6. His argument was that by getting them into friendly media hands
i.e. Right wing radio jerks, they would be protected from character assassination - because the right wing wouldn't bother with it, and the left wing would ignore them because it was just more right wing radio blather - in that way, a stealth attack, the tapes get out there without being looked at too closely until enough were out there that ACORN would be seriously damaged.

I do remember people bringing them up on this website were attacked initially. And the mainstream media ignored them, as well as our own media sites. So I guess the strategy worked.
