Does it surprise you that democrats support criminal activity? These ACORN people were giving advice on how to enslave young, underage, minority women. This is how liberals repay minorities for their support, by giving support to domestic terrorist organisations.
On one side I am not surprised that democrats support child prostitution, on the other hand I just can't believe that anyone can be that evil a person. I guess I just don't want to believe that people are really that evil.

No crime should go unpunished right? You go undercover recording folks, you best know the law.

Look at the tv today and she the thousands and thousands...more will be fed up if this is going to be prosecuted otherwise than going after the woman from Acorn and their organisation.
They are heroes but when I heard Glenn Beck interviewing the girl Thursday on his radio show I heard him tell her that he could help her hire some protective services and I think she needs that as badly as he does right now. Beck has hired lots of protective services as he has said that he didn't like living behind walls with gates with guards all the way from home to work. He doesn't like it but he hasn't been intimidated by the threats from the left since he began to seriously expose some of their work.

These two young people may have a great career in investigative journalism or they may end up with mangled knees or even dead. Muscle for Money operates that way and is an ACORN group. I think that these two people are real heroes but I will bet they go around in their own homes looking over their shoulders these days.

Note: Most of the “inquiries” they received from citizens — although perhaps not from reporters — surely were demands that ACORN be prosecuted. So they looked at the tape … and decided to go after O’Keefe instead. The news story at the link reminds us that they went after Linda Tripp for wiretapping too, coincidentally another person who made life uncomfortable for a Democratic president. Here’s the statute. You’ll find exception after exception provided for law enforcement to shield them from liability when they tape criminals surreptitiously to serve the public interest. Kind of like how O’Keefe did here.
Who is the most prominent person from Maryland who is also involved in the government of the US? I think you may find the answer to why they might be looking at prosecuting O'Keefe if you realize that that man is next in line to be president of the nation.

If ACORN stands to get all the money from the Stimulus Law it seems to me that the government may well be on their side.

The best part of your link, in my opinion, is the last part where the writer says he doesn't know whether he wants O'Keefe to go to jail or not. I think that the young man may well be glad to have celebrity status from that knowing that he would never serve a long time. Then he would only have to worry about his physical person because there will certainly be some ACORN people all around him.

Do you think those women didn't know they were being taped?

People really can be that evil. The sooner you accept that fact, the sooner you can help fight against it. You sound like a critical thinker, don't waste it by being TOO idealistic.

Need a little reminder it wasn't a Democratic President who with his sanctioning of break-ins showed as much respect for the law as a common street thief?

That it wasn't a Democratic President who supported the criminal, treasonous act of selling weapons to an enemy? Or like him do you just develop convenient amnesia?

Steny Hoyer, MD 5th? I think he's somewhere behind the Secretary of Street Sweeping in the line of succession?

Elijah Cummings? Hmm, he's not anywhere in line.

John Sarbanes? Same.

Ben Cardin, Senator? Nope, not in the line of succession.

Barbara Mikulski, Senator? Same.

Oh, wait, you must mean Michael Steele, nope he lost last time he ran for office from MD.

Alan Keyes, who lost his statewide race in MD? Nope he was last seen losing BIG to a guy named Obama in the IL Senate race in '04, then making a complete fool of himself in the "birther" movement. Can't be him either.

The best I can recall the last Marylander who was in the line of succession to the Presidency was guy name Agnew back in the '70s. I'm pretty sure you don't mean him because he (1) resigned the Vice Presidency, (2) was indicted on criminal charges, (3) plead "nolo contendre" (same as guilty) and has SINCE DIED.

Who is it in your world that you see as being in the line of succession from Maryland?

This came up in PA with child labor laws and Jon & Kate Plus Eight. If the state gets complaints, it has to look into them. If they find wrongdoing, they have act regardless of whom is it is doing things wrong.
