On the ACORN front:

I caught up with Hannah Giles, co-star of the ACORN sting videos, after she accepted one of 10 “Buckley Awards” handed out in the XPAC lounge for young conservative leaders.

. . .

“We never claimed that he went in with a pimp costume,” said Giles. “That was b-roll. It was purely b-roll. He was a pimp, I was a prostitute, and we were walking in front of government buildings to show how the government was whoring out the American people.”

(Hannah Giles Explains Those Pimp and Prostitute Outfits, The Washington Independent, 02/19/10, with special thanks to The Brad Blog for the pointer)

Of course this forthright admission on the part of Ms. Giles is directly counter to the “reporting” of many major “news” outlets. I’m talking about lies that claimed the (so heavily cut that they were not anywhere close to the truth) tapes showed the duo of Giles and O’Keefe wearing pimp and prostitute outfits into the ACORN offices.

These were the same lies that our own federal representative weasel welch used to join the radical right wing of Amercian politics in an attack against a group, ACORN, who’s sole crime has been to fight for the economic and political power of our nation’s lower economic classes.

HEY WEASEL WELCH … you owe the good, honest, hard working folks of ACORN a loud and public apology.

And then you have to explain why you, a supposed one-time prosecutor, would rely on lies and misdirections in assigning guilt to a party … or should I ask how many people you fraudulently imprisoned in your time as a faux prosecutor?

Did I say thanks, weasel welch?
