ACORN videos get Planned Parenthood videos second look
James O’Keefe sent me a link to the following New York Post story, up on Drudge right now, with this note:
Millions and millions are reading about the Planned Parenthood videos Lila and I did. What serendipity.
Indeed. Here’s an excerpt, with an accompanying video…
The 2 conservative activists who captured ACORN employees giving advice on the sex trade and money-laundering only play a pimp and prostitute on video.
In real life, Hannah Giles, 20, isn’t a lady of the night. She’s a minister’s daughter studying journalism at FL International University.
And James E. O’Keefe III, 25, a Fordham MBA student from NJ, isn’t a pimp so much as a prvocateur — determined to expose what he sees as the hypocrisies and moral lapses of liberals by employing their own tactics against them.
The pair met last year on Facebook after O’Keefe posted his own gotcha videos, showing Planned Parenthood employees agreeing to his request to earmark his donations for the abortions of African-American babies….

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
This is wonderful. It seems that good is triumphing over evil. As Christians we ultimately know that we will win.
Hopefully it will be a ‘first look’ for enough people out of the PL loop to be outraged that their $ goes to PP. Good time for Blood Money to come out.
Questions for Jill:
Have you been in correspondence with James prior to this ACORN festival? Was he a lurker on the blog? Did you contact him after the PP bust with Lila?
If you prefer not to disclose, I understand.
What this actually represents to me is a small but effective effort to prevent “indecency” from becoming official US Government policy. Sadly, these things would never have come to light if we had depended on our present US Government to ferret them out. They would have festered for years, and REAL “underage girls from El Salvador” would have been pimped out on the streets of our cities. All paid for, of course, by our taxes.
Thank you James and Hannah. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Be brave and courageous in the fight!! Praying for you both!!

If bad things like that were done, I too would hold a grudge. Instead, we’re getting good leadership and the future looks bright indeed.
Hal, I like you, but you’re beginning to sound like a fortune cookie. Lots of nice phrases that sound good, but with no truth behind them.
Why no comment about ACORN, Hal?
Obama has supported them for years.
Obama once made a televised speech at ACORN telling their workers that “ACORN will pave the way for his administrations political agenda”.
Obama (the leader who promised no earmarks) earmarked 8.5 Billion dollars of the bailout money (our tax dollars) to go to ACORN.
O’Keefe and Giles deserve the Pulitzer more than any reporter in the past decade.
Hal can’t take his rose colored glass off, they are glued to his face.
I don’t see any legitimate reason to use this ACORN controversy to tar Obama. However, it does reflect very badly on ACORN.
I was never in ACORN’s “camp” and see no reason to defend them here or anywhere else.
Hal, I think I gave you a couple of very legitimate reasons to connect ACORN to Obama.

HAL,
I am not holding a grudge, but you might be if it were your 13 old daughter who were being pimped out.
You have got to put that Obama crack pipe down and walk away. We here for you. But you have to take the first step.
The crimes that ACORN personel were not only willing to overlook, but to help conceal, were kidnapping, child rape, prostitution, smuggling, theft, income tax evasion and some of the personel even offerred unsolicited advice to keep the 13 year old sex slaves in line by the use of physical violence and one can only presume that drugs were a part of the overall package.
Yes indeedy we are things are looking brite (If you are not a 13 year kidnapped and sold into sex slavery) and the ACORN personel did have the effective leadership skills of community organizer and serial liar Barrak Obama.
This aint uncle Jerry Wright and granny Dunham were talkin bout here. These folks don’t deserve to be thrown under bus. They deserve to be buried under it.
What in the hell is ‘the cops acted stupidly’ Obama waiting for. Take center stage and at least condemn the systemic corruption if not the organization that fostered it.

Interesting how ACORN is aghast at the “tactics” the journalists used to catch its employees involving themselves in a crime; seems like the same “tactics” used in the To Catch A Predator stings shown frequently on one of our of major news networks and no one cared about that…
