Who do you think will win the ACORN fake video lawsuit?

April 3rd, 2011

One of the many victims of Andrew Breitbart’s ACORN video hoax has filed suit against pseudo-pimp James O’Keefe and pseudo-ho Hannah Giles. Former San Diego ACORN office employee Juan Carlos Vera, who was falsely portrayed in a heavily edited videotape as conspiring with O’Keefe and Giles to traffic underage girls across the Mexican border, is suing both of the right-wing filmmakers, seeking ,000 in damages under California’s privacy statutes.

Filed last week in the U.S. District Court in San Diego, Vera’s complaint claims that O’Keefe, Giles and up to 20 unnamed parties violated his "reasonable expectation of privacy" by conspiring to secretly videotape him and then posting the tapes on the Internet without his consent, causing him to lose his job and other damages.

The notorious tape featuring Vera — with his friendly smile and hesitant English — was aired repeatedly on Fox News and cited as proof of the most incendiary charge against ACORN by conservative Web impresario Breitbart: namely, that the anti-poverty organization was in fact a criminal conspiracy to promote teenage prostitution.

But as California Attorney General Jerry Brown discovered when he investigated the ACORN matter last spring, the actual meaning of the Vera tape was severely distorted by dishonest editing to suggest that he had agreed to help smuggle young girls for O’Keefe’s mythical brothel. To obtain unedited versions of the tapes from O’Keefe, Brown gave him and Giles immunity from any criminal prosecution under the state privacy statutes.

What really happened in the San Diego ACORN office, as Fox News and many other outlets neglected to report, was that immediately after O’Keefe and Giles departed, Vera called a cousin who is a detective in the National City Police Department to report the planned crime. Police detectives later confirmed Vera’s effort to local news outlets and to the California attorney general’s office. When Vera learned that O’Keefe and Giles were hoaxing him, he again called the police, who terminated their investigation.

"The evidence illustrates," said Brown when he released his report last April, "that things are not always as partisan zealots portray them through highly selective editing of reality. Sometimes a fuller truth is found on the cutting-room floor." And soon that fuller truth may be weighed in the halls of justice.

Is Harry Reid no longer any help for immigration reform 10,000 tea partiers vs 100 Reid supporters?

March 28th, 2011

After more than 10,000 tea partiers descended on Sen. Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight, Nev., to demand an end to the Senate majority leader’s term in one of the largest political events in town history, Reid launched his re-election campaign – in front of a paltry crowd of 100 supporters.

On March 27, tea partiers flocked from cities all over the nation to the small town of Searchlight, with a population of only 800. Crowd estimates at the "Conservative Woodstock" ranged from 10,000 to 30,000.
The event featured Gov. Sarah Palin and a host of other guests, including 2008 libertarian vice presidential candidate Wayne Allyn Root, WND columnists Roger Hedgecock and Melanie Morgan, Joe the Plumber, commentator Andrew Breitbart and former "Saturday Night Live" regular Victoria Jackson.

The following are photos of the massive rally taken by the non-profit group American Border Patrol: Just more than a week after taxpayers stormed Searchlight, Reid launched his re-election campaign near the tea-party site.

Barack Obama condescends to them and to Nancy Pelosi, they’re "Nazis." This reveals what the tea partiers really are!

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Reid was cheered on by more than 100 close supporters.

The Tea Party Express issued a release Monday headlined, "Harry Reid humiliated in ‘hometown.’"

"We did it folks," Tea Party Express spokesman Sal Russo declared in the memo. "We stood up to the corrupt Senate Majority Leader and we showed the power of We the People."

Reid can be seen addressing his supporters and taking a few jabs at Palin in the following video posted by Fox News:

Later, when Las Vegas Review-Journal reporters asked Reid what he thought of the 10,000 tea partiers who converged on Searchlight calling for his defeat, Reid said he understands anger at government and Washington during an economic recession. However, he said he was confused about what tea partiers mean when they cite the Constitution and call for liberty, freedom and limited federal government.

"The people who are really upset don’t really know why they’re upset," Reid told the newspaper. "What do they mean?"

Fox News reported Reid canceled a scheduled appearance at a Mormon church Sunday because protesters threatened to show up.

Will Breitbart, O'Keefe and Giles come clean about the ACORN pimp hoax?

March 18th, 2011

James O’Keefe never wore his crazy hustler outfit to meet with community organizers. Instead, the ’70s-style blaxploitation pimp costume O’Keefe helped make famous was a propaganda tool used after the fact to deceive the public about the undercover operation.

Yet in the very infancy of the ACORN scandal, Fox News was peddling a false story about O’Keefe’s pimp costume, a false story that quickly morphed into accepted fact. (Eventually, after an avalanche of repetition, didn’t pretty much everyone believe O’Keefe was decked out as a pimp?)

It quickly morphed into fact because the lead propagandists helped to spread the tall tale. And now they won’t come clean about their role.

For instance, during that September 12 broadcast, Giles said nothing to set the record straight. That night, she sat and listened to Gutfeld tell the phony pimp story, and she became complicit in the lie. Obviously, Giles knew her undercover pal didn’t look like he just came from a costume party when he walked into ACORN outposts with his undercover camera. But on Fox News, when Gutfeld spread that tale, Giles did nothing to correct the record.

Soon, her undercover cohort joined in the misinformation campaign. Two days later, O’Keefe appeared on Fox & Friends decked out as a pimp. Host Steve Doocy announced that O’Keefe was "dressed exactly in the same outfit that he wore to these ACORN offices up and down the Eastern Seaboard."

O’Keefe made no effort to correct Doocy’s falsehood.

Is Andrew Breitbart is a media genius?

August 24th, 2010

Andrew Breitbart is a media genius.

He proved it originally with his brilliant handling of the ACORN ‘hooker’ scandal which
he skillfully manipulated so that the corrupt media was forced, against its will, to
broadcast corruption in one of Obama’s most powerful political support groups. But
Breitbart’s handing of that affair is nothing compared to his brilliant manipulation of
the Shirley Sherrod ‘white farmer’ scandal.

It all began last Monday, July 22, 2010. As the country watched in horror, Breitbart
released a snippet of a tape on his "Big Government" site which showed an
obscure black female official of the Dept. of Agriculture laughing to a roomful of NAACP
members about how she’d discriminated against a destitute white farmer and refused to
give him the financial aid he desperately needed. As she smirked to the room, she’d sent
him instead to a white lawyer – ‘one of his own kind’ – for help. The black woman was
Shirley Sherrod – and almost immediately she became the center of a firestorm of
controversy which exploded throughout the country. Within a day of the release of that
infamous tape, the head of the Dept. of Agriculture, spurred on by Obama, demanded – and
received – Sherrod’s resignation. Breitbart had won.

But then seemingly Breitbart’s actions began to explode in his face. As Sherrod screamed
in protest, FOX News released the entire text of her speech last March to the NAACP. And
there on tape Sherrod was shown supposedly repenting of her racism against a white farmer
and instead championing his fight to win funds to keep his farm afloat. Within hours of
that entire tape being revealed, the entire world turned against Andrew Breitbart.
Conservatives throughout the country were enraged that he’d endangered their reputations
by releasing a ‘doctored’ tape. Breitbart, they thundered, had dealt a fatal blow to the
conservative media. I confess that I also was horrified at what I saw as the clumsiness
and stupidity of Breitbart in ‘doctoring’ a tape to make a supposedly innocent woman look
guilty. But now I discover I have been as guilty of haste to judgment of Breitbart as
the Dept. of Agriculture was of Ms. Sherrod.

Only now am I realizing the real purpose for Breitbart’s release of that tape snippet.
It was to allow him to cunningly trick the media into exposing one of the most shocking
examples of corruption in the federal government – a little known legal case called
"Pigford v. Glickman".

http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/27/pigford-v-glickman-86000-claims-from-39697-total

-farmers/?singlepage=true

"In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of
Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial
discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997." The case was entitled "Pigford
v. Glickman" and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed
to pay each of them as much as ,000 to settle their claims.

But then on February 23 of this year, something shocking happened in relation to that
original judgment. In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to
"Pigford". The amount was a staggering .25 billion. This was because the
original number of plaintiffs – 400 black farmers – had now swollen in a class action
suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America.

There was only one teensy problem. The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000
black farmers. According to accurate and totally verified census data, the total number
of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Oops.

Well, gosh – how on earth did 39,697 explode into 86,000 claims? And how did ,000
explode into .25 billion? Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only
spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the "Rural Development
Leadership Network" but whose family received the highest single payout
(approximately million) from that action – Shirley Sherrod. Oops again.

http://beforeitsnews.com/story/110/024/Is_There_More_to_Sherrods_Dismissal.html

Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the
perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States – a fraud enabled
solely because she screamed racism at the government and cowed them into submission. And
it gets even more interesting. Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and
abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of "Pigford
v. Glickman" in 1999 only applied to a total of 16,000 black farmers. But in 2008,
a junior Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allo

Fox News/Breitbart fans, please justify this?

August 23rd, 2010

About this Sherrod thing.

Ok, there are a lot of different angles to this story, the NAACP, Obama’s response, the speech itself. But there is one angle which I feel has been painfully under reported. Andrew Breitbart is an influential Internet reporter, and in this case, perhaps others, he didn’t bother to check his sources. I’ve never taken a journalism class in my life and I think that’s pathetic. It’s like a doctor not washing his hands before surgery. It’s an embarrassment to journalism ethics.

And yet Fox only mentions this in passing, and his only appearance on Fox was on Hannity! HANNITY. For God’s sake, if he showed up on O’Reily he would have gotten drilled to the wall on this issue, but he picked the one host who would look past his complete and utter failure as a journalist. You can see it all in a video entitled "Andrew Breitbart Defends Sherrod story" It’s found right next to the video called "NAACP Race Card Fraud"

Now I’ve heard the reason that Brietbart didn’t have the time. But how could he not have the time to fact check a video that is years old? That makes no sense to me. Nor can I understand why a network that prides itself on being fair and balanced, and according to O’Reily is as a result increasing viewership completely ignore this angel to the Sherrod story. Could somebody explain this to me.
