ACORN Threatening To Sue, Says Video’s Were “Doctored”
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-14-09 | Curt

ACORN is now saying the video's that Aye and Mata have been writing about were doctored and are now threatening to sue:

[VIDEO AT SITE]

Only problem is, they fired the people involved in giving advice to James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles on how to run a sex business, hide the money from that business, and then get James into politics. Why in the world would you fire them if they were innocent and the tapes were doctored?

Read the transcript and you find quotes like: (h/t Hot Air)

ACORN 4: You want to make sure you distance yourself from that. Straight up. And the other thing is — okay, I know this is no disrespect to you, sweetheart. OK? … If you buy the home, you have no knowledge of what’s goin’ on in that home. He’s just [garbled] the landlord. …

ACORN 4: All someone needs to do is get wind that you got a house and that your girlfriend is over there running a house of the women in the night. You will not have a career [in politics]. You will be smeared and tarnished for life to come.

Yeaaaah. That sounds doctored. You have the ACORN employee directly telling James that must not have any knowledge of the kind of business Hannah is going to be running, and then telling him what will happen if word does get out that he is involved in the house....his political career would be done.

ACORN is threatening to sue Fox News, James, and Hannah. To which I say PLEASE DO!

Discovery in a court of law is a wonderful thing. A whole lot of stuff will be coming out after that which will ruin them.

BRING ... IT ... ON! Let’s see exactly what else will be made public that ACORN doesn’t want anyone to see.

How exactly would it being ‘doctored’ change the context/content? What are they claiming, that they completely changed what was said?

I have a feeling they found editing points where they trimmed off the front and back (like walking in and out of the building, etc) and are trying to use that to discredit the video.

The video was doctored? Hey, why not? It worked for R. Kelly. Josh Levin of “Slate” dubbed it the “Little Man Defense” in his hilarious coverage of the trial.

Never underestimate the gullibility of a jury.

I believe them this kind of racist trickery happens all the time! That's like this picture:

It's fake! It was doctor from a picture that a friend took of these guys when they attended a Taylor Swift concert.

Didn't seem to be a problem for Barney Frank.

Did he get away with it because he's Democrat, homosexual or both?

If they want to salvage anything of this criminal organization, they should keep their mouth shut....

With the mainstreaming of Pimps N Hos via HBO specials, books, movies out there - ‘Annual Players Ball - Mack of the Year’....’American Pimp’....’Pimps Up, Hos Down’....’Pimpology: The 48 Laws of the Game’.......it’s not at all inconceivable to me that two young people dressed as O’Keefe and Giles could walk into ACORN and ask for a housing loan. If they did it....then you know...somewhere out there....a Pimp has his Hos in a house and he is laughing at all of us idiots who are paying for his lifestyle........talk about ‘playin da game’......

Nothing but desperate theatrics aimed at preventing the release of more tapes.

Oooh, bring it on. Sue a news channel for reporting the news. Oh, yeah. FOX will have ACORN segments on 24/7. Don’t you just love the smell of roasted acorns in the morning.

Uh huh, just like lil ole Danny Rather ... Sorry, but there are probably enough video and audio experts out here in Internet land who can pretty quickly take care of the “doctored” argument.

Next case?
