First thing I noticed. They are reffeing to the two people, supposedly fired, as employees. Not exemployees and they are representing the supposedly, fired employeees.

Too bad it's Tax Payer money that's going to pay for this suit. But, when all the evidence is in, we will be able to see ACORN finally die out

ACORN files suit against filmmakers

ACORN filed suit against conservative site Breitbart.com in Maryland Wednesday.

ACORN filed suit today in Maryland against conservative filmmakers James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles and conservative Web site Breitbart.com for secretly taping the organization’s employees at its Baltimore office.


In the complaint, ACORN alleges that the filmmakers entered into the organization’s offices in July with a “hidden camera and microphone” and taped employees Tonja Thompson and Shera Williams. Both employees are listed as plaintiffs on the complaint, filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City.


The crux of the lawsuit centers around a Maryland law which makes it illegal to tape someone without their consent – ACORN is alleging O’Keefe and Giles did so. ACORN is asking for $500,000 in damages to be awarded to each of the employees filmed by O'Keefe and Giles, and ACORN itself wants $1 million in damages.


Breitbart.com, one of the suit’s defendants, is run by conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, whose Web site BigGovernment.com first posted most of O’Keefe and Giles’ videos. Breitbart has appeared on television with the filmmaking duo, and has a content-sharing relationship with the Drudge Report.

I went on a job interview with them once, they painted a nice picture of what they do, but on my first training day, it was so not like what they had described, I was quite put off by it and never went back. All I did that day was ask people for money for a cause I barely knew anything about, but had to convince the other person that it was in their interest to donate something. And then...they have quotas! I forgot how much you had to raise in a week!

I see you're pretty new here.
May I have the pleasure of welcoming you and good luck in your search.

Funny how the law suite does not dispute any of the behaviors(or information provided by acorn employees) of the Acorn employees only the means of which the information was obtained

Hmmmmmmmmm........I guess the best thing us tax[ayers can do for the moment is to STOP donating money to any and every organization that calls, sends mail, or even knocks on your door...It seems like to me there may be some ties with ACORN....These days we never know who is really telling the truth about when it comes to donations......Even stop donating to the so-called homeless that beg on the street corners....They could be ACORN undercovers as well...Some will say I am harsh for my thoughts and actions, but to me it is more harsh to be taken advantage of and lied to by this SORRY government we have laughing at us everyday.......

I don't give money to panhandlers

I'll give em cigarettes and maybe buy em a pint of Thunderbird but no cash

I got a call the other day by a Charity asking if I could donate some clothing for the starving people of the world.

I told them "screw you!" Anybody that would fit into my clothes is definitely NOT starving!

I hear that!!
