If Your Attention Span Is At Least 18 Minutes (or even 10)….
…. you should watch the videos that follow by James O’Keefe of the newly-launched Big Government web site (Big Gov post; direct video Part 1; direct video Part 2; HT frequent commenter dscott).
It would be understandable, though, if after the first vid, you’re too angry or ill to deal with the second. That’s okay; you’ll get the point by then.
The setup:
Hannah Giles and I took advantage of ACORN’s regard for thug criminality by posing the most ridiculous criminal scenario we could think of and seeing if they would comply–which they did without hesitation.
Sickening comedy gold ensues (warning — if you haven’t figured it out already, R-rated content):
The full script of the vids is here at Big Gov.
These are the same people supposedly dedicated to affordable housing, cleaning up neighborhoods, registering new voters, and “social justice.”
Gag me:
Update: More comedy gold at the end of Ed Morrissey’s post at Hot Air with ACORN’s denial.
Ed’s vid reax:
Neither of the two bat an eyelash at human trafficking while advising them to evade taxes and prosecution for their crimes.
Despicable.
Both ACORN workers thrown under the bus, I mean fired, http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hA9b96qgu9MG_331xFUGcYvhOcLAD9AKO0I80
So ACORN is following it’s standard MO blame those who get caught to absolve themselves for at minimum their failure to have reasonable internal controls and supervision of their agents. We all know what’s going on here, flaunt the law, when caught, blame someone else and claim innocence. At what point is an organization held responsible for the actions of it’s employees following unwritten rules? Virtually every business is held accountable for the actions of it’s employees yet a liberal organization is exempt from the rules.

A second video has surfaced for ACORN in Washingon doing exactly the same thing!!!! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,549241,00.html
Someone else I suppose is going to be fired with more claims of innocence on ACORN’s part.
