WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Andrew Breitbart's Big Government will hold a press conference featuring James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, the two daring young journalists who, posing as a "pimp" and "prostitute," exposed massive corruption within ACORN's offices throughout the country. The Press Conference will be held at the National Press Club of Washington, DC on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.
After suing Breitbart.com, Mr. O'Keefe and Ms. Giles in Maryland over the release of the Baltimore tapes, ACORN has issued public statements denying any wrongdoing in its Philadelphia office and lying about what happened there. Mr. O'Keefe and Ms. Giles are now prepared to respond.
According to Mr. Breitbart, "ACORN representatives claim James and Hannah were kicked out of Philadelphia. They also said publicly that unlike Baltimore, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, San Bernardino and San Diego, James and Hannah never even mentioned prostitution before they were told to leave. James and Hannah will be joining me to set the record straight. After Wednesday, everyone will know what really happened in Philly."
Reps Steve King (R-IA) and Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), leaders in the congressional fight to defund ACORN will be also be in attendance to offer brief remarks. CONTACT: Sergio Gor (C) 323-828-9606

“Video: The Abu Ghraib Of The Great Society Andrew Breitbart On ACORN”
http://pajamasmedia.com/eddriscoll/2009/10/19/abu-ghraib-of-the-great-society/
“...When one report from The Washington Post called him for a story about OKeefe and Giles, Breitbart compared their tape to the photos of Abu Ghraib prison released in April 2004.
She goes, Wait a second! I worked on the Abu Ghraib stories, said Breitbart. I go, Yeah, that was one aberrant National Guard unit. And now I have five ACORN places that are all complicit in the exact same thing. And there are more! (The reporter, Carol Leonning told TWI that the conversation did not go this way, but that she enjoyed getting Breitbarts take very much.)
Breitbart, angered by the Posts eventual storyit seemed to intimate that OKeefe and Giles had been motivated by ACORNs registration of non-white voters, in a line that was corrected days latermoved right on. BigGovernment had claimed a victory that conservative journalists and activists had been seeking for years, occasionally embarrassing ACORN with a state lawsuit, but drawing no blood. It was a natural next step for Breitbart. Until a few years ago he was known mostly as the man behind the curtain of The Drudge Report and a ringleader for Hollywoods quiet community of political conservatives. (Breitbart lives in Los Angeles and runs his web operations from an office in his basement.) With the launch of BigGovernment, he is gaining new recognition as the conservative movements most successful in terms of damaging liberals new media pioneer.
I get accused of breaking some journalism school rules, said Breitbart. Well, why dont we have the Howard Kurtz conversation on a low-rated CNN show after this? Or at a J-school of your choice? Im willing to be accused of being a monster.
Following the news conference, will they all be arrested and extradited to Delaware, courtesy of a Biden relative?
Just in time! ACORN only loses it’s funding until Oct 31st then it starts again. Time to turn the spigot off for good!
THANK GOD!!!!!
Good post 444, thanks for keeping us up to date on the scoop!
I’m anxious to see what else they have.
I bet some people are getting a little tense...
I am watching “Omen.”
How fitting.
