The liberal news watchdog group has been demanding retractions from anyone who reported that James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles wore outlandish outfits inside of ACORN offices. They dressed more More…
I haven’t nitpicked many comments made by CPAC speakers, but during the “Saving Freedom From Vote Fraud” panel, ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief passed on a myth that really should be debunked.

I caught up with Hannah Giles, co-star of the ACORN sting videos, after she accepted one of 10 “Buckley Awards” handed out in the XPAC lounge for young conservative leaders. Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack and FreedomWorks organizer Brendan Steinhauser were among the winners, but no one attracted as much More…
