Anti-ACORN hoax misreported

Much has been made here about James O'Keefe's hoax video that has been accused of bringing down ACORN. But we need to clear up a misconception about O'Keefe's unpunished fraud.

The press has typically reported that O'Keefe posed as a pimp in the video. That's actually a misunderstanding. That this misconception has been repeated may have harmed ACORN further.

O'Keefe did, however, pose as what he thinks a pimp looks like in a different scene (pictured here).

Still, the damage by the hoax video is done - and O'Keefe needs to be punished for it (and for his wiretapping of Mary Landrieu's office).
