From the Washington Post:
Two undercover videographers released another videotape Wednesday of their interaction with an ACORN worker, contending that it reveals help they received from the community group’s Philadelphia office when they posed as a pimp and a prostitute seeking a home.
Unlike previous videotapes, the heavily edited footage includes audio of the two conservatives but none of the ACORN Housing Corp. worker’s responses to their questions.
But James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles said the tape rebuts statements by an ACORN official that a worker from its housing affiliate, Katherine Conway-Russell, had quickly kicked them out. “ACORN has lied every step of the way,” said Andrew Breitbart, whose conservative Web site, Big Government, has featured the pair’s videos from other cities.
Federal funding for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has been frozen in the weeks since videos were released showing its workers in several cities giving tax and housing advice to the pair, who had asked about setting up brothels with young girls from El Salvador.
ACORN and its affiliates also face several federal investigations, accusations of voter registration fraud and an indictment on charges of violating election law in Nevada, all of which stem from previous unrelated incidents. The Louisiana attorney general is investigating an embezzlement a decade ago that was allegedly covered up by the group’s founder.
