ACORN Sues Breitbart: ACORN Falls into Another Breitbart Trap?

Mouse Trap

ACORN CIVIL SUIT MAY PULL BACK THE CURTAIN ON ACORN ITSELF

Remember less than two weeks ago, James O'Keefe dared ACORN to sue?

On September 13, during an appearance on FOX News, O'Keefe, the young independent filmmaker who went undercover with partner, Hannah Giles, demanded an ACORN apology and practically called the tangled web of community organizers "wimps"--or worse.

The independent filmmaker whose hidden-camera videos prompted the firing of four ACORN workers is demanding an apology from ACORN for calling his work a fabricated "scam" and daring the activist group to take legal action against him.

"Bring it on," filmmaker James O'Keefe said Sunday on FOX News. --Filmmaker Demands Apology From ACORN for Claiming Undercover Video 'Doctored'

Today ACORN complied. [It's On! ACORN Sues O'Keefe, Giles And Breitbart]

Was this part of the carefully-orchestrated roll-out of the videos by Andrew Breitbart?

Breitbart certainly seems to have thought this through a lot more thoroughly than ACORN's Bertha Lewis, whose story has changed almost daily in response to a continuing onslaught of damning information.

Breitbart, in BREITBART: The politicized art behind the ACORN plan:

Videos of five different ACORN offices in five separate cities would be released on five consecutive weekdays over a full week - Baltimore, Washington, New York, San Bernadino and San Diego. By dripping the videos out, we exposed to anyone paying attention that ACORN was lying through its teeth and that the media would look imbecilic continuing to trot out their hapless spokespeople.

Back to the ACORN Trap Theory.

ACORN is reacting.

Breitbart is choosing his actions.

Big difference. Those who choose to act do so after judging the situation and all possibilities...And have made multiple plans to win.

Those who react are almost always loosers.

This is a German name. In German, the combination of "i" and "e" always has the hard sound of the second vowel. If his name was spelled B-R-I-E-T-B-A-R-T, it would be pronounced "BREETBART".

BTW, his name means "Broad beard" auf Deutsch.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I could not remember and I have been busy since I posted that. He was more than a sleazebag. he was arrogant, rude, and he looked drunk or stoned. He leered and sneered through the whole interview and just lied through the sneer, almost daring Beck to punch him. It is a sure wonder that Beck DIDN’T knock him on his butt.

I know why I incorporated my small business, it was to reduce my liability in case of a law suit. If ACORN wasn’t incorporated for 2+ years, I think that I would be looking to find people that had complaints with ACORN and file suits against the officers, personally.

Isn’t one of the rules that organizations don’t hurt, people do?

Threaten the officers with personal bankruptcy. Make them hire personal lawyers. It will cripple the organization, make them hurt and cause division among the ACORN ranks.

"Holen Sie es."

But, there may be a far better colloquialism of which I am unaware.
