Independent report finds Acorn did nothing illegal

Notable quote:
The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O'Keefe's and Ms. Giles's comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.

Oh, I see. On these you left-click for the embed code, on you-tube I right-click. for some reason though I've been having problems getting the video to actually embed on this site. It may be my browser.

I actually never had any trouble with the embed codes until I tried embedding that Rick Sanchez video, where I had the same problem you are describing. I don't think I did anything different, it just didn't work that time. I copied it from the "share" button just like always, but it just showed the code once I posted it. That's why I ended up linking the video.

Maybe it's a glitch or something, I don't know.

EDIT: On a hunch I just went back and tried it again except I switched to html mode and it worked (I clicked "edit discussion" on the right, then clicked over from the default "Rich Text" tab to the "HTML" tab above the edit field). It seems you can only do that if you are actually starting the topic, so I don't know how that would help if you are replying to a thread.

I'll try that. I also sometimes have trouble getting it to copy my links. They show uo but when I post my discussion they aren't there. I use chrome, but I can switch to firefox and copy them. It used to work on chrome though.

And from the office of the California Attorney General:

Brown Releases Report Detailing a Litany of Problems with ACORN, But No Criminality

First thing this brings to mind is the whole Dan Rather/CBS/Bush military service 'scandal' and the uproard and righteous indignation that gushed from 'conservatives' demanding resignations and litigations. It was all about responsible journalism and how Rather had 'soiled' the reputation of an industry and purposely put out false information to discredit the President. Think we will see this same sanctimonious outrage in defense of unbiased and responsible journalism this case? Do you think the same people who howled for Rather's resignation then will now demand the resignation of ANY Fox News personality that pushed (with much zeal I might add) false information -specifically- to discredit the President? Fat chance of that. I've not seen anything yet but I expect Fox News and it's tea(scum)bagger moonies will be defending O'Keefe and finding some way to use this as yet another example of how the tea(scum)baggers are so picked on.

I think you meant to post this video:

Yeah, not sure what happened.

And today we see that the GAO has vindicated ACORN.

Holy shit.
Do any of you dumb fucks read anything outside of Arrianna Huffington?
This chick is one of a handful that I can personally attest to marrying a flaming homosexual for little more than monetary reasons.
This chick, boasting to be a "Sierra Club" member, travels in private jets, stretched limos, police escorted SUV's, but insists that you peddle a bicycle to save the environment?
Seriously, if you believe this bull shit, then you probably believe that Al wasn't fuckin' around on tipper.
Libtards.
Serve the bullshit with a side of ideology and a half portion of contempt for the right, they'll eat what you've served with a spoon and ask ya for seconds.
"Freethinkers"?
That's like asking a crackhore if she'll take a check.
Dipshits galore.
Go fuck yourselves.

appear to have been edited

Thanks for that, but the videos in question are complete for viewing.
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, as libtards will attest.
In the mean time, you have a reason as to why Acorn, a taxpayer funded operation, would assist a pimp and prostitute receiving and housing underage children in order to sell them as sex slaves?
Look forward to hearing your explantion.

But thats the point, they didn't. Its called creative editing. You know , you dub in the part where you say your a pimp etc. Also you don't see them wearing the pimp costume in the offices. You learn how to do this stuff in filmmaking 101. I spotted it the second I watched the videos. Fox News watchers are some gullible idiots.
