The ACORN scandal was completely made up

The right wing in this country went crazy with the James O'Keefe video of him and his girlfriend dressed as a pimp and a whore showed up and they claimed that employees of ACORN were going to help them set up a child prostitution ring. The only problem with their claims, they were all lies. The really sad part is that the lies and the resultant media frenzy actually succeeded in driving ACORN out of business.

This is a long-standing organization that helped poor people in this country, so it's a really sad event that ACORN was forced to declare bankruptcy and close its doors, especially when the allegations that caused this were completely fabricated by low life James O'Keefe and helped along by Fox "News" and other right wing media organizations.

James O'Keefe arrested by FBI for felony

Now this is a really sweet story. James O'Keefe, a conservative activist that gained fame for his video accusing ACORN of trying to assist a pimp in getting federal dollars has been arrested in New Orleans and admitted to entering a federal office under false pretenses, along with three others. They were apparently posing as telephone repairmen. We don't know yet what they were trying to do, but for the charges already brought, they face up to 10 years in prison.

I wonder if this will get as much play on Fox as the ACORN story.
