Loss of Privacy

Juan Carlos Vera is suing James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles in federal court for violating The Invasion of Privacy Act. It turns out the only ones breaking any laws were the conservative activists. The “reporting” was illegal by the laws of California. The video was also heavily edited, which led to an honorable man losing his job.

It is also important to remember that O’Keefe’s claims are now under scrutiny because of his heavy editing. No other ACORN member filed any paperwork for O’Keefe and the only unedited version we’ve seen, shows the dubious practices that O’Keefe went to in order to tell his version of the story. They never uncovered any crime and lied about what they saw.

ACORN was founded in 1970. It’s purpose was to help poor people register to vote and then to actually go and vote. They also helped the poor in finding affordable housing and other social services. Since they’ve shut down, who’s going to help the poor now?

I don’t suppose Sean Hannity will be apologizing now.

Attack of the Show reports on the devastation in the gulf due to the BP oil spill. For those that don’t know, Attack of the Show is on the G4TV channel. This is a TV channel dedicated to video games and tech news and they’re doing a better job at reporting this story than the mainstream media.

You can watch Part 1 here. You can also watch the numerous videos Rachel Maddow has on the gulf spill as well. Not many media outlets are covering the truth of what’s happening in the gulf.

The video below is the effects on wildlife. It’s sickening, heartwrenching, and heartbreaking. The video is very difficult to watch. I dare you to watch it and not tear up.
