ACORN worker reported hoaxsters

In case the hoax video made by conservative "filmmakers" purporting to "catch" ACORN hasn't already been discredited enough, the filmers' case has just crumbled even more.

Even though it was discovered that the videotapes were doctored, Congress didn't relent in its war against ACORN.

Now another damning tidbit has emerged against the hoaxsters. Police in National City, California, say that the ACORN worker who was filmed there reported the filmers to the authorities because he suspected them of human trafficking.

In other words, he did precisely what he should have done: He reported suspected major criminal activity.

The wingnut party line claims ACORN workers were trying to facilitate human trafficking. But the latest story proves an ACORN worker was actually trying to prevent trafficking, not promote it.

Don't expect to see this latest wrinkle in this saga reported on Fux News. In their lingering BushWorld, 2 right-wing operatives can make a fake video that gets debunked repeatedly, Congress can bend to their demands, and the truth is forgotten within months.

Meanwhile, abusive youth "rehabs" that engage in human trafficking go unpunished.
