Pro-life group admits to heavily edited hoax video at Planned Parenthood...
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 04:32 PM by cynatnite
AFTER reports to the FBI

Today, anti-abortion rights propagandist Lila Rose released her latest in a series of heavily edited videos seeking to demonstrate that Planned Parenthood engages in criminal activities. Rose's organization, Live Action, claims their video exposes what they call "Planned Parenthood's cover-up of child sex trafficking."

Except that isn't what the video shows at all.

Rather, the Live Action video shows edited comments made by a single Planned Parenthood employee. Live Action has so far refused to publicly release the full video of the incident, instead posting what the organization itself admits is an "abridged 11-minute video." (Live Action claims they are "sending full footage" to law enforcement officials.)

2. I wish you could sue people for wasting media time with such crap.
For example, that guy with the Acorn fraud should otherwise be in jail...

This group and whoever did this video should be given a similar penalty for fraud.

3. They are already busted...why bother going through with this?
Planned Parenthood is onto them and notified the FBI.

4. Better come up with a new trick, ponies
The libruls seem to have figured this one out. It cost us ACORN, though. Let's not let that sacrifice be wasted. I'm hoping that Lila Rose gets to spend a few weeks doing community service, or better yet, spend some quality time in the Graybar Hotel for this little prank, which is no prank at all.
