The past week’s hullabaloo over videos that expose the liberal nonprofit ACORN agreeing to aid and abet underage prostitution, illegal immigration and more reminded me of another undercover expose right before the election last fall.

You wouldn’t have known it from the sparse media coverage, but ACORN was the subject of much controversy back then, too, just as it has been for years. So Jason Mattera, who works for the conservative Young America’s Foundation and as a video entertainer for the blog Hot Air, decided to have some fun at ACORN’s expense.

He hit the streets as a fictional representative for ACORN’s sister organization, WALNUT, and asked people to sign a petition so “oppressed classes” could vote more than once. Mattera’s video was supposed to be a spoof, but in hindsight, it’s almost prophetic. Prostitutes were among the oppressed classes whose rights he wanted to protect.

That tidbit is revealed in the first video. The meaning of WALNUT is disclosed in the second clip.
