The pimps shit is bullshit. They called the cops immediately after he left. Which is exactly what they shoudl have done. Played along until the guy left, then call the cops. The Acorn sting was neo con bullshit they just jumped on a narrative. Spread bullshit about it. got Acorn shut down. Because neo-cons hated ACORN.

NOW does taht mean ACORN was on the up and up? No.. But Okeefes ACORN video and the narrative that happened after was complete bullshit.

But yah some of Okeefes stuff is legit.

I haven’t heard that before. If you are right, a dialogue would have served. Do you have a link to support this? I like to think I have an open mind. However, wasn’t there more to this, and wasn’t there an effort to cover this up?

Maybe because he caught someone with their hand in the cookie jar, O’Keefe had a chance to double down and play some dirty pool. Since their really WAS shadiness, the way he framed them as trafficking enablers stuck, making his expose a polemic by virtue signaling. Am I getting it right?

If so, I think Veritas’ pulled a no-no, but not a big one. It would behoove them to admit that last bit, but as long as they keep on trucking with the exposures, nobody will care about how dumb they make their targets look. Maybe ‘all’s fair in love and war’?

look if he wanted to expose ACORN for registering known illegals to vote. Whicch is what the republicans were ACTUALLY accusing them of but had not and still havve not found definitive proof. He should have gone in with a hispaniic person and talked about how they were not a citizen and seen if ACORN would still have helped them register.

I've helped people register to vote... You have no way of knowing who is ok to vote or isnt. You usually just hand them the form they fill it out and hand it back. If its fraudelent that is supposed to be caught by the FEC. Now if somoene told me they were a felon or an illegal I'm not gunna hand them that form.

Makes sense. We don’t get any sense of what these ladies did after he left. The seemed a LITTLE too helpful to me, which would make sense if they played along just enough for him to be satisfied and leave. I definitely feel like your explanation fits for at least one video.

I am not political, and I find their attacks against each other to be wasteful and demeaning. Think about how much would be exposed on both sides, if the followers on the left and the right weren’t so distracted by their opposing directives. Keeping the finger pointed at the ‘team’ that has been exposed recently is slowing us down, but in a sense, we have to take what we can get for now.

Veritas is giving our work a boost right now. Let’s just be watchful for when the pendulum of scrutiny swings to the right.
