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.

world class lawyers, plus LOTS of money, plus strong-arming will make it a very big battle.

Maybe this is giving Andrew Breitbart too much credit? Somehow, I think he's thought this whole thing out more carefully than ACORN has.

Yes. And it doesn't hurt to have TRUTH on your side. I predict ACORN is going down on this one.

I wonder why is he holding back the rest of the videos?

Making this a slow drip. The MSM can't sweep this under the rug if this goes on for months. One big info dump, this story would of been gone 1 week ago.

Give these idiots the Chinese Water Torture. Draw it out for months and embarress the heck out of them. Sooner or later the real Obama ties with ACORN will come into play.

>>”ACORN, in Maryland, appears to be a corporate non-entity since last year.”

I do not know about Maryland, but in my state, if they are not a corporation, or a registered foriegn corporation, they do not officially exist, and therefore lack any standing to file a suit. As individuals, yes. But not as an organization. Perhaps a real lawyer could comment.

As Steve Hayward said on the Corner — where do I send in my money for the defense fund?

“ACORN has world class lawyers. Trust me. This will be a battle.”

ACORN only has first class race baiters, not lawyers. Their ghetto tactics don’t work in a courtroom.

ACORN has liberal lawyers just like Obama. They think more highly of themselves than they should.

The federal False Claims Act and RICO come to mind, and would be very interesting.

Oh please oh please oh please.

They are lashing out because their back is against the wall and their “funding” is drying up. This is a sign that they are extremely desperate.

But but ACORN’s leaders were praising them the other night for uncovering this!

Do liberals EVER tell the truth?

For ACORN the downside of a suit of ths type is way greater than any return they may get. Discovery should be a blast.
