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.
LOl we shall see won’t we? Discovery should be entertaining until at least 2012.
You tell ‘em Ms. 444. No one messes with our guy ; )
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.
Get F. Lee Levin on the phone! O’Keefe vowed “Bring it On”!
ACORN has liberal lawyers just like Obama. They think more highly of themselves than they should.
Oh please oh please oh please.
YESSSS, “Bring It”
Ah, a thing of beauty and a joy to behold.
They have no case.
Do liberals EVER tell the truth?
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
For ACORN the downside of a suit of ths type is way greater than any return they may get. Discovery should be a blast.
Wait a sec...is this one of those trick questions? ;^)
