Rachel Maddow details the **unedited** ACORN "pimp & hoe" tape! (pt 1/2)

Part 1 of a 2-part segment.

Rachel details the newly-released unedited version of Sean O'Keef's video tape-- which was initially used to depict the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) as assisting a pimp and his accompanying prostituted in human trafficking-- to show that that... wasn't... quite... how it happened!

"Is there any record of Mr. Vera calling "his cousin"?"

Yes. He called the station line, not a personal one.

"Why not go straight for 9-11"

He asked him for advice on who to give the info to, and where it'd have jurisdiction.

"AN IMMIDIATE RESPONSE? Bad english?"

Well, considering that you can't seem to spell "immediate," are you really in a position to be lampooning the possibility of "bad English," as you put it? Hmm...

[Hissyspit]

Hey. Dumbass. There was no child prostitution ring. O'Keefe doctored the videos. Brietbart admitted to lying. GAO cleared ACORN in report to Congress. Massachusetts former DA cleared ACORN. ACORN cleared of any wrongdoing in California.

It was all a Karl Rove-type right-wing SCAM. As the video says, the tapes, which O'Keefe refused to make available, were HIGHLY doctored. Voter fraud NEVER a serious issue, just a Fox News propaganda tool. Go get a brain.

[ImmortalSynn]

"The rest is left wing spin"

That the courts just happened to be inclined to believe... or do you think O'Keefe's lawyers agreed to a six figure settlement because their case (independent of the crime involved in creating it) was rock-solid? :-/

[JRCKFSH]

Yeah he called the police.

Juan Carlos Vera called officer Pedro Jesus Vera.

LOL

Acorn didn't buy that shit either. Oh yeah he called him alright.

Did you hear Mr Vera on the Ed show?

His English has gotten much worse since the Acorn vids. That's interesting.

Acorn is out of business. Vera was fired by Acorn.

The rest is left wing spin

[TheSanguineOne]

Mr. Vera did not dismiss the couple's intentions; therefore, he did the wrong thing.

[TheHotMedusa]

Now my question is this: What pimp dressed like that in 2010? If this clown walked around dressed like that in "the hood," or anywhere for that matter, he would get his narrow, white-ass beat up. If it wasn't so funny and he didn't look so ridiculous, it would be insulting; which to some people, it probably was...smdh

[ImmortalSynn]

"so why did they fire vera?"

Here's a better question:

you believe an organization is going to do due diligence on an accused, facing unverified but highly convincing circumstantial evidence, under the presumption of total innocence-until-proven-guilty, in the face of social/media scrutiny? Really?

Hmm, cite me a few examples of that happening in any other company or organization. I'd certainly be interested to see.

[ImmortalSynn]

"which resulted in the democratically controlled congress defunding acorn and putting them out of business."

Wait, hold on, you're using THAT as a standard? The most spineless convictionless organization on Earth (the US Democrat[ic] Party) caving to pressure, to deflect blame???

...wowww.

[JRCKFSH]

so why did they fire vera?

the cops backed his story.

hmmm?

that's the gap in logic you cannot bridge.

[JRCKFSH]

wrongful termination? ok

this was a national story of corruption which resulted in the democratically controlled congress defunding acorn and putting them out of business.

and instead of holding vera up as the poster child of acorn doing the right thing, they fire him.

i don't believe vera did the right thing for one second. Acorn didn't believe him.

if that's your story, have good life.

let me know how the lawsuit is coming.

and let me know when the effort to fund acorn comes back.

[ImmortalSynn]

"it doesn't make any sense the Acorn wouldn't hold him up as proof they did nothing wrong?"

Which should PROBABLY be your first clue that the shit didn't go down like that, lol. Hell, I knew about this the same week. Apparently, so did Maddow. I remember Erica Hill talking about it too. Where were you?

[JRCKFSH]

you did not. You showed me any evidence vera called the cops?

Bullshit. you posted a link with nothing to do with vera

Acorn's whole existence was on the line here. They had proof he did nothing wrong and the tape was a fraud, and they didn't use this to save themselves? they just fired the guy?

i will admit there is a chance he called the cops to report them. don't you see how that it doesn't make any sense the Acorn wouldn't hold him up as proof they did nothing wrong?
