Guess it is hard for some to admit being wrong then.

Or they can smear acorn for union busting and refusing to pay minimum
wage.

The "Gray Lady" finally admits to the error:

Too late for ACORN, since the damage is mostly done.

Liberal mainstream media my ass.

I saw the tapes.
You can project 'racism' into whatever you wish; I didn't
see that.

You made your point, I disagree but I'm out. Let's move on.

The full, unedited tapes, or the edited tape that made it falsely appear
that O'Keefe showed up at an ACORN office in a pimp's costume, when he
was actually respectably dressed?

P.S. James O'Keefe was later arrested after an alleged attempt to bug
the office of Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu's office in New Orleans.

Bull****, Andrew. If this had been a left-wing media smear against some
conservative group you (and most of the right wing) would be screaming
from the rooftops at the reveal. But with the shoe on the other foot,
it's the usual sweep-it-under-the-rug deal favored by the conservative
end to hide it's moral bankruptcy, lies and media distortions.

That's the problem with the right wing. They talk a good line but their
actions belie their evil. Not that the right wing gives a damn- they
only concern is to destroy the left by whatever means necessary. It's
about power, not about what's good for the nation.

And when the fascists further consolidate power, they will NOT be
looking out for small businesses such as independent bike shops.

Gee, Liddell Tommi, you're the one who should be apologizing, and not
just once, not just twice. but thrice.

First, you should apologize for your hypocrisy. If that film was made
by the left you would be the first to say that a drematized
presentation is legitimate in politics as in entertainment.

Secondly, you should apologize to us for trying to lie to us by
omission. You're deliberately leaving out the fact that the words
spoken were the words spoken, as recorded, as played back on the film.
It is the words spoken that condemned the ACORN people, not the play-
acting dressing-up.

Thirdly, Liddell Tommi, you should apologize to us for insulting our
intelligence by claiming that someone dressing up as a pimp is a
racial stereotype, and the further insult to our intelligence of
trying to make out that it is racism. Why, I once told an Englishman,
who'd just returned from a stint in Hong Kong and was wearing a black
silk shirt and white tie, "If you're meeting with me, choose another
day to dress like a pimp." Does that make me anti-British? Does that
accuse all Brits of living off the immoral earnings of women? Of
course it doesn't, and it would be an equal insult to our intelligence
to pretend that it does.

You've fallen off your leaf again, Liddell Tommi. Start swimming now.
