ACORN Smear Collaborator Claims Persecution to Raise Money for Her Legal Troubles

In a bizarre fundraising appeal, James O'Keefe's co-conspirator Hannah Giles claims ACORN is trying to 'destroy' her -- and invites you to donate $35 to $5,000 to her legal fund.
 
Late last week, a large pink envelope arrived in our mailbox bearing a "USA NONPROFIT" stamp and, in lieu of a return address, a black and white image of a smiling young woman, her name printed underneath, in lavender script: 

If the name or the photo didn't ring a bell, the text on the envelope certainly did:

The contents of the envelope were no less hyperbolic:

"Dear Fellow American," the pitch begins. "Let me be direct: Obama's ally ACORN is trying to destroy me."

This is the main thrust of the four-page fundraising appeal by Hannah Giles, the 20-year-old former college student who gained notoriety for posing as a prostitute in the ACORN "sting" carried out with conservative activist James O'Keefe last year.

1. Get your second daddy, Morton Blackwell, to pay for your biz, Missy
What's the matter, Hanna? Did Mr. Leadership leave you hanging now that you're in actual trouble? Or is this yet another ruse designed to line Mr. Blackwell's pockets?

Edited on Mon Feb-08-10 09:02 PM by surrealAmerican
That's so much classier than "unemployed college drop-out".
