Y'all need to understand how these people think. I once once told by a person of similar ilk, "No matter if you even get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, deny it".

Just like DimRat that was caught on the phone during the townhall meeting claimed the video was out of context and didn't show what really happened.  :mental:

If the Aclown people go after them How long would it take to send cash to those two to pay for the legal bills?

From what I heard on Fox News this morning, Fox may be a co-defendant for showing the video. I don't remember which anchor person it was, but they mentioned the lawsuit just before airing the video again.  :rotf:

I don't think that is a wise course of action for ACORN.
