>>Not defending the two women in ACORN's Baltimore office, but the recorders and disseminators of the video don't have a lot of credibility, either. They had tried the same scam at several other ACORN offices previously and were rebuffed. They misrepresented who they were, which is affiliated with conservative action groups. Again, not defending the Baltimore employees (volunteers?) who fell for it, but this is a clear case of trying to entrap people until you hit pay dirt.

I am not trying to shift blame and have said from the start of this discussion that I don't defend the ACORN employees/volunteers involved. My response was to Kevin's post saying, in so many words, that this proves ACORN is worthless. IMO it reveals at least as much about the Gotcha videotapers as is does about ACORN as an organization.
