1. Liberty Legal...
...:rofl: That's who is defending her!

She might as well say, "Guilty as charged, Your Honor!"

4. Ah Hannah Dear ....
you went out and lied in order to make money for yourself and to
hurt people that never caused you 1 minute of a problem of any kind
and now you are upset that are fighting back? BTW this little letter
you are sending out is like gold to any attorney that ACORN has hired
to sue you for damages.

7. Too poor for a lawyer, but can afford direct mail?

Dear Hannah,

(X) NO You shouldn't have taken on ACORN. You're on your own.

8. Thanks Hannah...
Your letter was filled with so many lies that by sending it out you have made the case against you even stronger, because you continue to slander ACORN they will likely be able to get an even larger settlement against you. Thank you for helping us to strengthen the case against you.

16. She must not have decent legal consul because any lawyer worth his or her ...
Edited on Sat Mar-06-10 12:35 PM by Botany
... salt would have stopped her from sending out this letter. I had to use a lawyer
a little while back and he told me that he would do the talking and the thinking
for me and if I didn't like it find a different lawyer. (BTW we won big time)

Not only are Hannah and O'Keef looking @ criminal charges but really nasty
civil charges too. The people who lost their jobs because of the edited
and phony videos are gonna own Ms. Hannah.

21. Yes, this letter is filled with accusations that prosecutors have already determined to be false
You are correct, her lawyers could not be very good if they would approve this letter. My guess is she picked some wing-nut attorneys who conform to her viewpoints perfectly and won't bother her with legal facts that go against her pre-conceived notions. I figure that no matter what happens neither her nor O'Keefe will get through this without having to pay some sort of settlement, the evidence is getting stronger every day that they engaged in massive fraud and ACORN clearly has a strong case against them. If they had good attorneys however they would have likely been able to walk away with a relatively small settlement and a slap on the wrist. With attorneys more focused on their wing-nut fantasies than defending their clients however the chances that Giles and O'Keefe not only spend the rest of their lives sending most of their income to ACORN but also end up serving jail time increase significantly.

23. I looked up the Liberty Legal Institute and it pure wing nut country
..... it is in Plano, TX. Looks to me that they are using Ms Hannah for fund raising among
the moon bat snake handlers any decent attorney will eat their lunch, make 'em shine their
shoes, and get into the pockets of Ms. Giles and her backers. I bet the damages that will
be sued for are pretty damn big .... fraud and slander are slam dunks.

BTW If you can stomach click on the link and then click on that page's link and you can
see Ms. Hannah basking in the glow of being in Fox News' spotlight .... she thinks her ship
has just come in right after the ACORN pimp video came out.

From there home page.

24. "Posing as a prostitute and pimp"
Their own legal defense website is still claiming they were "posing as a prostitute and pimp" after even Giles herself was forced to admit that O'Keefe never wore his pimp costume to the ACORN offices. I sense that when ACORN's lawyers decide to pounce Liberty Legal is not going to know what hit them. When Giles' own lawyers continue to spread blatant lies just so they can stir up the wing-nuts to donate money they are only harming their own case, and I can't wait to see them completely humiliated in court.

26. Although our "liberal" media will not report it I fully expect a ...
.... cease and desist will be issued against Ms. Giles and whomever is doing the mailing
will be issued ASAP. Not only is Liberty Legal not protecting their client very well but
they themselves are getting into legal jeopardy w/ that stupid fund raising letter.

Those people who got fired from ACORN are looking at some real money.

31. I disagree. A cease-and-desist order is very unlikely here.
Courts are extremely reluctant to engage in prior restraint of speech.

If ACORN and individual employees argue that their reputations are being damaged, the answer will be to go start a defamation action.

This isn't a bad thing. As others have pointed out in this thread, the effect of the letter could well be to aid ACORN in any civil action against Giles. She might have a decent action for legal malpractice against "her" lawyers, who are serving the best interests of their employer rather than their client.

14. In the letter she says O'Keefe posed as a "would be" politician.
I thought he posed as her pimp? What's this about him pretending to be a "would be" politican?

Anyway I am glad to hear she is potentially facing more than a dozen civil and criminal lawsuits. In some jurisdictions what they did was illegal with the undercover taping. Then they doctored the tapes and presented a distorted view of what went on.

15. The story was originally that he posed as a pimp, but it was a lie...
Photos emerged of O'Keefe going into the ACORN offices dressed very conservatively and they were forced to retract the pimp story after it was proven to be a lie, now they are suddenly claiming that he was a "would be politician". BradBlog has been doing a great job of exposing all the inconsistencies in their story.

18. Thanks for that update...I didn't realize they were claiming he posed as a
"would be" politician, whatever that is. I knew the pimp outfit was bogus but didn't hear the rest about the polician bit. I'll have to head over to BradBlog to read up.

27. RW nutcases like this always have $millions at their disposal
If she's really being persecuted, why isn't Breitbart helping her out? Or Ailes or Murdoch?

This is a PR campaign, pure and simple.

33. Welcome to adulthood, stupid.
You know you've made it to Big Person Land after you get sued for the first time for being an idiot.

Behavior that used to be considered 'childhood pranks' just a few years ago, when you were young and dumb, will certainly get you in trouble.

Oh, wait.


You are *still* young and dumb.



Hope you, your family, your friends, and your supporters spend every last dime they have in this losing effort.

Guess things aren's so funny now, are they, dumbass?
