  1. They don’t need to play the race card. Brietbart.com broke the law:

    Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Section 10-402
    § 10-402.

    (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this subtitle it is unlawful for any person to:

    (1) Wilfully intercept, endeavor to intercept, or procure any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication;

    (2) Wilfully disclose, or endeavor to disclose, to any other person the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through the interception of a wire, oral, or electronic communication in violation of this subtitle; or

    (3) Wilfully use, or endeavor to use, the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through the interception of a wire, oral, or electronic communication in violation of this subtitle.

    • You appear to be an intelligent man, Mr. Hoffman, and not just a shill for ACORN, et al. I am well aware of Maryland law on the issue. I am also aware that in a similar case, the damages awarded were cut to zilch, nada, and nothing. http://spectator.org/blog/2009/09/23/acorn-sues-filmakers-breitbart and that was just through the appeal to the circuit court in that jurisdiction. It will be determined this time through appeal all the way through the SCOTUS if it isn’t decided in the defendants favor before that time.

      So, my question again is, how many times will they play the race card.

      Thank you for your input.

  2. How would I know how many times they will “play the race card?” I’m not a hedgehog and I’m not in the habit of trying to predict the future.

    But the case with the supermarket and that of ACORN are two completely different scenarios. One uncovered a health hazard while the other is entrapment, the destruction of reputations that possibly resulted in loss of revenue, funding, and income.

    Personally, I think race does have something to do with the piling on of ACORN. After all, they’re primarily a black organization that operates to primarily help poor black people.

  3. I’m not surprised that you can’t predict the future, nor am I surprised that you find something racial about the way ACORN treated their employees. That is what you meant to say isn’t it? You do know that everyone fired with the exception of the lady in San Bernadino was either black or Latino. The lady in San Bernadino is white and still on the job.

    Of course ACORN helps (?) poor black people. One of the ways they manage to succeed in doing so, in consort with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is in making sure they place them with a mortgage and a home they can ill afford. I suppose that after their world goes to hell in a hand basket, ACORN is justified in helping the “poor” victims (victimized by ACORN) break into foreclosed homes, further victimizing them by inducing them to break the law.

    ACORN is just another tool of the Democratic party that helps to keep minorities hooked by convincing them that they are victims of the system. You know the Democrats I speak of … Barney Frank and his spawn.

    No, the case you believe will have a free ride because of Maryland law is not that different from the Food Lion case. In your favorite case, the harm to the employees was presented by the actions of ACORN. First in denying them proper training and second to fire them for no good reason. That is, if they were true victims (which I doubt) and not just another part of a careless and continuing criminal enterprise. In the Food Lion case the harm was actually caused by Food Lion’s own actions. No pun, but I guess the jury is still out on the present ACORN case.

    Wade’s brother Dale certainly helped poor black people. Yes, Dale helped them shed a million dollars. Too bad his white butt isn’t in prison where it belongs. And, it is a shame and a sham that everyone who covered the crime up or paid hush-money isn’t in the hoosegow.

    Are you related to Abie Hoffman?

  4. “ACORN is just another tool of the Democratic party that helps to keep minorities hooked by convincing them that they are victims of the system. You know the Democrats I speak of … Barney Frank and his spawn.”

    I actually agree with you on that, but it’s irrelevant. I haven’t studied the case in depth, but it appears the Food Lion was violating the law with its unsanitary conditions. While the ACORN employees acted in a bizarre manor, they may or may not have broken any laws, and it may be entrapment. That’s the important distinction in a case like this. I think that’s the case, anyway. My wife’s the lawyer — not me. :)
