New Orleans Escorts: Big Government doesn’t want to "jump to conclusions" on guilt — unless it’s ACORN

January 28, 2010

The alleged crimes committed by
ACORN employees in the O’Keefe and Giles videos were excused, and even
rationalized, by the Left. But they don’t apply the same level of patience and
understanding for O’Keefe and Company. Even
worse, they’re jumping to conclusions about their guilt, and the nature of their
alleged crime.
OK, so jumping to conclusions about
guilt is a bad, bad thing to do. With that in mind, let’s take a look back at what BigGovernment.com
contributor Kyle Olson wrote
in December about the report issued by former Massachusetts attorney general
Scott Harshbarger, which found no evidence that the ACORN employees involved in the O’Keefe
video sting had acted illegally:
One of Harshbarger’s most startling
conclusions was that ACORN Housing Corp. employees committed no crimes when they
were caught on video repeatedly giving advice to a couple posing as a pimp and
prostitute. He even suggests that the
employees may have been represented in a false light, and were not as guilty as
they appeared on video.
