Dirty tricks for not reforming Health Care

Well, it seems rat-fucking is the new black in some political circles, as four people were arrested as they tried to gain access to Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office to tap her phones.

According to The New Orleans Times-Picayune, one of the men arrested was James O’Keefe, a filmmaker who produced videos purporting to document questionable practices at some field offices of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as Acorn. In the videos, Mr. O’Keefe and an associate, Hannah Giles, posing as a pimp and a prostitute, secretly filmed themselves seeking and receiving financial advice for a brothel from Acorn workers.

All four of the people arrested in New Orleans were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony. At least two of the four people were dressed in telephone company work clothes and construction hats when they were arrested.

Also arrested was the son of the acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana.

But ACORN is EVIL.

Interesting that these intrepid would-be Merry Gangsters chose Mary Landrieu as a target, one of the bluest of the Blue Dogs.

I wonder what the potential punishment is if the alleged criminals are convicted of attempted phone tapping in a federal building. I also wonder who will pay their lawyers.
