superking January 28, 2010 8:12 PM in reply to morgan warstler O’Keefe did not have on a pimp outfit in the ACORN offices. My mistake. Transcripts show that O’Keefe posed as his ‘prostitute’s’ boyfriend, asking Acorn employees for help protecting her from her pimp. He then edited the video to make it appear as if he were posing as the pimp. My bad. It wasn’t edited heavily… the only thing added was the pimp outfit. That may have been the only thing “added,” but there was a hell of a lot subtracted, including Acorn employees bullshitting with someone they clearly considered a practical joker, kicking O’Keefe out of their offices, and even calling the police. This whole episode is an embarassment for everyone involved, from idiot propagandists, morons who eat up the faked story even after it’s proven to be fake, and yes, Democrats and Repubs in Congress who illegally voted to defund ACORN based on a hoax.
