It was interesting to hear that Maryland is going after the 2 instead of going after the grime.
Reading the article linked below and at the end of it: "There do not appear to have been complaints about Acorn’s tax preparation efforts before the recent videos." What a bright statement. Why would anyone making an honest effort to screw the government squeal on themselves and ACORN. Really now. Brilliant.
Another quote:
"The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, has faced a deluge of criticism after a series of videos from hidden cameras caught staff members giving advice about tax evasion, human smuggling and child prostitution to James E. O’Keefe III and a partner, who were wearing disguises. Acorn announced it would sue Mr. O’Keefe and others involved in the video on Thursday in Maryland District Court, charging that he recorded the staff members without their consent, which is illegal." Guess the networks need to yell at the top of their microphones that they also wanna be sued for what little investigative reporting the do/have done. At one time didn't CBS really get in on this lovely activity? At one time didn't CBS push doors down, tape without permission, tape with hidden devicies and cram microphones/cameras in the face? Really now.
