Conservative activists vs ACORN and Dems
You gotta love politics! 
Breaking story:
Quote:
Four charged in phone scheme at Sen. Landrieu's office
By Michael Kunzelman, Associated Press Writer
NEW ORLEANS — A conservative activist who posed as a pimp to target a community-organizing group [ACORN] with ties to President Barack Obama was among four men arrested for allegedly trying to interfere with a Democratic senator's office telephones.
Federal officials have not yet said whether the men were successful, or if their goal was political espionage. Still, the operation's style recalled the famous Watergate break-in, which ballooned into a scandal that consumed Richard Nixon's presidency and led to his resignation.
Activist James O'Keefe, 25, was already in the New Orleans office of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu on Monday when two of the accused showed up claiming to be telephone repairmen, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office said Tuesday. Letten says O'Keefe videoed them with his cellphone.
