You may remember Andrew Breitbart as the proprietor of BigGovernment.com, and, apparently, babysitter for juvenile delinquents James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, the conservative, hidden-camera-wielding duo that went undercover to obtain footage of low-level ACORN staffers.

WASHINGTON — Two conservative activists released a new undercover video targeting the community organizing group ACORN on Wednesday, an attempt ...

Lost in all of the sensationalism and selective truths is that there has been no connection between ACORN and underage prostitution, until a kid walked in and started talking about it to anyone he could get to listen to him.

The reality -- that ACORN is an established group with worthy goals and some success but also poor management -- is not what's driving the story. Conservatives want to destroy ACORN and the things it does. Period.

In this brave new world of anything goes journalism, many in the media have taken up a recent scandal, and the videos it produced, as incontrovertible evidence of ACORN corruption.

BALTIMORE — Community activist group ACORN is suing the makers of a hidden-camera video that showed employees of its Baltimore office giving tax...

It is natural for many to shirk away from defending ACORN in light of this footage. But this particular exchange is not just cherry-picked -- it was planted, nurtured, and harvested.

All ACORN Housing staff members are expected to comply with high standards for ethical behavior and compliance with the law, but the video tape is slanted to misinform the public about ACORN Housing.

We will not let the behavior of a few employees, out of the hundreds we have nationwide, be used by those with a political agenda and sordid means to either define us or distract us from our mission.
