'ACORN: "We knew they were filming us so we played along for laughs"'

Were the folks that ACORN fired in on the joke?

Except I didn't hear the punchline.

Was this supposed to be it because usually the punchline immediately follows the joke?

DeLorean should have tried that.

Or any of the victims of 60 Minutes or Michael Moore.

I don’t think the young lady pictured in the photo is in any danger of starving in the near future.

Really. The saddest thing is that these folks expect people to believe them. They clearly think their target audience is incredibly stupid. Well, they could be right, because I think their target audience is Congress...

I liked the mild insinuation from Breitbart that there may be videos of O’Keefe and Giles unsuccessfully trying to hand the ACORN videos over the the MSM.

They keep changing their plays and still get sacked. Get a new playbook, ACORN!

so if this was a joke and they knew about it why did they not come out with this earlier and why the wait to say this now?

ACORN is a joke corrupt group which need to be totally took apart and the top brass arrested

Yeah, right. In all those cities they all made the split moment decision to play along.

You know, I’m just getting weary and worn out from all this bull. And the fact that I find out from Jimmy I’m a racist just adds to it.

So, I'm at this bank, and playfully, I stuck a gun in the ribs of the teller, and jokingly told her it was a robbery. Now, she knew I was joking, so she played along and gave me a sack of money.

Whew! That was close!
