“that things are not always as partisan zealots portray them through highly selective editing of reality.” Pretty much sums up their 'reality'.

What a bunch of lies. But in his actual taped sessions with ACORN workers, he was dressed in a shirt and tie. He never claimed he was a pimp.” So the whole premise of the attack on ACORN was false. This guy dressed up like a pimp and went into the ACORN offices. And they gave him straight up advice like that was normal. Actually no, he was dressed up like a law student and they called the cops on him. People who watched the tapes know he presented himself as the boyfriend of a prostitute. You may call that a pimp or not. They told the ACORN folks they were going to bring in underage girls from central America and employ them as prostitutes. Again, that sounds like a pimp to me. And the ACORN folks had no problem and gave them advice about how to evade taxes and trouble with the law. They virtually fell over themselves in eagerness to aid them. Its really scuzzy of Democrats to defend this kind of thing. It shows a thorough lack of character to be willing to aid and abet and cover up child prostitution even if it wasn't really going on but was merely presented as a plan.

(R) communications principle: "A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants." Mark Twain Coupled with the attention span of the average American, it sadly works.

Let Them Eat Fake -- Rachel Maddow Did you hear that the community organizing group ACORN shut down all of its offices this week? ACORN shut all of their offices this week in the same week that the California attorney general release his assessment of what really happened in the supposed ACORN pimp video scandal that ultimately brought the group down. Its too bad they have closed down. I had direct dealings with ACORN in housing development. While there was some corruption with ACORN, they also did a lot of good for the poor, a segment of the population that doesn't get much attention by the private sector.
