In the footage, workers at various ACORN offices advise Giles to list her
occupation on financial documents as "freelancer,""performance artist" or
"entertainer" instead of prostitute, offer tips on how to claim the underage
girls - who were to be trafficked in from Central America - as dependents on her
tax return, and give their opinion on the best place to illegally cross the
U.S.-Mexico border.
While the media has been forced to cover the story, they seem to be overly concerned that the pair had recieved funding from a larger conservative organization or Fox News. Who cares? I think that since the left cannot defend the responses in the videos, they need to distract from the story. While the pair claim to have done the reporting on their own, it doesn't matter. Would ACORN's response be less reprehensible if they did?
Woodward and Bernstein's investigation into Watergate is legendary, but they got full backing from the Washington Post. Why should O'Keefe and Giles be any different?
