It's on their website.

Nowhere in that article does it report that the footage was edited to make it falsely appear that the ACORN staff was doing something illegal. My point still stands.

I'll be waiting for Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, et al to apologize on camera to ACORN for demonizing them over of the lies perpetrated by these filmmakers. But I won't be holding my breath.

The Fox News article has been conveniently edited to exclude mention of convenient editing.

LOL! Funny or Die gets SNL presidential impersonators (past and present) together for a reunion to promote consumer protection

That's great. Go Ron Howard!

Wow- the sad thing is ACORN has been tainted anyway. They ought to sue the shyt out of those so-called news organizations.

Yep. Another win for the Big Lie. Another loss for the common people.

Still - I'd be curious to see the unedited ACORN tapes. What they did might not be illegal ... and the stuff I heard wasn't even something I personally wouldn't have similarly advised a pimp/prostitute pair. But the stuff I heard, edited or not, seemed entirely unethical - no matter how compassionate - to advise.

It may have been edited, and the stuff I heard taken out of context. But they said what they said, and it was very damning. I cannot imagine what context would make it innocent.

So if you don't support ACORN you are not a common person?

If news organizations could be sued for taking things out of context there would be no news organizations left.

Just read this and thought it was funny. YMMV.
