ACORN buster arrested...does it really matter?

it doesn't nullify acorn's sins.

The guy was busted trying to tap phones in Senator Mary Landrew's office, or at least phones in an office that had to do with her and her brother. The brother is running for Mayor of New Orleans and the Acorn guy was trying to show how the Senator is funneling government money to her brother's election. Watergate gone bad!

I don't know anything about Repubs distancing themselves form the Acorn guy, but I would if I was them. The Acorn guy was trying to tap phones in a federal building, not a smart idea. They are probably looking at jail time.

Well, he is known to go after people he suspects of wrongdoing...so yes it does matter. Like you said, the person probably would not be willing to give up their phone records anyway. However, the action taken was illegal and he got caught. I can see why the GOP wants not to be associated with him. Same thing happened during the Nixon administration at Watergate.

As the investigation proceeds the proof and real truth about ACORN will come to light. Then you conservatives will have to get another talking point from your Fox buddies. You probably didn't think Bush's wiretapping program or Nixon's Watergate was so bad either. Typical conservative selective memory syndrome

Republicans are such hypocrites. You talk about national security and criticize Obama for breaches in security yet you condone someone presenting false credentials to Federal law enforcement officers to break the law. You think it's okay for a private citizen to break the law with a wiretap because you say Democrats would never comply with a subpoena and overlook all the times Cheney ignored subpoenas and claimed e-mails were lost or accidentally deleted. You're concerned about national security yet think outing a CIA agent is a non issue.

So, in the degree of being bad, tampering with phones is really bad and helping people set up a prostitution ring with underage foreign girls is just bad?

Anyway, he was arrested, isn't he innocent until proven guilty? Or perhaps not, when some Democrat is charging a person, they ar guilty until proven innocent.

ACORN is a bunch of crooks and you are standing up for them, you should be ashamed of yourself.

He (O'Keefe) over stepped his bounds trying again to expose people. He will make his point one way or the other. I personally think it was great to film your self doing illegal actions and having the film of them telling you how to cheat the system. We need more like him, only not breaking the law.

ISn't Acorn still being sued by 15 states for voter fraud?

Whats the prob again?

An excellent example of the Republican philosophy of the ends justifying the means. What other federal laws would, in your mind, be ok to break in the pursuit of private information? Larceny? Espionage? Blackmail? Murder?

O'keef is a GOP operative so of course they would back off of him . But once these young birds start to sing to the FBI there could be more Conservatives charge with conspiracy .

It doesn't matter. He had his 15 minutes and has now blown it by partaking in criminal activity. It seems as if he is actually a liberal being that he loves to pretend that he is a pimp and con his way into buildings.
