How many ACORN workers called the police after talking to the conservative scammers?

[Eric J in MN]

I know of two:

Juan Carlos Vera of the San Diego office phoned the police:

1. And how many others were taped before they got good footage?

10? 50? 1000?

2. We Do Not Know At This Point, Sir

Any more than we know how many offices the provocateurs entered with their ludicrous tale.

3. Acorn would have put out more if there were more.

I don't really think more than 12 ACORN offices were visited either.

extrapolating..

the pimp/ho duo claim they didn't spen2 more than 1300 bucks. lets assume they are boasting so let's double it.

it probably would cost a bare minimum of 200 per attempt(transportation,food,housing,air flight) so 12 visits is a reasonable number.

One thing that bothers me about the philly police report.

If the "duo" were operating undercover, how the HELL did they obtain "james o'keefe" to put on the report? I thought they lied about their names!

I really don't think the lower-level employees have been all that honest with Bertha Lewis. Consequently she has unfairly been left holding the bag far too often. This is particularly true since the "duo" has been dribbling their video exploits out slowly.

Btw, Bertha Lewis was just on Fox debating Darrell Issa. She held her own quite well..

4. Apparently, the fake names and costumes came later...

...after the visit to the Philadelphia office.

7. Hope you are right

However, I have seen the philly office produce two different stories concerning the sting. The first was the "ho" acting alone, the second throwing out the "pimp" alone. The police report appears too vague.

I trust Lewis far more than the staff there. But she can only operate on what she is told.

Oh well, no matter. O'Keefe is allegedly busy for the next two weeks doctoring the "remaining" videos and we won't see anything new for a couple of weeks.

Breitbart, the pimp/ho duo's sponsor, claims he has some NEW video for this week starting Monday. The speculation is the target is to be NEA funding. Just a lightly informed(google) WAG.
