Remember James O’Keefe?  He and Hannah Giles broke the news stories on just how far ACORN was willing to go, including breaking laws.  Several ACORN (Obama’s pets) offices aggreed to help them set up illegal underage prostitution houses with federal aid.  The stories broke and the left went nuts.  They completely ignored the fact that the ACORN offices were more than willing to break the laws.  Enter todays news about O’Keefe attempting to wire tap Mary Landrieu’s office.  The left are all over his “crime”.  Where were they on ACORN’s crimes?  Completely ignoring the issue, that’s where.

Reminds me of a time that I reported a copyright violation to a site I sell through.  I had bought a merchants resource believing that the seller had the right to sell the digital images she was selling.  Then someone posted a link to the website where she copied her resource from (it was quickly pulled from the forum at the request of the infringer).   After contacting the website and learning that they did not, in fact, allow such use of their digital images I contacted the site she was selling them through and quietly reported it.   Now I’ve been a member there for years and watched innocent mistakes publicly denounced in public forums.  It ruins reps and serves no one.  I reported it quietly so as not to destroy someone’s rep and what did I get for it?   Her friends decided to post angry comments in the merchant forum, not towards her stupid mistake which she should have known better than to do but against the person who reported it.  That’s right, her idiot friends claimed that a 3rd party shouldn’t have been able to bring the copyright infringement to the sites attention, that it was only the copyright holders place.  The problem with that is the site that she stole from would never have known.   Were it someone they weren’t personal friends with they would have had their pitchforks out against them.  Did she, or they even bother to consider that I could have made a public issue out of it?  She certainly wouldn’t be selling where she is now if I had.  I did her a favor and she never even bothered to explain to her customers why she had to pull the product.

So same sh*t different market.
