The tapes were apparently edited.
While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

Yeah, they've still never come up with the unedited tapes, have they?

They lost me when their own transcript differed from what they were telling news sources. They had me till then, tho. C'est la vie ;)

Their employees did fake names for voter registration, now. That doesn't make me a happy camper. They needed to be much better run.

Yeah, but ACORN itself reported those workers and those registrations. The witch hunt against them (it is pathetically easy to find people who insist Obama didn't win the election but that ACORN stole it) is absurd.

I'm fairly sure the footage was shot in secret. I can't picture the people who shot it ever, ever coming forward with the original tape.
