Just how much of a massive blow to Democrats and Leftists will James O'Keefe III's and Hannah Giles' $1300 sting operation become? And will Barack Obama, deeply dug in with ACORN and SEIU, be ensnared?

Already we've seen ACORN dethroned and the Main Stream National Media embarrassed. The New York Times, old gray lady that she is, was caught standing around in her knickers looking for bunnies. Now that the story is unfolding, she can chase and play catchup. Or run damage control, more likely.

Today's Chicago Tribune opines...

Independent prosecutor for ACORN

ACORN is in very deep, very public trouble, and the U.S. attorney general should appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate.

...

Independent prosecutors should not be appointed lightly. But in this case, there are good reasons why Atty. Gen. Eric Holder and other political appointees in the Justice Department should step aside. First, although no allegations have yet touched the Obama campaign, ACORN did have significant ties to the campaign and other progressive causes. Published reports show that ACORN and its subsidiaries received some $800,000 from the Obama campaign to get out the vote. Second, ACORN is intimately tied to the Service Employees International Union, one of President Barack Obama's most powerful and vocal supporters.

ACORN's close ties to the progressive movement and Democratic Party mean that there will be little public confidence if Holder decides not to pursue an ambitious investigation and ultimately prosecute. [emboldenings mine -ed.]

So the groundswell begins. A bit late, but we on the Right can look back and point out "We told you so!"

Across the pond, the UK Times Online pokes and funs at the expense of "US Liberals"...

Candid Camera pranks smoke out US liberals

A CONSERVATIVE student armed with a video camera and a wicked sense of humour is humbling some of the most hallowed liberal institutions in the United States using a technique described as “Candid Camera for the internet age”.

In one of his video coups James O’Keefe, 25, telephoned the offices of Planned Parenthood in Columbus, Ohio, a pro-choice abortion group that is a target of the right, and asked to make a donation to pay for abortions for minorities.

He added: “There’s way too many black people in Ohio.” The official simply laughed and agreed to his terms.

When he called its Idaho branch, a helpful member of staff told him he “absolutely” could restrict his donation to abortions of black babies, raising no objection even after he explained that his goal was to shield his son from future competition from minorities for university entry.

Oh, you haven't heard of that one, have you? Where O'Keefe proved that the love of a leftist's life (if he or she, you know, survives an abortion), Planned Parenthood, is nothing more than a progressively racist, eugenicist front? Here ya go...

"There's way too many black people in Ohio. I'm just trying to do my part."
"For whatever reason, we'll accept the money."

Ugggggh.

Andrew Breitbart, media genius, is now employing O'Keefe and Giles as reporters. Breitbart's Big Government website first released and published these ACORN sting tapes, so lefties, direct your hate at the correct target. FOX had the audacity to air the tapes, but the marketing strategy, the timed releases, is all Andrew Breitbart's. CNN? Surely you didn't expect to see this sort of thing there; they are comprised of cowards, from the top down.

"Kudos to Andrew Breitbart. He’s making it fun to be a conservative again.".

Yeah, Patterico, he's a Good Man. Note that somewhere, for future referent, would you? ;D
