For one thing, we learn that the mind behind the videos is a criminal mind. If a criminal was behind these videos, then we must challenge their veracity.In fact, you don't even have to make this judgment, you can easily do this simply by going to Breitbart's own website and read the transcripts of the videos he refuses to release! They show that the videos indeed were doctored, that O'Keefe didn't even claim to be a pimp when he was there! He claimed instead to be the prostitute's boyfriend trying to save her from an abusive pimp and also to help others escape him! He edited the videos to make it seem as if he was playing the role of the pimp. O'Keefe is a known racist who openly said that he wanted to take down ACORN to suppress the vote, and now is shown to be a criminal with no credibility at all, and to think that his word is considered to be enough to sink a group like ACORN, with its 40 years of service for those with the least power in society.
