there’s another ACORN prostitution tape… UPDATE
By American Girl in Italy on September 11, 2009 at 2:01 PM in ACORN, Bailouts, Sara in Italy, Stimulus Plan
In case you missed Amy’s earlier story, Want To Open A Brothel? Ask ACORN How! UPDATED!!! please read it. ACORN employees in Baltimore were videotaped offering advice on how to set up a brothel, and how to handle 13 year old prostitutes. Glenn Beck covered this Thursday night, also interviewing the woman who posed as a prostitute.
Following the airing of the these videos ACORN issued this: ACORN Maryland board member Margaret Williams said the video was an attempt to smear ACORN, and that undercover teams attempted similar setups in at least three other ACORN offices.
Now there is a second video, from a different office, with different ACORN employees. This is the DC ACORN office.
This corruption was discovered by a brave 20 year old young lady. Can you IMAGINE the corruption that could be revealed if actual investigators looked into this?
How the heck is this an attempted smear? If it weren’t so pathetic, it would be funny how people think using their own words can be considered smears.
“Yes. But let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we’re going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. (cheering) We’re going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda of the next presidency of the United States of America!”

“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drives in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”
~Obama as quoted on his own campaign website, at an ACORN meeting.
Here’s a little refresher on ACORN:
And here’s an oldie but a goodie:
Your tax dollars hard at work!
UPDATE: Major Garrett just tweeted:
MajoratWHBreaking: Census director tells ACORN in letter all ties to group being severed for data collection as part of 2010 census.









































“If it weren’t so pathetic, it would be funny how people think using their own words can be considered smears.”
Yes, what is up with that! If I film you saying something illegal/immoral/offensive and put it on Youtube, “smear” isn’t the applicable term.
Try “busted”.
LOL!
Isn’t this all racist? Black people are making black people look bad. Oh, no it’s white hookers and pimps making black people look bad. Yes, it’s racism. That is all it can be!
SNARK!
CNN’s report on this story:
Be careful. You never know when someone might be videotaping you.
Huh? ACORN was assisting a pimp and prostitute to set up house.
And CNN was worried about it being TAPED?????
Good news! The census was taken away from ACORN this afternoon. Halleluia! Someone exhibiting common sense!
I was just going to post that the census bureau broke all ties with ACORN and informed fauxPOTUS tonight! Victory dance going on right now!
What’s more unbelievable is that Maryland’s DA just released a statement about prosecuting the people that made these tapes and sending them to jail for 5 years. Not the Acorn employee’s.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Best news yet! So liberating!
I take it all back. Barry really is creating jobs!!
you people are killing me!
This is Bo’s very own “HOs for BROs” advocacy group.
I wonder if there will be more of these “Hos for Bros” undercover videos out there. What were the other cities that ACORN spokeswoman said these two “gotcha” reporters tried to do this at? Was DC one of those listed. I hope we get to enjoy more of these hilarious videos from every city she listed.
These two fine young people are brave and fearless to do this. Shame on the professional reporters for not being brave enough to do the job that these two are doing.
ROTF!
:LOL:
Not to mention all the “spin off” jobs like mattresses, condoms etc.
THat’s right in this jobless economy i’m sure there will be plenty of new preforming artist out there.
And that, my friend, equals a whole lot of stimulus packages.
You guys are cracking me up!
WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO SHUT DOWN THIS GROUP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are evolving……
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/acorns-latest-lawbreaking/
THANKS FOR INFO
closed them down??? are you kidding??!! they are going to be obamas private army that will be (in his own words) “as powerful and well funded as the military” does anyone wonder why he needs this? could it be to try and staunch the coming revolution? why is no one talking about this?? btw they will also be coming to your door to take the census.
Good news today…see below. ACORN has been taken out of the process per the Census Bureau.
We would be much better off if the Democratic and Republican parties were shut down.
Ditto…Both parties are corrupted! Greed, power, BIG MONEY! There is a need for a third party. Both parties need to go down. The evil has become so systemic that they don’t even listen to the citizens!
Exactly. Corrupt and foolish, pretending the dems were not complicit in voting last administration(against our best interests, including the one when he was a senator and could bother to show up), republicans pretending there wasn’t a push from their side during the primary to get rid of Senator Clinton at all costs. I don’t trust either side. Wouldn’t surprise me if they had a backroom deal to just keep switching it back and forth- job security for themselves, and lining their pockets. There isn’t one bit of true legislation happening. The only special interest group that should matter is the us population as a whole. If they think divide and conquer worked on us, how about we give them a taste of it right back. Just waiting for a real third party candidate that is from this planet, and has a brain as well as a heart.
Yes, both parties are functionally the same right now as they are both just in it for themselves and their cronies. Neither party cares for us regular people anymore. We are functionally not represented right now. Republicans initially thought Obama would be easier to defeat, so they did help him at the expense of Hillary. Then they thought McCain was the same as Hillary so they helped stick us with Obama knowing what was coming. They may regain the house and senate by doing this, but they no longer represent us anymore than the new democrats do. Right now we are on our own. We are all a people without a party, whether we recognize it or not.
Truer words were never spoken. And some day soon, I hope both those parties are without people. They can pontificate to each other. I’m done with the entire lot.
Everyone Please Read
Joe Wilson needs our help they are trying to hang him
Call your congress man

Oh for pete’s sake, don’t they have anything better to do? Oh, wait, that’s right, they are trying to set up a totalitarian government, and in such a government there is no room for dissent…
But what is going to happen when those that are illegal aliens today are on the plan in a couple of years? Of course, in a couple of years the vernacular “illegal alien” will no longer exist. It may be undocumented Americans, or maybe guest Americans… but to the point “illegal aliens” won’t be on the plan… that won’t make the statement any less a lie. This administration is going to ram this down the collective throats of America… because they know what is best for us. No, they don’t think we deserve freedom and we may just prove them right. Time will tell.
Actually, the new name for “illegal alien” will soon be “Democratic voter”.
You see California already tried to get the illegal immigrants off their social services.
Look at prop 87.
IT was deemed unconstitutional. Shouldn’t Obama know this as a Constitutional Lawyer and Professor.
I recall the California ad about “happy cows”… Maybe it should be happy immigrants come from California… and the field mice have it pretty good too.
Doceider if the “happy cows”… are happy the milk is free,
Jobs Healthcare Education, BO?
Yep, Prop 187 was passed with 60+% of the voters to cut off benefits to illegals and was tossed out by an activist judge.
Hell, why not get *really* PC with some pseudo-scientific word like proto-American.
Or some play on the words first generation… maybe seed Americans. They can be portrayed more patriotic than us as well… since they “chose” to be here as opposed to having been actually born here.
Nicely done, Docelder.
How about “Phoretic Americans”?
Another one well done.
How about Americons?
Damp Dorsals
So what if they ‘punish’ Wilson. The most they can do is censure him or publicly embarrass him. It’s only going to make him look like the only honest member of the house!
He will continue to be a Congressman and there’s nothing the Dems can do about it. I only hope he is empowered by the strength of the donations flooding in to him!!!
Well Joe Wilson owes no apology. He blurted out the truth. Healthcare to Illegals is in the bill.
The story is all over the net how the dems are trying to close that truth that illegals are going to get healthcare. This is not mistake. This is the Alinsky style of breaking the bank by swelling the entitlement rolls. You can read the story at patriot room.
Last 2 reports on Rep Wilson. He’s raised either 700+k or 1 million. I don’t know if one is more current than the other. His challenger raised 800+k but has a 400k debt to pay off
OMG! Did you hear the news? Joe Wilson raked in 750,000 in donations in 48 hours!
HAAAAA!
Take that, Mr. Liar Obama!
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitol-briefing/2009/09/scs_wilson_rakes_in_750000_in.html
Can I actually donate to a Republican for the first time in my life?
Yes I Can!
Hope! Change! RICO!
Was it Hoover that promised a chicken in every pot?
Obama can promise a brothel in every neighborhood.
This certainly gives new meaning to the phrase “Drill here, drill now”.
drill baby drill!
We have so many resources right here in America. The biggest reserve we know we have was found just off Alaska about 30 years ago. That oil flowed without being pumped and comes up out of the Earth at 150 degrees. There is plenty where that came from. Plenty. It is no longer about the resources, the fight has become about the right to use them. The fight is about rights period. Our rights.
my comment didn’t have anything to do with oil.
;O)
hehe
Oh, I see. That was a flyover to me.
Is K.Y. jelly derived from petroleum? Just wondering.
And they just found millions of gallons in the Gulf of New Mexico.
Let’s drill until we can be free of the Middle East.
THEN figure out new sources of energy.
Until we’re free of the OPEC scum, we will always be beholding to the Saudis.
British Petroleum and 250 miles off Texas. Were it that we could drill our own oil. It is going to be embarrassing when China figures out to drill 200 miles off of Alaska. They will then be what we once were.
Yeah–and along with that:
a bureaucrat in every physician’s office,
an IRS agent in every home and business
an obamabot on every website
a person under every bus
a speech during every waking hour and an er and ah for every um and uh
a scapegoat for every mistake
a Czar for every policy
a government position for every obamatron clunker
and you can be assureD that as soon as he rams obamacare down our throats he will appoint a “HEALTHCARE CZAR” WHO CAN THEN BYPASS CONGRESS SO HE WONT HAVE TO KEEP ANY OF HIS B/S PROMISES.
A “voter” in my office just told me “Congress works for the President!”.
“Please, never vote again” popped out of my mouth before I could think. It sort of hung there in the air, and then people moved on.
With this electorate I think we have no hope. We will vote ourselves into a banana republic and people like these Acorns will run the place.
This has been a long time in the making. It started with our educational systems and it has led us here. It will take a generation to undo the damage that has been done… if we have it in us to do that.
you did not?!!? Hilarious!!!
69,000,000 were duped and are only now coming to realize it. Don’t, however, expect them to ever admit they were had. In a couple of years, no one will admit to having voted for him.
check this out! We can at least get the bums out of our house!
http://www.goooh.com
HC123, perchance you could get one of those Pocket Constitutions that are so popular on the Senate and house floor?
I mean the ones that are filled with blank pages? Give it to the Voter to read and “wait for it”.
They ask you why the pages are blank. You can take from there.
Hope there are other tapes as well from other offices: what foul group of individuals ACORN is.
They’re NUTS!
hahahaha
And work for a truly seedy organization.
There’s a kernel of truth in that.
ok, seriously people. you are cracking me up.
You DO know that you just made a nut joke, right?
NO! hahaha I didn’t. I am So funny and didn’t know it. hahahah
Touche, Onofre’s Arm.
The radicle grows into the primary root in a seed. The key functions of a seed are dispersal to a new location and dormancy during unfavorable conditions.
SOunds like these boobs, all right.
Job description for the IRS: Community orgasmisers.
You mean like group gropers-el yucko.
Does anyone remember what other cities were cited by that ACORN spokeswoman who said that these fine brave reporters tried to play “gotcha” reporting in but did not succeed? Was DC one of those cities that ACORN listed on Thursday? I hope we get to see a “gotcha” report from each one of those cities. This is just way too good to stop watching.
these videos are so bizarre, too, because the *prostitute and pimp* are so comically stereotypical in dress. but it doesn’t phase the ACORN workers.
Discernment does not appear to be one of their strong suits.
Intense pressure needs to be put on the AG to investigate (with oversight) and institute RICO proceedings against ACORN and every off shoot of ACORN, irregardless of any new name they come up with. This criminal, unAmerican organization is huge and since the mainstream media won’t investigate, it’s going to be up to FOX, the public and the Republicans in Congress to expose this slime to the sunlight.
Not until the public understands that it’s not just about fudging your taxes or even setting up prostitution rings, but is about the destruction of democracy and the takeover of the country by criminals, will the people stand up and demand an end to this lawlessness and baseless racism coming from Obama’s cronies. I’ve already been talking about it to people who aren’t political and their response has been gratifying. Without exception, they are horrified and outraged!
ACORN’s spermatazoa logo makes so much more sense to me, now.
Rep. Boustany (R-LA) Calls for ACORN Investigation
by Publius
Boustany Calls for Hearing to Investigate ACORN Tax Filing Assistance following Disturbing Undercover Video
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Charles W. Boustany, Jr., (R-Southwest Louisiana), today called for a hearing to investigate the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and their tax filing assistance programs following evidence of suggested tax fraud.
“In light of the apparent flagrant and willful attempts to suborn tax fraud, I ask you to schedule a hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee as soon as practicable to investigate ACORN’s activities in providing tax advice and tax preparation services, as well as whether ACORN has conducted activities inconsistent with the requirements for retaining tax-exempt status under Code section 501(c)(3),” Boustany said. “These serious allegations involve the administration and enforcement of our Federal tax laws, which fall directly under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Oversight.”
Boustany, Ranking Member of the Oversight Subcommittee for the House Ways and Means Committee, has jurisdiction over tax policy and the Internal Revenue Service.
The full letter follows:
http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/11/rep-boustany-r-la-calls-for-acorn-investigation/
Well you do know American girl, that the left already started smearing Boustany due to his opposition rebuttal to Obamas speech the other night? He is a cardiac surgeon & settled 3 malpractice suits in his 20 years of practicing so therefore he’s a quack incompentent liar and therefore not qualified to rebute anyone or anything per many Kool Aid drinkers.
So sadly, I don’t expect his call for an investigation to get much play other than negative comments from the same group who already smeared his professional reputation as a doctor.
That is the point to be made for tort reform. You don’t have to be negligent to be sued… anybody can sue anybody at anytime they want. There is no recourse to the loser… if these even go to trial. It is expensive to be right in court and doctors have no control how these suits are settled usually and they are settled out in the most cost efficient way. Sometimes that means paying out for suits that could have been won… albeit more expensively. No matter what people say, tort reform is needed urgently. Not just for doctors, but for manufacturers… for all of us.
And don’t forget who oversees the House Ways and Means Committee – Charlie Rangel. The very one who “forgot” to report HALF of his income.
Somehow, I just can’t see Charlie getting on board with this. I sure hope I am wrong abt that, though…
I might add, y’all are some damn funny people, too! Without your humor, I would be getting ill right abt now…
AGII – you rock!
You know what is amazing is that if you go after the head – Obama, then the legs can follow:
Someone is making an Al Capone of Obama very soon. Tax Evasion case here we come.
How many people want to bet that he will resign like Nixon and say “I am not a crook….”
No you are a snake and wolf in sheep clothing…. LOL!
acorn needs to be shut down
Where would all the pimps and prostitutes go for housing?
I guess they’ld be walking the streets……………….HEY!
I think this is very truly a case of the nut (Acorn) not falling far from the tree (Obama & Chicago thug politics). I hope it comes back to bite both in the butt.
How naive Obama is. He truly thinks that by taking a bath every day and dressing in clean clothes, he is, himself, clean.
One doesn’t need to have an order to still smell to high heaven, and that Obama surely does.
His house of cards is falling every day and with the help of good and honest citizens who have the ability to think for themselves and who have the maturity to not be led like the Obama sheep…and who are willing to call a spade a spade (those chairs you hear scraping the floor are the sounds of racism accusers jumping to their feet!), Obama’s reign of destruction will be ending soon. I predict he will be gone before his 4 years are at an end.
Sorry. That was supposed to be ‘odor’.
Folks with Obama it isn’t about Healthcare, its about bankrupting America. He hasn’t quiet done it yet, so he needs one more scam to get the job done and thats the Healthcare scam.
I think health care, and the environment and stimulus are all trojan horses. It isn’t about any of them really. It is about the 1000 pages of laws which can be passed as emergencies. Which brings us to health care. Since this won’t go into full effect until 2103… what is the rush? Of course the stimulus won’t be spent until the mid term election season and it was a crisis as well. This administration is about the crises… we are being bombarded with one crisis after the next. It won’t stop until these guys are voted out. This is our choice, do we want crises… or do we all want our old ordinary lives back? Pretty simple.
I agree Obama wants to bankrupt the country. What worries me is that all the people who voted for him are never going to wake up. If they do it will be too late.
I think he doesn’t care if we go bankrupt so long as he gets his and his cronies get theirs. I don’t think that bankruptcy is necessary in the plan.
I look at us as a nation almost like a blended dysfunctional family that is having issues and is on the verge of divorce. Each side is grabbing assets and squirreling them away for the coming fight. Nobody cares if we run out of money… they just want to grab as much for themselves as they can.
BO wants BO and that will be expensive for the rest of us.
exactly…he wants to bankrupt us and Nancy is behind all this.
I TRULY BELIEVE OBAMA AND HIS GANG OF THUGS ARE TRYING TO BRING AMERICA TO ITS KNEES. WHEN WE ARE ALL IN DESPERATION MODE, THEN THE GOVERNMENT WILL STEP IN AND “FIX” EVERYTHING AND PEOPLE WILL THEN BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET THEM DO IT. JUST LOOK AT ALL THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE DONE IN JUST THE FIRST 8 MONTHS.I CANT IMAGINE HOW BAD IT WILL BE AFTER 4 YEARS OF THESE THUGS. WE NEED A REVOLUTION. IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN?
UPDATE: ACORN Fires More Officials for Helping ‘Pimp,’ ‘Prostitute’ in Washington Office
Two more ACORN officials were fired Friday after a second video surfaced showing staffers in the community organizers’ Washington office offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel.
The group’s leaders said Friday they were “appalled and angry” at what their staffers had done, but insisted the videos were part of a political “smear” campaign and not representative of the institution as a whole.
“But that does not excuse the behavior of the employees,” wrote ACORN’s president Alton Bennet and executive director Mike Shea. “We have fired them and are initiating an internal review of practices and reminding all staff of their obligation to uphold the highest legal and ethical standards.”
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,549241,00.html
Oh, well, as long as ACORN is looking into it…I mean, really – look at the “legal and ethical standards” they have demonstrated, like embezzlement of over a million dollars. Yep – that’s really being a great role model!!
Btw, someone mentioned this yesterday, too, but these young people, besides being incredibly brave, have also put themselves in harm’s way. I hope they are watching their backs in a big way…This is, after all, a Chicago organization, isn’t it?
Here’s the other thing, as I think abt it – BOTH offices acted like this was nothing new. With all of the “helpful suggestions” these women were making to James (whom they must think is thick as a brick since he kept asking the same questions over and over). In each office, they seemed to have the protocol down pat, did they not?
So, what – is ACORN gonna fire everyone?? (Yes, please!)
The ladies were trying to show off their vast knowledge in the ways of tax and mortgage fraud to the white lawschool student. Gawd are they dumb.
Amy
They are moving fast to deter any further investigative reporting by firing the workers and now “disassociating” ACORN from the census. In tandem with your comment doesn’t it make you wonder that they need to get this off the radar fast because there’s alot worse stuff out there?I mean these employees in the video acted as if this was everyday business as usual.
The whole organization must have gotten away with this kind of operation ever since Obama’s days as community organizer. Now that “one of them” is in the White House, they just assumed they’ll continue to get away with for at least another four years and a few billion dollars.
They are now just realizing what “being thrown under the bus” means. But please, not the bus we are under. Obama will need the whole Amtrak, Sand all the other trains in the country.
initiating an internal review of practices
What just like the 27?
This ground breaking review will seek to answer the nagging question as to why they are getting caught so often and take steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
I LOVE these videos! I hope there are more. These filmakers should consider getting a deal for a new reality TV series; “The Pimp & Ho Show”. Just imagine all of the sponsors they could interest.
Remember Dateline’s ‘To Catch a Predator?’ Were they ’smearing’ these sex perverts? I think not. Except at least the pervs weren’t being given 8 billion dollars of our money to set up whorehouses. If these gutless pols on Capitol Hill don’t shut this criminal org down they will not win reelection-we the people have had it with both sides not standing up to this insanity.
Another thing, Barry,would these service jobs be considered ’shovel ready?’
You could say so, after a fashion–Acorn is ripe for burying and backfilling. Wouldn’t take too much–dig a hole, throw them in, cover the hole-job done.
I got the weirdest e-mail from someone who I don’t know to a site called “politics daily”; referring to this story first then that site. Very strange. Not familiar with the site, and don’t have a clue who the e-mail was from. Think I ended up on a list.
Aside from the racketeering, I was appalled that the two women would tolerate and promote trafficking and prostitution of children (young women).
Bill, I was appalled to listen to one of the women tell them how to cheat on their taxes, word for word, then admit ‘this is how I do mine’. Good, God. So not only are our taxes paying for ACORNs existence, they are not paying their taxes back in for the privilege of employment. To know that all this is going on and to condone and profit off this level of corruption is stunning to me.
You can bet your bottom dollar the IRS is looking into this as we comment here.
Who’s in charge of the IRS Ferd? That’s right, Tiny Tim himself. The ladies were only pulling from his tax cheating playbook. Puting a tax cheat in Treasury has it’s benefits, this could all be ignored, or simply viewed as an isolated event caused by innocent ignorance of the tax and vice laws. And I know ignorance is no excuse, unless you’re an Obamunist.
The IRS Agents won’t be listening to Timm-eh any more than they listened to any other political appointees from any other Administration. It would be rather like screwing with the CIA, except one kills you and the other takes all your money and puts you in a nice cell for a few decades. I think I’d rather be killed, personally.
I should have written “Ignorance is no excuse, but if your an Obama supporter, it’s a prerequisite”.
Not a big issue in the ghetto.
The entire MSM needs to be revampted! Who can believe what you hear from these fat lazy drug addicts???? The coporate controlled puppets with their written down reports??? It is a sad situation……Congress poll numbers are low–MSM is lower. People are just turning away from these corrupt, evil people. They are destroying our system of checks and balances……This country is heading towards a coup or revolution? A very sad state of affairs.
Who will Obama name as the Prostitue Czar? Or will he call it the Pimp and Ho Czar? I can’t believe it this nothing but a corrupt organization, just like Congress and the WH. Obama’s favorite community organizers advising people how to commit fraud. So is this how BO trained his new community organizers to ACORN?
[...] Excerpt from: there’s another ACORN prostitution tape… [...]
This just in: The Census Bureau has cut all ties with ACORN. They will not be involved with any aspect of collecting data.
Good news, for sure but I want to see the entire organization disbanded.
A few more sting operations and I’d say they’re going to be relegated to the ash-heap of history, Martha W.
Could we ask them to take their chief Community Organizer with them? Better sooner than later.
That would be my wish, indeed.
Here’s a link to the story. WOO HOO!
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9ALCUJO0&show_article=1
This is a huge start. This story, the Census Bureau disassociation, will demand more widespread coverage and a little deeper look by the voters and by officials who might actually take some action. It must stay in the news though. Once it fades, the ‘powers that be’ will try to put it back to sleep.
I’d forgotten that Conyers actually called for hearings on ACORN after the primary but said he was told by the ‘powers-that-be’ not to bother.
This could be huge. Please, let it be huge.
Think maybe this young couple has a few more videos tucked in their back pocket? I hope they have protection and that they are reimbursed for what they are doing.
Yes, and where is Blackwater when you actually need them?
It is getting people,willing to look from both sides. I’ll never forgive my old party and I do not forgive republicans who hated then Senator Clinton so bad, they voted for the one. Both sides are complicit.
Katmoon:
That is just not true. I’m sorry, but I don’t know of a single Republican who voted for Obama.
And Rush Limbaugh was trying to get Republicans to vote for Hillary during the primaries! And that’s not a joke.
PLEASE stop clumping all Republicans into one category. I don’t do that to you guys, and until I found this site, I thought every Democrat voted for Obama.
I was wrong. So are you.
I would give my pinky(like the guy who got his bitten off) if Hillary were President over this evil Maobama.
Seriously.
Stop generalizing about people who actually are on YOUR side.
I believe if you go back and re-read Katmoon’s comments again, you’ll find that there was no clumping [sic] all Republicans. In fact, I could not locate the word “all” in her comment anywhere.
If you also look at Katmoon’s comments up-thread, you’ll find the same sentiments posted which criticize both parties and both extremes equally. I happen to concur with those sentiments since there are scoundrels in each group.
And I heartily agree, Ferd.
Both parties are corrupt.
I just get tired of being “clumped” with those loser extremist Republicans. I know, I’m being a bit sensitive about it, but most people here seem to care more about this country than their party,
and that’s how I feel.
And honestly, I personally don’t know ONE Republican who voted for Obama.
They may have stayed home and not voted, and for that alone, they get my disgust.
I didn’t clump,(sic) you. Both parties are complicit.
Then I’m reading into things.
Sorry Katmmoon.
On another topic, I found this in the Canda Free Press.
Obama’s people totally SCREWED Hillary. This information is just bizarre.
And scary.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/14583
I noticed how animated the women in both tapes became…they had hit pay-dirt!
I bet some of their other HOs will be scattering like cock roaches!
Someone may have already said this, and if so, my apologies:
This is not the Acorn That One knew.
Let me hurriedly add that my comment was sarcasm.
ACORN was no Obama! Except when it was. Oops.
LOL
The Census Bureau may be divorcing itself from ACORN, but we should stay alert about who it contracts with to replace them. Will it be ACORN’s newer name (as tzada pointed out) Community Organizers International or some other similar incarnation?
Patience,
There is a site called “liberty Chick”, which has a great deal of information and some documents obtained from the FOIA, all pertaining to this. There are some good pieces of information there, from what I gather so far, I haven’t read it all by any means.
I gotta say though, that “2ND Acorn Tape” was stunning!
This needs to go viral.
Glenn is stunning too! Turn Up The Heat.
They are getting hit from all sides. Insiders (Joe Wilson), 20 yr olds, Catholics, courageous journalists like Beck, Tea Partiers, Constitutionalists, Reppublicans, Democrats, Independents…and more. Could their ship be sinking or have we only just begun. I hope more DC insiders and youth speak up. You can only hold back secrets for so long until they come to the surface.
Census Bureau severs ties with ACORN in 2010 count
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9ALCUJO0&show_article=1
Cool beans. Now to make sure they don’t still get paid… except to do nothing. Correct that… make sure they don’t get paid anything additional to do nothing in the future.
So we now can have a full refund: Send us back our Money Acorn!
Is what I said. Which I stand by.
There was no clumping together of all republicans, but there were quite a few on blogs who pushed and pushed to vote for O instead of Senator Clinton.I remember more than once reading on a republican site a this person “Hated Hated Hated Hillary and Billy Bob, so their vote for O was a vote agianst them. I saw this meme repeated several times.
Both sides savaged Senator Clinton for game.
Yes,and both sides deserve the credit for this mess.
I am AA and I have relatives who live in Chicago. I do not and will never support or vote for Obama. With the advice on “How to Get a House By Lying” from the Acorn playbook, you can all now see how the real etate market and Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac tanked by getting loans for people who couldn’t pay. These people got their start under Obama’s tuteledge when he sued Citibank in Chicago for alleged racial discrimination in housing lending practices. The bank settled out of court in I believe 1998 or 99. This same group has caused people to lose as much as 50% of their 401ks, savings, stocks, etc. They have always been Obama’s right hand and a serious threat to the country.
Community Organizer groups been strong arming bankers for years by reviewing the publicly available HMDA loan data from the banks and then alleging racial inequity and then accepting a voluntary fine in lieu of getting sued. It is somewhat like the old time protection racket. It was always cheaper to pay them off than to be vindicated in court and to have to deal with the publicity and pickets of the organizer street teams.
So true Wisewoman, that is what I was telling wife on our way to have dinner.

Wouldn’t it be sweet if the taxpayers could get back all of the money that has gone to this organization? Or better yet, something like the Feds have for confiscating the assets and property of convicted drug dealers. Heck to liquidate ACORNS’ assets could put a decent dent into paying off the federal deficit.
Unless all the Acorns find work in Vegas, the unemployment numbers are going up.
I am truly starting to feel more confidence in the new group of young people. That woman is only 20. Her friend is not much older. Do you remember those amazing college journalists during the promary in OHIO who dogged ACORN also?
I have to say, too, that my boy was no fool either. We disagreed on who to vote for during the GE. Neither of us would vote for Obama. I did vote for McCain. But he voted for Nader. At least he couldn’t stand O. He saw right away that O was acting like some celebrity superstar, not like a person who should be a leader.
Congrats, Diana. You raised him well.
I didn’t see this one coming:

Viking, I read about that further this morning.
I believe both of the young people involved in this may be considered “employees” as both were interning..not sure on how that plays out; especially if they were going to a public school instead of a private school. Further protection for them may be under the McCaskill Whistle blower protection act, as well as other extensions now added to whistle blowers; especially when it comes to child prostitution. Was there an expectation of privacy in a public office discussing taxes? Hopefully instead of trying to rig the system so ACORN looks like a victim,. the justice system in Maryland will focus on the true crimes being committed by ACORN. There are many whistle blower protections on the books that may in combination superceed what the state has to say.
supersede even, sorry I need more coffee.
It will require the Acorn employees to testify which will subject them to cross-examination. Like Monica Lewinsky they may decide not to testify therefore the cases may be null processed.
Sorry, should have begun with: “If they decide to prosecute…”
But can’t they be re-charged again if null processed, if further evidence found? I am an infant in studying law, but do love making the connections; so just trying to understand this process.
Hmmmmm, Maryland,………..Biden’s state!
I believe that the young man has been an activist for some time, so I don’t think the two of them were unaware of the risks.
The will have the best defense that money can buy, if it comes to that.
Fox is on their side, and this firestorm is spreading across the nation!
Kat-
I am just stunned that Maryland’s State’s Attorney would weigh in with this. Criminal law is not my area but I am pretty confident that there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy in an Acorn office, for starters.
It does make me wonder if the issued statement is an attempt to intimidate the film makers from releasing additional footage from yet another location. That’s some pretty thin ice for state officials to be stomping around on.
I don’t know if there’s more to come or not but it would not surprise me in the least if they’ve got more.
I know Viking; maybe they are in for a penny in for a pound. The seriousness of the child importation/prostitution charges are the big hitters in this; it is not illegal to pose as a pimp or prostitute-in this setting, the ACORN people are not court officers or peace officers, and there was no signing of any contract. but the advising of taxes and how to “handle” the underage future hookers, is a big fish, which far outweighs these issues of privacy for these parasites. Imagine if this was in reverse and the races were on different sides; Al Sharpton would be screaming, O would be yelling about and posturing and Jessie would be downright outraged. This is partially why tort cases and the reform of them has gone nuts; in some cases it has become a means to make a living off of invented slights; making it so much harder for the true cases to be viewed with merit by the public. The real race issues/cases travel far further up the judicial food chain than a mere tort case.
I am also hoping for more, maybe there was a network beyond the two of them. This should be front page and of the utmost concern to each and every voter; yet and of course there is ittle outcry. For those who would encourage and defend ACORN activities, I wish you well, as the tide is turning back on you. Imagine if someone had the guts to do this during the fannie may and freddie mac implosion; maybe we would have found those million dollar connections, before so much was lost.
Florida, D.C. and Maryland. Res Ipsa Loquitor for RICO.
If this group has gone from community organizers to organized crime, THEY should be on the stand spilling their guts!
I think we can ALL agree that Acorn/SEIU are strongly, if not entirely, in the Democrat camp. And I can think of half a dozen more Democrat dominated groups off the top of my head that are also very shady. Can anyone think of similar organizations that are in the Republican camp? Something to consider when choosing party affiliation, at least if you have a speck of integrity.
And yet, Nazi Pelosi labels the Republicans as belonging to the culture of corruption. Go figure.
