ACORN buster arrested...does it really matter?
O'Keefe has been arrested, I read today, for illegally tampering with a politician's phones. Now the news says the GOP is steering clear of him. Why? Wouldn't they rather he show the world what the libunists are really up to? Since you know they'd never comply with a subpoena to surrender their phone records and would never admit to what they do, how else could he have gotten enough to show the voters what their politicians are doing? Wouldn't we rather hear it than hear about it?
Ohhhh no, I am not standing up for ACORN. They ARE a bunch of crooks. I'm asking why it should matter that he tapped some lib's phones. The bottom line is he's not taking them to Court. He's just exposing them, and there's no evidence suppression in an expose'. Fine, take the burglary charge and call it a cost of doing business, but when he releases a tape or a video of some politician doing something shady, the cat is out of the bag and they can't deny it or take it back later. Personally I'm glad someone is stepping up to the plate to do this...and I'm glad he has nards enough to risk his reputation to do so. Too many voters on both sides are too stupid to bother actually researching their politicians' records, so they take the word of the politician about how trustworthy they are. If we need a guy like O'Keefe to show us how stupid we are, I'm ok with that. For the record, if he was to sue and tried to introduce the tapes as evidence, I'd understand and support suppression
