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.

You may be right, and that would be great.
But my point is, so what if ACORN sues. Let them. What damage can they do, except to themselves by proving to anyone who may have a doubt what a thug organization they are.
This is a win-win for Breitbart et al.
Well, well, well...looky here:

The IRS is severing ties with ACORN!!!
I would settle for “loser go away”.
e.g. his serene islamic awesomeness Mehmet ali Baraque Insein 0baaahma
Andrew Breitbart, Tea Partier
Andrew Breitbart...the new grammer rules..."i after e"...especially after r.
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.There's this big lumpy rug, the MSM has it, and it's getting lumpier all the time...
The same ones who work for the ACLU, and all on our dollar.
first they fired the people
thinking it would go away and they say we will fix it blah blah blah
then they said the ACORN workers were toying with them it is a joke
then they said the ACORN actions were wrong
they threatened to sue
then they attacked
then they said they would clean it up
then they said they would sue
I wonder if Mark Levin will be involved.
That's exactly what Andrew Breitbart said in an interview last week. Heh. ACORN will probably come to regret this decision.
We're with you Andy. Give em’ all heck!
The best the Justice Department can buy.
“The discovery phase of the proceeding should be very interesting.”
Really...do you think they could use it to “discover” POTUS Obama’s real BC from Hawaii?
But the real blast will come with the countersuit, which will almost certainly be filed under RICO's civil suit provisions, since ACORN's lawsuit will be part of a pattern of intimidation.
Can somebody please sue ACORN under RICO?

We were thinking the exact same thing.
Yeah. ACORN hired Scott Harshbarger to review itself. Harsbarger is senor counsel in the Boston office of Proskauer Rose.
Their 2007 Pro Bono page says it all.
sO THEREFORE, if obama decides to go for another four, would we just make it simple and use an all American word “Acorn” for President?
