Police Report Debunks Right-Wing Attack on ACORN
Makers of the controversial ACORN video, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, as well as Andrew Breitbart and Mike Flynn, are now under fire for falsely stating that the filmmakers were never rebuffed by anyone at ACORN offices they visited. However, in a newly released video, ACORN Housing Corp.’s Katherine Conway Russell directly rebuts those claims, citing a police report ACORN filed as evidence that she asked the filmmakers to leave the ACORN office in Philadelphia and called the police after the filmmakers asked suspicious questions.
Congress has yanked federal funding from the civil rights action group since the video, which looks like a prank participated in by everyone on camera, depicted an ACORN employee coaching a ‘prostitute’ and ‘pimp’ in obtaining federal assistance, surfaced days ago. Congress has also eliminated ACORN’s involvement in census reporting. Let’s see how quickly Congress will act to correct the scores of well-documented corporate abuses in health care and banking, including adhesion contracts, pre-existing condition clauses, userous interest rates, and over draft and late fees that are out of step with the level of risk or cost of credit.
