The Baltimore adventure with ACORN started off as a silly idea, both absurd and incredible by all accounts. But it stuck, and quickly escalated into a full blown operation with scripts, method acting, undercover gear, scandalous outfits, fast minds, good hearts, plenty of humor and healthy homemade blueberry muffins. When I pitched the “prostitute goes into ACORN seeking housing” idea to James O’Keefe at the beginning of the summer, I had absolutely no idea how he would respond. He came back with, “Would you be willing to portray the prostitute? And if so, when can you do this?” --Hannah Giles

he served as Publications Coordinator at the Leadership Institute

That makes him a protege of the renowned Morton Blackwell, founder of The Leadership Institute, which exists to train conservative activists, originally as political campaign managers. Morton came from the College Republicans and the Young Republicans some thirty plus years ago.

Congratulations are indirectly due to him too.

Yes. this is good to highlight this young man....but the conservative movement needs to start highlighting Hannah, his girlfriend who was in on the sting with him!

A 20 year old Christian, conservative young woman...and we don’t make a big deal out of that???? It’s HUGH! and Series!!

conservatives have not done a good job getting our message out to women, blacks and hispanics. We have a great message for them...yet we continue to ignore and underplay them.
