Ex-Acorn Employees to Sue Filmmakers

My friend Jeff Quinton at his blog "Inside Charm City" reports the recently-fired Acorn employees are planing on suing the filmmakers who exposed them and BigGovernment.Com website founder, Andrew Breitbart.

Hmmm...I wonder if this would work for any fast food restaurant employee's who got fired for being total fools on the surveillance camera footage?

Yeah, I didn't think so.  This is Maryland, so one never knows, but I don't see this thing having much merit in court.

Former employees of the beleaguered community activist group ACORN are planning to file a criminal complaint in Baltimore against the creators of the series of videos that have spurred outrage against the organization, knowledgable sources have told Investigative Voice.

The filing could come as soon as Friday afternoon, sources said.

The criminal complaint will allege that recordings of the group’s employees giving advice on how to evade taxes and house underage South American sex workers to journalists posing as a pimp and prostitute were obtained illegally.

The criminal complaint is expected to name both James O’Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, along with the owner of the website Breitbart, which initially released the videos.

ACORN is also contemplating a civil suit seeking an injunction against O’Keefe and Giles to prevent them from distributing the videos, according to an an email.

In other news, it appears all front office Acorn staffers across America will go through 48-hours of retraining.

Ah yes, retraining...that'll do it.
