AP Report On Census Bureau's Firing minimizes ACORN, blames on Republicans

.
In no less than four seperate videos (full script here) viewers have seen helpful ACORN employees tell O'Keefe and Giles, among many jaw-dropping things, that:

  • Giles should call herself a “freelance performing artist” for tax purposes.
  • That they should claim three of 13 underage girls the pair planned to bring in from El Salvador to work as prostitutes as dependents.
  • That the prostitute should also claim child tax credits for those declared as "dependents."

O'Keefe and Giles piled on Friday morning by releasing a second pair of videos showing that they had pulled off a similar sting at ACORN's DC office.

But if we're to believe the Associated Press, Friday's out of the blue decision by the Census Bureau to sever its ties with ACORN in connection with the 2010 census had nothing or at most very little to do with what O'Keefe and Giles pulled off.

Instead, Yen portrayed the decision as a cave-in to the minority party in Washington known as Republicans. Uh-huh.
