Kelly Shackelford takes on ACORN
Kelly Shackelford, an attorney and friend of Focus on the Family who heads up the Liberty Legal Institute in Texas, has agreed to defend Hannah Giles, the “prostitute” in the now-famous undercover investigatory videos now playing all over the blogosphere. Hannah and her fellow journalist James O’Keefe (who played Hannah’s “pimp” in the videos) attempted to seek tax help from ACORN in facilitating their sex trafficking “business.” (The videos are a “must see.” Just plug “ACORN videos” into any internet search engine.) This is undercover watchdog journalism at its finest. The thought of taxpayer funding going to such an organization is revolting. More on Kelly, Hannah and the lawsuit at National Review Online’s “The Corner.”
Can’t believe ACORN would sue Hannah! This will open them up to “discovery,” and the fact the ACORN employees didn’t blink an eye when they were asked to help facilitate underage sex trafficking would make me think there’s a lot to “discover.” Is there no shame?
