James O'Keefe at Big Government is announcing another ACORN prostitution scandal--this time in Philadelphia.
This post will be updated as details emerge.
Update 1: The currently posted video is only a partial video. The full video is over 30 minutes long is promised for later. I had a number of audio dropouts while watching the video that was posted--I hoping the complete one is more intact.
Overall what is shown is quite...well I was going to say shocking but is anyone even remotely surprised by ACORN officials lying? The video shows clips of ACORN officials on CNN and the like saying "Breitbart and his companion where shown the door" and then the video shows long conversations in the office. They show an ACORN claim that no one was dressed in a flashy manner and then show the outfits so ridiculous that they would be overdone for a pimp and prostitute in a bad 80's melodrama cop show.
Breitbart asks if there will be retractions from the media outlets that obviously quoted ACORN statements as fact without any checking. Stay tuned...
Update 2: The audio dropouts are explained by Breitbart.
We muted the audio of the ACORN employees on the video released today due to ACORN's legal attack upon us. We call upon ACORN to state publicly now that it has no objection to the public release of any its employees oral statements to us. If they are interested in the truth, why wouldn't they do so?
For a good read, check out the previous parroting of ACORN statements by Media Matters masquerading as debunking of the sting videos. Almost every claim made is directly refuted by the new video.

As Fox News continues to be marginalized by the White House and the Popular Rule in the interest of promoting state-run media as well other more favorable outlets, a great disservice is being done to the institution that is the Press. Our Founding Fathers respected this institution enough to include the RIGHT that protects it in the same Amendment as religion. They fully understood the importance of a free press and its ability to prevent tyranny from ever coming to our shores.
I am not saying that the work of Giles and O'Keefe should be thought of as transcendent or even patriotic, but I am absolutely stating that they should be commended for their efforts in every way imaginable. If their work inspired one person to engage in similar behavior to expose corruption, fraud, or mismanagement of government resources - at either end of the political or ideological spectrum - then they have done this country and the institution of the press a great service and we owe them our thanks.

Did you hear about the White House prostitution scandal?
WHITE HOUSE PLAYS PIMP TO SOTO-MY-WHORE
Every aspect of Sonia Sotomayor's nomination procedure to become the newest Supreme Court justice was so controlled that she was even told what to wear at the acceptance ceremony. Sotomayor wanted to shop for new clothes for her acceptance, but was told to bring five suits for White House officials to choose from.

Wasn't there a DNC operative posting comments on here a while back referring to the duo as liars since they were thrown out of the Philly office? Didn't they cite the police report as evidence? And regarding the police report, when you brush out your tracks to keep from being followed it's pretty important to NOT make it look like you just brushed-out your tracks.

The audio is dropping out on purpose...Philly law states that you cannot record someone's voice without their permission, but doesn't say that about video. So, Briebert, et al, have chosen to "cut" her audio, at least in this version, to ensure they stay within the law.

Why is the audio dropped? These people are not being recorded as private citizens, they are being recorded as employees of a an organization that receives government support. Since we supposedly live in a country with a goivernment of and by the people I would like to know what my money is buying.

I still have a bad feeling that the MSM will either ignore this or continue to mis-report the facts.
They seem quite reluctant to forfeit their access to Obama, Emmanuel and Axelrod.

MSM: "LIES! THEY WERE THROWN OUT!"
Breitbart: "We have the video..."
MSM: "You RECORDED THEM? OMG! YOU RACIST CRIMINALS!"
B: "Technically we cannot share the audio but the video speaks for itself, they were not thrown out at first mention as ACORN wants you to believe."
MSM: "... This is not PROOF! Without audio you cannot prove they werent calmly asking these people to leave! AUTOIGNORE"
B: "sigh"
Meanwhile the websites with the lie video are exploding from lack of bandwidth and Fox will run the story stealing the ratings from all the other networks.

SIDENOTE: When will Wizbang join the other conservative blogs and remove LFG from the blogroll? Or is it there to remind us to be vigilant?
