Police report filed by ACORN exposes false claims by individuals behind videos

[democracy1st]

In recent days, Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, the conservative filmmakers who made the widely circulated ACORN videos, as well as Andrew Breitbart and Mike Flynn, who have been promoting the videos for BigGovernment.com, have claimed that the filmmakers were never rebuffed by any of the ACORN offices they visited in their attempts to get ACORN to assist them in improper activities. However, in a newly released video, ACORN Housing Corp.'s Katherine Conway Russell directly rebuts those claims, citing a police report ACORN filed as evidence that she asked the filmmakers to leave the ACORN office in Philadelphia and called the police after the filmmakers asked suspicious questions.

2. Seems like there should be at least five reports...

one from each office this was tried at.

Coming up with.... "Hey, look, we caught on once" doesn't really help the case.

as their "evidence" of corruption, then one example of the conservatives lying about their success in attaining said corruption should blow their credibility out of the water ...
