No, It Wasn’t My Idea for Hannah Giles to Dress Like a Hooker and Infiltrate ACORN

No, It Wasn’t My Idea for Hannah Giles to Dress Like a Hooker and Infiltrate ACORN

Doug Giles

Saturday, September 19, 2009

It’s been quite interesting watching and reading the statements coming from ACORN and various “news” organizations about the “facts” of the Giles/O’Keefe ACORN caper. Here’s a little sample of what they have been saying about the two evil citizen journalists, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, the ones who picked on poor, poor, poor, old ACORN.

Check it out, the truth according to nutty ACORN (and what really happened):

1. Giles’ and O’Keefe’s timeframe for filming. Bertha Lewis and others have stated that Hannah and James spent many months visiting scores of ACORN centers to get these few videos. One wizard said Hannah and James had been doing this since 2005, which would have made Hannah, oh, let’s see, about 14 or 15. Hello! I’m a cool dad—but not that cool.

I guess Bertha could be right about the time Giles and O’Keefe invested in the ACORN sting op if she counts her days in dog years. If that’s how she rolls then she’s spot-on with the “many months” statement. By the way, if that’s true, this November I’ll be 329 years old. Happy birthday to me! I think I’ll get another gun! I’m diggin’ on the S&W .500 magnum. She’s purty.

The truth of the matter, from a timeline standpoint, is that they hatched their plan in May of ’09, fine-tuned it from May 20th – July 23rd, and then launched July 24th, fully accomplishing their mission by the end of August. And that’s a fact to all those for whom facts still matter.

2. Giles’ and O’Keefe’s mission failed in many locations. Bertha and her buddies say with vigor and Reverend Wright unction that Giles and O’Keefe tried this trick in hundreds of locations without success. Marc Lamont Hill was on O’Reilly’s show this past week parroting the same smack. I heard one lunatic say they visited thousands of centers nationwide (there are under 200. Oops). Hey, guys: Why stop at hundreds and thousands? Why not say gazillions or quadrillions of ACORN centers?! Go Dr. Evil with the numbers. The truth of the matter happens to be that Hannah and James visited just a few locations—I won’t say how many—and struck gold, or sewage, everywhere they went.

3. Giles and O’Keefe had FOX News bankroll this escapade. I believe that, according to the ACORN spinmeisters, they had the amount of drachmas FOX had given Hannah and James in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The oh-so-sexy reality regarding this little nugget is that it cost these two acorn-crackers $1,300 of their own money. It’s amazing what one can do with a little cash, grandma’s chinchilla coat, a miniskirt and a whole lot of vision, eh? The only cash they received from FOX was for their hotel stay and their airfare while they did Beck’s and Hannity’s shows. That’s the truth. Oh, and as far as me giving her any pesos, for this epoch her papasito gave her nada. Not a penny. No FOX funds. No crazy Christian dad dollars.

4. Giles’ radical, ultra-conservative Christian dad put her up to it. I believe that’s how someone on one of those unwatched news shows has been bending it. Well, I can tell you as her dad that I did not. As much as me no likey the nefarious underpinnings and corrupt acts of ACORN, having my kid dress like a hooker and infiltrate such a place is not in my repertoire. That was Hannah’s baby from start to finish. I simply told her to be careful because we all know how dangerous sweet community organizers can be. Oh, FYI . . . if confessing I’m a sinner, believing orthodox Christian doctrine, saluting our flag and that for which it stands, loving the Constitution, hating terrorists, being fond of guns, hunting, country and rock music while adoring freedom makes me a crazy ultra-conservative Christian lunatic then I guess I am one of those. I will put that name right next to the other name Obama’s former green czar called such a person back in March (I believe he called us “a**holes”).

5. Giles and O’Keefe doctored the tapes. This is silly. James is a talented post-production editor, but he didn’t put the words in the ACORN workers’ mouths. He’s sharp . . . but not that sharp. Anyway, if he did you and I both would know it because it would have looked and sounded like one of those old Bruce Lee flicks. Unfortunately for Bertha, Andrew Breitbart has the vids and the transcripts in their entirety on his new site biggovernment.com for anyone to behold. Grab some popcorn and watch ‘em. It’s a teachable moment. Oh, speaking of the tapes: You might wanna go back to the San Bernadino one and listen to the list of politicians the ACORN lady rattled off as elected officials who would possibly be ready and willing to assist with the House for Hookers program.

Well, my children, that’s the inside poop on how it happened. That’s reality. I, personally, am stunned by what my kid and her cohort did in ratting out tawdry corruption on the highest (or lowest) level. As far as I am concerned, Giles and O’Keefe are American heroes par excellence. They accomplished something in a few short weeks, on a wing and a prayer, that other agencies and people have been trying to expose for many, many moons.

Never mind. It was a spoof. In fact there was a FR thread about it. Rush dropped the ball and I kicked it out of bounds! Sorry.

Thursday, Rush was talking about a CNN anchorette describing Hannah Giles as the daughter of Doug Giles as if he were a household name. Rush had never heard of him and when he did a web search it turned up as a Townhall writer who supported Obama for president. I haven’t done a search myself, just mentioning it FWIW.

I've followed Giles' work for quite awhile. He is NOT an Obama supporter.

You said you didn't have first hand knowledge. I got a really crazy suggestion for you; before you falsely accuse (bear false witness), do a little research and get the facts straight.

Lame attempts to discredit Christian Conservatives with rumors and innuendo are the practices of Progressives and Trolls.

Uh, then why did you fire all those people?

Mensa they ain’t.

But They are pretty sure you’re too stupid to do anything about it as the Press has been lying to you for years and you still don’t get it. Why should this story be any different?

"Are you saying the duo visited visited literally dozens of ACORN offices with this act, and NOT ONE ACORN office notified the authorities?"

I heard somewhere that the workers in a Philly office showed off a "Police Report". They said they only played along and that after the duo left they were concerned and called the cops.

The problem was they named the two with their real names. How would they have known their real names? It was obviously not done until the videos were released.

Those people should be fired for being too stupid to breathe. They embarrass the whole human race.


I just heard the story, I dunno how much credence to give it.

I agree with you, GB, there's no way Doug Giles endorsed or voted for Obama.

I think I know what happened with Rush. He did a quick Google search, saw the title below, but didn't read the article. LOL!

Conservative Christian Columnist Doug Giles Endorses Barack Obama

When I listened to a bit of Rush last week, he didn’t know who Doug Giles was. I suppose he did a quick search and found Doug’s column called, “Conservative Christian Columnist Doug Giles Endorses Barack Obama.” He mustn’t have read it. It’s pure sarcasm.

http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/columnists/DougGiles/2008/08/31/conservative_christian_columnist_doug_giles_endorses_barack_obama

I love Rush, but I wish he had done his Doug Giles research off the air. I’m sure it was a bit of a blow to Doug’s ego when Rush was saying, “Who the hell is Doug Giles? I never heard of him.”

I'm pretty sure the year on one of the videos, at least the one shown on Fox News, was 2005. Someone must have forgotten to change the date.

I saw the 2005 date on one of the videos on Fox as well. I thought the same as you, someone didn’t change the date.

Both Breitbart and Fox passing off 4 year old video as something that just recently took place would have been suicide on their part.

Doug does a good job of shooting holes in the arguments of ACORN and their defenders. However, had this been any organization other than the liberals sacred ACORN no one would have even attempted to defend them. It wouldn't matter if it was a government agency or a private company. The media would have been united in condemning them.

The liberal media know that when people hear ACORN they think of Obama. This has led them to attempt to protect ACORN and look like fools doing it. Releasing the tapes gradually has caught them in a trap of their own making. They thought they could ignore it. Then they tried to marginalize and defend what any thinking person would find reprehensible.

The execution of this was flawless. To have the liberals machine brought down by a pair of 20 year-olds on a shoestring budget is nothing short of amazing. ACORN must have truly believed they could get away with anything.

Well...it is obvious where Hannah gets her guts and penchant for telling the truth. Congrats to Dad and her!

As to Acorn, and their "spins," expect to hear more. Every excuse under the sun will be thrown at us. It is their way. These people make telling the truth a crime and not vice-versa. They will offer every blame or excuse that pops into their minds, just to see which one will be accepted and divert the attention and get them off the hook. Always the double-talk will flow. Soon, the story is so clouded and foggy even they will not remember their own lies.

This guy is brilliant. He released one video knowing their response would be “There’s on bad apple at Acorn”. Which is exactly what they said. Then he released another, then another, then another...hilarious!

Mark my words.

And what the libs now, so wounded and seething with abject anger that they cannot even pee straight over this ACORN-SEIU STING, somewhere in the US are doing, is plotting revenge as I speak.

They have picked out some kind of American conservative group. I dont know. Heritage Foundation? ALIPAC? NRA? Minutemen? F.A.I.R.? Free Republic? Young Republicans? Tea Parties?

At any rate, you can be guaranteed they will go in there with hidden videos in teams and pose as "crazy, Tim McVeigh looking right wingers" wanting to "join up". They will escalate their language, will talk about shooting Mexicans or Blacks, or will throw other racial ephithets around, may offer that they have weapons and can be called on if there is an uprising, other provocative crackpot talk.

They will look for any sign from anyone in these conservative offices to egg it on or agree or not react at all.

WARNING AND ALERT: (This is not even necessary because legitimate conservative groups would not have any of it), but, it is extremely advisable for all conservative organizations (I don't know many that get government money) to be on high alert, that have visitors ("walk ins") that start talking like this, that you IMMEDIATE read them the riot act, tell them they are NOT wanted in your office, escort them to the door and threaten to call the police right on the spot if they suggested any illegal or violent acts.

Thanks for posting that article.

Thanks to Mr. Giles for being honest.

A lesser man would have claimed it was all his ‘idea’.

BTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

An unverified source said there were 48 hours of tape.

We need to have patience, as whatever there is to be seen, we will see it when it is time.

Doug, I have been in awe of Giles and O’Keefe’s accomplishment since the original video broke last week. James and Hannah are two Davids, ACORN is Goliath and their hidden camera is the sling.
