re: #65 Cato the Elder

The fact is, in Maryland, I can’t tape you (video or audio) without letting you know - even if you’re stalking me on the phone. It’s against the law, and the evidence is inadmissible in court.

For the court of public opinion that may not count, but the stingers may yet find themselves stung, nonetheless.

Not sure what a major news organization does when they want to report undercover in Maryland. Maybe find another state? Or take their lumps and pay the fine?

It’s an obscure law, and may need to be changed, but the pimp ‘n’ ho team may have to write a fat check, at the very least.

No doubt to be covered by the people who are happy not just to see ACORN in trouble, but who are now gleefully rubbing their hands at the thought that some poor people (those evil bums) might lose their houses in the absence of help.

And believe me, I know some of those.

Way to miss the point. ACORN has two people claiming to be engaged in illegal activity, ACORN gives them illegal advice, Cato the Elder complains that poor people aren’t being helped now.

If people are asking for help with illegal activities, ACORN should turn them away. Not help them break the law more.

Maybe there’s a Sarah Palin angle to all this..
