SAN BERNARDINO - The head organizer for California ACORN says a new video that appears to show a staffer at the organization's San Bernardino office is fake journalism.
The video, which was posted shortly before 2 p.m. Tuesday on a Web site called Big Government.com, shows a female ACORN employee talking to a man who claims to be a pimp interested in establishing a brothel where underage immigrant prostitutes would turn tricks in order to raise money for political activity.
The woman, identified on the video as Tresa Kaelke, appears on posted footage to be interested in cooperating the plan. However, California ACORN head organizer Amy Schur said the video is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened.
"In this video, there are two actors who come into our office and who were messing with us. And our employee was messing with them," Schur said.
She said that the complete and unedited video needs to be released to the public.
Schur said that in a moment not shown on the edited video, Kaelke asked the undercover "pimp" if he was joking and then proceeded to play along with the joke.
Furthermore, Schur said that Kaelke will sign an affidavit stating that she was not seriously entertaining the idea of cooperating with an apparent attempt to establish a house of prostitution.
"She (Kaelke) asked if they were joking and asked if they were reporters. They said they weren't reporters and they aren't. This is not legitimate news," Schur said.
Schur's statements follow comments from ACORN office supervisor Christina Spach, who said Kaelke was afraid of the "pimp" and "prostitute" who broached the prostitution ploy at ACORN's San Bernardino office.
The Big Government.com video identifies the "pimp" as James O'Keefe and the "prostitute" as Hannah Giles. O'Keefe and Giles could not be reached immediately for comment.
Although I think the majority of the people on these videos were not acting, the defense of "I was just going along with it" might actually work. We will need to see the unedited video.
It doesn't have to be. It has been sponging plenty of funds from the US Government. Now in the future, who knows?
Correct. To access the court webpage:
Run your cursor over to "criminal" and choose "case information online". When that page opens, scroll down to accept their disclaimer. Then another page will open and you can do a traffic/criminal case search or a civil/family law/small claims/probate case search. I searched on the last name only, in case "Tresa" was not her complete or proper spelling of her first name.
With that, you should be able to look around and see case notes, fines, etc. (She does have an outstanding balance owed to the courts for a traffic case, too BTW.)
You have to “log in” but that does not require any registration or special credentials to do so. All you have to do is click the “log in” button.
You mean, We the People, the taxpayer, pay her a wage, right?
Have they explained why the date shown is August 14, 2005 or why the right hand side is blurred.
The 2005 is the default year in the camera. The blurring is on both sides of the camera image and is there because it is being displayed on a widescreen monitor and the image is not. If you look closely you can see that the blurred portions are actually fuzzed repeats of the displayed image on screen. They (the studio) chose to use this method rather than just blacking out the unused portions on the screen. 232 posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 6:40:34 PM by Utilizer (What does not kill you... -can sometimes damage you QUITE severely.)
Yeah, these folks are good and there is a ton of them. They are some bad a$$ed researchers. Glad I havent done anything wrong :)
Now if we can just the the MSM to stop being Presidential shills and report the facts...All the facts
The Democratic Party, which represented the slave-masters before the Civil War puts forth the first black president who is joined at the hip with an organization that helps to facilitate the bondage of illegal immigrant girls as sex slaves?
That's really ironic.
And no wonder the Democrats want the borders wide open! They're making too much money off the sex trade!
Look at Barney Frank and his boyfriend's bordello as another example!
And remember how Demi Moore promised to fight modern slavery in her Pledge commercial?
The Democrats are setting up sex slavery as a problem and then pretend to fight it to make themselves look good and to hide their complicity!
if the media actually did their job then these two brave souls would not have had to have done this.
another point which has been missed in all of this.
Where would ACORN have got them a house and why should the neighbors of that area put up with it
You’re right. Theresa WAS doing the wee wee dance.

Boy! Is that all you are gonna write to me? I wish you would e-mail me or something! Fill me in on you and yours and how you are doing these days. By your pictures I can tell you have been keeping yourself pretty busy. You sure are doing a great job raising those 3 boys of yours. They are growing up so fast and what lil’ hunks they are. You should be very proud of yourself Tammy. I know I am. Although I have always believed in you and your unconditional loving heart. That is very much a Berhow quality as well as a Parten. So you have twice as much compassion and joy than most. Keep up the great work and keep in touch with your oldest and favorite cuz’! If that is still true than don’t be such a stranger. I miss you so much my heart hurts. But the abundance of unconditional love I have for you is what keeps me strong enough to cope with the distance we have between us. Cause I would give anything to be in your life everyday. The memories we could have and be able to look back on. We both love to laugh and make others laugh. That is a quality I am so thankful for. Anyway, you think my comment is a bit over done? Ha! Ha! Soooooo! I have a lot to comment on! Especially when it’s so few and far between. I love you with all my heart Tammy Sherree! I think about you everyday. Take care and God Bless your beautiful family. And please keep in touch with me even if it is through my space only, that would be enough for me. Remember, I am the oldest grandchild in this family now and get to do some bossing around just cause I can. Ha! Ha! And you have to listen, don’t you? LOL... Gotta go for now but I will keep in touch with you as much as possible. C-ya Cuz’

The police say there is no husband.
I think O’Keefe and Giles should not have released this one. I think the lady is as nutty as a fruitcake. But this ONE PARTICULAR episode WILL be covered by the media and used to discredit O’Keefe and Giles.
They will say that they are all like this and that there is nothing to see here. “All of the films are like this”.
Watch.
