This makes we wonder about the amount of worm in that apple not being large enough to put the whole org at need of cleaning house.
I think people are drawing bogus parallels with the ACORN video.
In the case of the ACORN video, the ACORN employees were actually providing advice on how to do illegal things.
In the case of the Planned Parenthood videos, the Planned Parenthood employee was only pointing out how the organization could legally help people, while trying to avoid supporting anything illegal.
Giving money to a drunk to get a meal, even if you suspect he might be violating vagrancy laws, is not at all the same thing as telling him how to rob a store.
that video has been totally debunked

The ACORN videos weren't "debunked," the words of the ACORN employees are self-explanatory. Any undercover video needs to be edited to fit time constraints. By the way, Wikipedia is not really a credible source for anything political, because such entries can be written by anyone and can propound any political position the author desires.
The Congress made its decision, and the federal courts upheld that decision, and ACORN lost its federal funding, which is exactly what should have happened. Unfortunately, it just changed it's name and went right back into business, thanks to Obama's support for Progressive redistributionism and entitlement programs.
