If this is true, it was very stupid.

You don’t defraud, no matter what the reason.

NBC learned that lesson in a very expensive way with their infamous Food Lion undercover video.

FWIW, it was actually ABC. And, although ABC did have to pick up Food Lion's legal expenses - which I'm sure were exorbitant - the jury didn't award but $1 in punitive damages to Food Lion, primarily because the actions ABC captured at Food Lion were so reprehensible. Again, FWIW.

Right. And it will damage the overall public impression that ACORN/COI sting was morally justified and useful, with that of some kid grabbing at attention and trying to bring people down.

Not sayin’ the RATS shouldn’t be scared of being brought down.

But not like this. It’s too rich a corruption environment to be doing stupid stuff like this, imho. I hope he gets a fair shake at justice...

sarc/ mebbe he should start a non-profit for the poor and support the RATs, they’ll let him skate then.../sarc
