I'd like to see a link for that, plz.
Mi scusi? Since you're new around here, let's have a little mea culpa. I'm a very conservative leaning libertarian, and I generally despise anything to do with Democrats, the media, and the government. What I also happen to despise though, ahead of pretty much anything else, is a liar. So while I might generally be inclined to agree with your premises, if O'Keefe is your only source material, it just doesn't cut it with me.

The California Attorney General's Office granted O'Keefe and Giles limited immunity from prosecution in exchange for providing the full, unedited videotapes related to ACORN offices in California.[44] The AG's Report was released on April 1, 2010, concluding that the videos from ACORN offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardino had been "severely edited."[44] The report found there was no evidence of criminal conduct on the part of ACORN employees nor any evidence that any employee intended to aid or abet criminal conduct. It found that three employees had tried to deflect the couple's plans, told them ACORN could not offer them help on the grounds they wanted, and otherwise dealt with them appropriately. Such context was not reflected in O'Keefe's edited tapes. The AG's Report noted that "O'Keefe stated that he was out to make a point and to damage ACORN and therefore did not act as a journalist objectively reporting a story". It found no evidence of intent by the employees to aid the couple. The report also noted "a serious and glaring deficit in management, governance and accountability within the ACORN organization" and said its conduct "suggests an organizational ethos at odds with the norms of American society. Empowering and serving low-and moderate-income families cannot be squared with counseling and encouraging illegal activities."[44]
Wiki has it for the ACORN videos but I'm pretty sure it also happened in the PP videos.
