ACORN Video: Prostitution Scandal in Philadelphia, PA Part I
by James O'Keefe*UPDATE Below*
Alinsky Rule #1: “Power isn’t only what you have, it’s what the enemy thinks you have.”
Now that ACORN lied to you, Media Matters, what are you going to do?
**UPDATE 2:24 PM EST** We muted the audio of the ACORN employees on the video released today due to ACORN’s legal attack upon us. We call upon ACORN to state publicly now that it has no objection to the public release of any its employees oral statements to us. If they are interested in the truth, why wouldn’t they do so?

Whoopsie!!!! HEH HEH HEH
It is like TV serial…can't wait for the next episode.
Media Matters needs to be exposed just as much as ACORN has been exposed. Podesta is an enemy of the state.
Brilliant strategy.
BTW, buy my portrait of S.E. Cupp on Ebay; a portion of the selling price goes to the Hannah Giles defense fund:

Outstanding. I think a lot of folks saw this coming – including Bertha Lewis. The fact that the Philly office was in the lead-in videos couldn't have escaped her.
I have seen that the reaction to this by those who wish to silence sound journalism is to turn the attention away from your remarkable work toward Fox News. References and allusions that your efforts were in some way subsidized by an "entertainment" network are flatly ridiculous and a mockery of the 1st Amendment and the institution that is the Press. I am glad that you released this video to once again shed light on this organization's scandalous and criminal actions and to finally bring an end to discussions that you were turned away in Philadelphia. Very well done.

why can i not hear the audio from Catherine?
Breitbart for President!!!
ACORN.
It is so nice to see that you were so accomodating to these to young entrepeneurs. Isn't America great! Nothing like giving kids a hand up, instead of a hand out.
Viva la Revolution!
I wonder what Bertha Lewis is going to babble about today?
Because O'Keefe is setting a trap for the media. It is genius.
It's nice to know that another of these thieves, crooks, and hustlers will be losing her job too. There should be NO gov't funding of ANY not-for-profit, EVER.
where is the unedited tape? and why is audio missing? I know they are telling the truth but this video looks more suspicious than true with missing audio
excellent…..great work…….hope you have 10 more coming down the pike….this is a brilliant strategy…just piece out a little at a time to keep us coming back, never give it all away, just like a "real prostitute"….can't wait for the next trick….so to speak. AWESOME!
someday, i would really like to be that smart….sheer genius!
Keep up the pressure on the media!!! Brilliant move Breitbart!
I'm completely gobsmacked by why people who know they've been caught on video lie about what they
said. What are they trying to accomplish?
It's the cover-up, people.
Good job, H, J and A!
well hurry up! I want more!
Come over to my house everyone…I have tons of popcorn for the latest "Hannah & James Show".
I've been following this story for 3 hours now…vids taken down at the "Tube" and put back up again. *Check*
Sites crashing. *Check*
Libtards heads exploding. *Check*.
*Munch-Munch-Munching*.
Not Over.
Shouldn't that be "Ho, ho, ho?"
[...] to Ace, Big Government and especially Hanna & [...]
Is Media Matters as corrupt as ACORN?
I would be interested to know WHO was the police officer that took the report? And WHEN it was taken?? Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Keep them coming…….The liars at Media Mutters needs to have their face rubbed in this poop!!
Now we see how corrupt the traditional media really is.
MSNBC, Philly News and all the others are scabby whores of the radical left.

[...] It’s a sampler, not the full video/audio. About which I’ll speak more of, after Part II. [...]
The facts surrounding Media Matters, the facts surrounding the MSM: NBC,ABC,CBS,CNN and MSNBC, and the facts surrounding the print media: the New York Times, the Washington Post and others show that the Fourth Estate has intentionally sat docile, while the Obama Admistration has continued to pat them on the head like a lapdog. As they have abdicated their collective responsibility, sat idly by and wagged their tail, they in effect have been complicit in the furtherance of the CRIMINAL enterprise of ACORN.
I have asked this from day one. WHERE IS THE FBI?
Keep on diggin' Bertha. Gonna need a big grave for ACORN. lmfao I believe it is safe to say, those pesky kids and Brietbart are deep inside ACORN's OODA loop.
For those who may not know what the OODA loop is, a couple of links.

This is a teaser. They are wanting the MSN to discredit it then they will show the full blown video!
Sweet… Because of Pennsylvania wiretapping laws they need to blank out the audio… However they could ask permission from Mrs. Russell to "Clear up any misconceptions" about what happened and allow the audio to be played. If Mrs. Russell/ Acorn doesn't allow it she and Acorn looks bad.
Bertha Lewis.
Here is a bit of sage advice: When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging…………….
These guys are good. They have ACORN more nervous than a cat in a room full of rockers, their tail is going to get rocked no matter which way they turn.
I think we all should call Media Matters, and tell them they need to tell the truth once in a while. (202) 756-4100
Alinsy Rule #1: “Power isn’t only what you have, it’s what the enemy thinks you have.”
What do you have? I guess I'll stayed tuned.
Dad,
Do ya reckon Olbermans head will keep swelling until it explodes?
AHAHAHAHAHA Hallelujah!! God Bless O'Keefe!! I love how he's setting up the Leftist-media by leaving her voice out…FOR NOW!! And this coming out just as we all learn that ACORN funding WILL RESUME at midnight of Oct. 31…maybe now it won't…
tehehe, it's like Christmas morning!!!
Beautiful … lay the line out there, jiggle it a bit, pretty soon now …
The reason you can’t hear Catherine, or the front desk person is probably because they’re under a gag order, and can’t use her words as said in their video. Only the “official” release that ACORN put out.
That’s my guess anyways.
It is clear now MSM is just an arm of the Politburo led by Obama. Beck was right to demonstrate with "Press" just how toothless journalism is now, how people like Anderson Cooper, who coined "teabagger" is exactly that kind of person, bending over and taking it up the backside with whatever Obama politburo member who struts into his office…
If you go to the link provided below the video above, it takes you to the Media Matters page where they were (probably willingly) duped by the Philly ACORN office.
Guess what…now that the TRUTH broke on the LYING Philly ACORN office…COMMENTS ON THE MEDIA MATTERS WEBSITE FOR THE LINKED ARTICLE HAVE BEEN DISABLED.
Imagine that…liberals silencing the TRUTH, while letting outright lies remain on their website.
Hello!?? What part of "Part 1" don't you understand? Review the brilliant way the other tapes were split into parts with the full unedited stuff coming last.
I have to ask about the Police Report, too. I'm a supporter of O'Keefe and Giles, but either it's legit or it isn't, and this story does nothing to explain how it fits in the overall story. Did the ACORN rep. realize what she had done and call police to cover her butt ex post facto?
excellent great work

Great question.
Enemy of the state, Arent you an enemy of the state if your against an overbearing govt.? The title of libertarian murray rothbards book is Enemy of the State
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! APORN tools. Defund ACORN and all of it's affiliates NOW.
This is turning into a soap opera. ACORN is trashed, they just don't know how badly, yet.
Their political buddies are playing right into the hands of their adversaries every time they turn around to defend these criminals.
A little political advice for the Dems; Cut and run. Even with ACORN's recent name change, theres not much hope left for New York's largest slum Lord… (Google it, my pretties)
False "Left" liberals are starting to smell like dead fish left out in the Sun.
Why are liberal women always so doggone homely?
You guys are my heroes! Wat is that song playing at the end of the video? It is perfect! I have to download it so I can listen to it and get a good laugh thinking of ACORN, LOL!
Awesome. Acorn needs to drop their ridiculous lawsuit in Maryland before they get sued for defamation.
I'm so glad you guys are back. Please give us more!!!!! Can't wait to see how Bertha explains her way out of this one. Do you think she's dumb enough to say because there's not much audio that James is still lying???

Hear that "hissing" sound do you Cowboy?
It's the sound of the over inflated ego of the "WON" slowly leaking out of the dozens of teeny tiny pin holes poked in his head by a 20 year old “Ho” and her 23 year old “pip” boyfriend.
In my 60 years on mud ball earth I have never eatin’ such delicious popcorn…heh.
Not Over.

Man, I'm going to need a Federal bailout just to pay for all the popcorn I'll need.
You make a very good point. I even have a problem with the fact that the date and time may be in question. It may be all legitimate, but attention to detail matters.
It's good to see that investigative journalism hasn't died out completely.It's also good to know that they're still young people out there that care enough about this country to expose the real evil of organizations like Acorn.This type of honest reporting marginalizes outfits like Media Matters to the fringes of society where they belong.
The genius of O'Keefe and Giles is knowing just when to release these videos to not only show what consumate lyers all of the Acorn people are but to completely ridicule the Lame St.Media.To bad this wasn't going on during the presidential campains because if it were we wouldn't be watching Obama and the Democrats blazing a path of destruction through this country.
I'm sure that Obama and his socialist democrats in congress are having pleasant dreams at night.
Oh Hell… There goes the commi neighborhood.
Guess Katherine will be going buh bye now.
Bertha Lewis should do the same.
"… why people who know they've been caught on video lie about what they said."
It's the "Big Lie" principle, Sal. Perception is reality for an awful lot of people. (Case in point: the 2008 election.)
Game set and match…. Strategem: let them protest, howl and cavil, make erroneous statements, make sure it has permeated the press, and become a "meme" as in, "They were thrown out but didn't show THAT! Racists!" Then when they feel triumphant CLOBBER them.
It is clear to me why this wasn't in the original five. I have a feeling Breitbart knew that this would be close to the most damning one of all… if released in the right time. Further, the audio/video issue would've weakened it somewhat then, but not now.
I'm at the point now that whenever I hear any leftist tossing out accusations, I immediately arrive at the conclusion that they are guilty of the accusations they are tossing. In fact, when hearing a leftist make a simple statement on just about anything, I immediately conclude the opposite of what he/she said is true. I find myself being less surprised and shocked when the truth actually does come out.
Great stuff, keep it up! On a different note, doesn't O'Keefe sound a bit like Matthew Broderick/Ferris Bueller?
Probably because they're already dealing with one lawsuit. Might have to check the laws in Philly.
Just a guess, but I think they may be not airing the audio to avoid a wiretaping charge/lawsuit like Acorn has filed in other states. But they also may be setting a trap for them so that the Philly office will be called out by the media to allow the audio/video to be released while waiving any lawsuit. Just my two cents.
Oh SNAP!
I think the audio of the ACORN Housing Director may be missing for legal reasons but it doesn't matter. ACORN Housing is just a cover. ACORN is an election pimp and Illegal Democrats are their hoes. How else do you think B. Hussein ObaMao won by 8 million votes?
"There should be NO gov't funding of ANY not-for-profit, EVER."
There should be no government funding of anything non-governmental.
This is too good. Just too good!
Just my opinion but I think the Acorn rep probably talked to someone else after Hannah and James left. That someone else probably knocked some sense into the Acorn rep and told her she'd better file the police report to cover her butt. Why the Acorn rep would go on national TV and lie about the encounter knowing that James and Hannah were videotaping is beyond me! And why the media would report it without knowing if there was a Philly tape or some form of disclaimer about being unable to prove what took place is another mystery.
I love it ! These kids are great !!! I believe to become employed by acorn you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are bonifide gullable fool .
I knew there had to be a Philadelphia video. You can't do a sting in Baltimore and in New York without hitting Philly on the way over.
Media Matters is exposed every time the release a post.
Please, please, please, do what I have done. Write, phone or email your (so called) government representatives and demand all Acorn funds be cut off FOREVER. DID YOU KNOW THE LATEST TRICK THE REPS DID ONLY CUTS THEM OFF UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR?? Yup, they are liars and cheats. Then, vote them all out in the next elections.
As an American I would like to thank all involved in this investigation. It is about time someone had the balls. A word of caution though. Watch your back. When an angry dog gets backed into a corner it will try to kill. Murder is not outside the realm of possibilities at this point.
I love what these young hero's have done in exposing these Acorns that are an extension of Obama and the Democratic party. BUT, I hear that ACORN only lost funding for the month of Oct!!! They will begin getting funding again AFTER MIDNIGHT ON HALLOWEEN!!
Why? Because Obama probably needs them for his civilian army he wants to raise up. I know this is scary but I think Obama still has plans for these weirdo's. Maybe to help steal an election somewhere….
They could plea stupidity …
Ms. Russell, see that bus coming…..Watch out Bertha Lewis is behind you.
Not for profit, aka socialism. Bsaically they tell the soverign free market consumer to shove it, we dont care how you vote with your dollars in an economic democracy. The non-profits and socialists will decide what the consumers want and what they will pay for it, wolves in sheeps clothing.
"Head Community Organizer"… what a title. Having lived behind the iron curtain, it sounds suspiciously like "cadre" and "block boss"
ok, I'm with you guys but have to ask why the date on the video is 2005? Also, it's a real shame the audio and video are subjectable. I'm believe what your saying happened but I don't think the video and audio fully support it and I really wish it did. I have made a donation for legal funds and am ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with the effort to clean things up. I'm grateful for you guys.
The outfits are hysterical.
I agree with jim– these people are no brain thugs who would have no qualms of harming you
Acorn offices across the United States should ALL be shut down including their connected groups which are under different names. If the Government doesn't do it maybe it's up to us to use a little civil disobedience.
So does this mean that the ACORN scumbag filed a false police report and isn't that trouble in and of itself?
I'm not hearing anything the ACORN person is saying. Just James and Hannah. Is it a problem with the audio?
This story should confirm if the Pultizer Committee really honors "Excellence in Journalism" or are they simply a device for the MSM to pat themselves on their backs without breaking their arms.
Bertha Lewis is spluttering white rabid foam out of her mouth as we speak. LOL!! I wonder what lie she'll concoct this time? The woman in the philly office is dumber than a box of rocks and is probably hiding under her bed today.
As for the fake police report, I hope the cop is kicked off the force for his fraudulent behavior.
Kudos to Hannah and James. Gotta love their chutzpah and timing. They waited until the Acorn people were feeling comfortable that all this will blow over and forgotten. HA!
Who cares? But I sure do like those slow-mo shots of Hannah in the last few seconds of the video. Talk about hot!

"… how corrupt the traditional media really is."
Traditional newsgathering — journalists who seek and report the truth — still exist, though they've mostly moved to non-traditional venues. Marshall McLuhan notwithstanding, the message is the message.
HAHAHA The comment section on media matters (http://mediamatters.org/research/200909170031) is closed…. LOL
I just tried to leave a comment and it would not let me and said it was closed… I smell fear…
The audio from the Acorn people is blocked because it is illegal to secretly audio record anyone with out prior consent but it is not illegal to videotape without prior consent,
it's the ol' "Who you gonna believe- me, or your lyin' eyes?"
Please stop bad mouthing Obamas employer.
