ACORN organizer rips video (California ACORN)
San Bernadino Sun ^ | 9/15/2009 | Andrew Edwards

Posted on 09/15/2009 6:51:12 PM PDT by markomalley

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.

Glad to know ALL her exes are alive and well. Strange that she has a restraining order against her. Maybe it was a Bobbie Ewing dream. LOL

BTW, I wonder why she would fabricate such a story but go on to name many politicians. Something is fishy! :)

But according to a report issued by San Bernardino Police Chief Keith Kilmer, police visited all of Kaelke’s ex-husbands and found them “alive and well.” They are investigating the case further, the report says, but based on the evidence, Kaelke’s murder claim “do[es] not appear to be factual.”

Fox/Beck should offer these kids some protection. They might need it.

That is the modus operandi of these liberals. They pick apart small things and focus on side issues but ignore the overall theme, which in this case is the massive corruption and immorality of this group. What is their explanation of NY, DC, and MD? Were they all kidding around? How about the voter fraud? Was registering Paul Newman just a joke? Maybe the stimulus money to ACORN is to lighten up the sombre mood due to this economy!
Let’s keep the focus on the big picture. Job 1 is to force Obama and Eric Holder to take a position on the ACORN scandal. Don’t let the president get away with voting “present” on this one.

Hollyweird taking a stand on a moral issue?! I think there should be something investigated in the way Hollywood is in the same league with the corrupt politicians. How long are Americans, conservatives continue to accept the garbage that comes from Hollywood, especially from the National Endowment Fund. In movies and TV the boundaries of decency are no longer there anymore. If Hollywood didn’t have sex to fill in the story line they would be left with no creativity at all. My daughter is a writer and she just finished a script and sometimes her and I can clash on issue relating to the conservative point of view such as the one time when writing another script she had used the name of the Lord in vain within the dialogue. Needless to say I was greatly hurt and offended and she knew that she had been wrong and changed it. We as conservatives can change things if we allow ourselves to speak up in situations that might be uncomfortable to us, like that of my daughter and I. Just like the Nazi’s, I have been reading the Pink Swastika, propaganda and the Arts and Education was used to further their cause. A lot of the break down of our cultural comes from Hollywood and of course acceptance of sin. Divorce is said to be 50% of the outcome for marriage but in Hollywood it’s said to be 150%, their numbers from some entertainment show. But people like Demi Moore and those like her want to try to give advice to the rest of us.

Always a good starting point for info. The disclaimer is that the information is not always accurate. But usually you can get enough info to know what direction to go.

Haven’t been able to find an obit for either son.

"I would love to know how many Acorn video’s they’ve made."

I've read somewhere on the net (may have been right here on FR) that so far they have revealed 4 hours and they have over 48 hours.

Not sure if such is fact but if it is then ACORN is in for a long and bumpy ride.

I think it’s two daughters and two deceased sons.

It’s confusing because Lorie has a “dad uncle.”

Either Tresa married Duane’s brother or Tresa’s sister married Duane ... or something like that.

He’s named after his father, who was Tresa’s first husband.

i did see something on biggovernment.com about someone who thought tresa looked familiar, and thought she looked like someone on the show intervention.

just did a quick imdb search and there was a ‘tressa’ in season two. might be nothing, though.
