This e-mail will be a little long, because I’m showing my work. While it might seem like an imposition to ask you to read such a long e-mail, I believe I’m doing you a favor, because I’m laying out the research necessary to show that corrections are warranted.
Let’s start with Dreier’s false claim that only two offices offered to help shield an underage prostitution ring:
Two “gotcha” right-wing activists showed up at about 10 ACORN offices hoping to entice low-level staff to provide tax advice for an illegal prostitution ring. In most ACORN offices, the staff kicked the pair out. In a few cities, staffers called the police. In two offices, however, the staff listened and offered to help. That was wrong. But ACORN immediately fired the errant staffers.
“Two” offices? Try at least five, if not more. Let’s start with the two that Dreier appears to acknowledge.

More fine work by Patrick Frey. No one who regularly reads Patterico trusts anything they read in the LA Times.
Excellent.
