If it comes to that, an under-age victim of trafficking has no less need and no less right to medical treatment for STD than, say, a cavorting congressperson or merry-making megachurch pastor. Using tactics like this to damage charitable organizations that provide such care is truly despicable.
Surely the link in the article to a tweet at Henry Kissinger must be a fake. Judging by the tweets in the account: http://twitter.com/#!/Henry_Kissinger, and judging by his "followers" (Rob Mugabe, Kim Jong Il and so forth) it's just for fun.
Really good satire, but it isn't Kissinger...
The whole affair was well-documented to be a hoax, from O'Keefe dressing like a pimp to the selective, heavy editing of the video

The website, FollowtheMoney, documents the contributions by corporations to political parties for the last 11 years on <a href="http://www.followthemoney.org/database/IndustryTotals.phtml?PHPSESSID=30b4df7dcd87bd874e640d248f61ca40&f=C&s=0">this</a> web page. It shows that Democrats received more from corporations than Republicans did in 9 of those 11 years.
The problem is not JUST the Democrats or JUST the Republicans, it is BOTH parties. The majority of BOTH parties have sold their soul, our country and our Constitution to corporate and non-profit lobbyists in exchange for MASSIVE amounts of cash to ensure their own re-election. Not only did they take those BRIBES (because that is exactly what a "campaign donation" is since politicians can, upon retiring, convert their "campaign warchest" into personal use) they also BRIBE the voters by using "earmarks". My Senator, Ben Nelson, has earmarked $1.8 BILLION dollars for Nebraska, which is about $1,000 per man, woman and child in the state. The corruption is so complete some offices are considered part of a politician's estate, to be passed on to their anointed heir. Most politicians don't arrive in office as millionaires, but most leave office as such. Not a bad trick on less than $250,000 per year. And if they retire from office they have a very nice income for the rest of their life, along with an annual 10% cost of living raise and a complete medial package that has no co-pay or exclusions. And, those benefits pass to the spouse when the politician dies. Politicians don't eat their own dog food. If their terms in office were limited, they had to pay into and use the same social security retirement system that the taxpayers are forced to use, buy their own health insurance, and they could not "retire" from office and receive what current politicians get, perhaps, just perhaps, this nonsense would stop.
President Obama won an overwhelming mandate from the voters to institute single-payer universal health care in this country. The Democrats had a majority in both houses, a setting president, and a willing Supreme Court. Yet, he lost that battle. Why? Because his OWN PARTY sold him out in exchange for lobbyists contributions.
This amendment, or measures suggested by the "Fix Congress First" website, are an imperative if the citizens of this country are going to get their country back. Otherwise, it will be more faux grass-roots movements like the "Tea Party", a Republican scam, driving us to make our government the complete Cabal it almost is now.

"O'Keefe's video led to the ACORN's downfall before it was revealed as a hoax."
This is simply not true, it was never shown to be a hoax. Please check your sources.
