"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it."
You know the story by now. Some independent filmmaker and a 20-year-old flatbelly walk into an ACORN office in Baltimore. They're there for some tax help. ACORN, you see, will help people with tax forms ...for a fee. He tells the ACORN workers that he's a pimp and the girl is his prostitute. They need help in reporting her income. The ACORN workers don't bat an eye ... they suggest that she should report here income as a performance artist. Then it gets good. They tell the ACORN staffers that they're bringing in some "very young" girls from El Salvador and the girls will be turning tricks for them. Now understand what we're talking about here .. slavery. These young teens will be held and forced to work as teen hookers for this guy. What did the ACORN workers do? They offered some advice to the "pimp" and his "prostitute" on how to hide these girls and get some tax write-offs for their care.
This is ACORN folks. These are the people who are under investigation throughout the country for voter fraud. These are the people who nurtured our President as he community activated his way to the White House. These people are crooks. Their very reason for being is to destroy the fabric of our country in order to prepare us to be a nation of government.
What did ACORN have to say when the video surfaced? They called it "gotcha journalism." What in the hell does that mean? I guess it means that a journalist checks out an organization that is receiving boatloads of public funds to see what they'll do if presented with a clear-cut plan for sex slavery and child exploitation. Then the journalist finds that the organization seems willing to actually help the bad guys get away with their scheme! Then the journalist spreads the word ... and this is "gotcha journalism?" Well then I guess you can say that I love "gotcha journalism."
Oh ... and ACORN fired the two workers that were involved in this mess. But don't expect anything to change here. It will be ACORN business as usual. And prosecution? Are you kidding? Do you think that the federal government would even consider prosecution for aiding and abetting? Are you forgetting who's in the White House and who is running Justice?

Outrageous ACORN Strikes Again
What is ACORN not involved in? Is there anything that ACORN does that isn't revolting, illegal, sinister or manipulative? And, all on my (and your) taxpayer dollars! How could so many Americans vote for such a Marxist/Socialist, who had a very thin resume and was associated with this group? Without taxpayer dollars, ACORN would cease to exist. Not, that's an idea: Cut the federal funding of ACORN and similar groups.
James, it's not as bad as you paint...
though it's still bad. This morning, all of the MSM had reported this, at least online. CNN had a link to a story on the front page, while all the rest you had to dig. Deep. Even after the digging, you had reports like this one from CBS.
Think it's watered down and slanted? Bet you think so even more when you realize this was taken from an AP report, that while still watered down and arguably slanted, at least reported the child sex trading and included a link to the video.
If you dont think ACORN, SEIU and all these unions are controlling our politicians, then just listen to Andy Stern, president of the SEIU, who said, "We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama-$60.7 million, to be exact-and we're proud of it."
James ain't it amazing, none of this info anywhere on MSM? It's a shame really. They are supposed to be the watchdog for America. They are the main reason we have the First Amendment. They are our line in the sand against tyranny.
They are currently too busy practicing CYA with Washington.
One More Thing...
Has anyone noticed that ACORN seems to be organized to isolate those at the top from the thugs and criminals they hire on the bottom? The top always seems to claim they new nothing about what a few seasonal employees were doing. They throw a few bottom feeders under the bus and keep on rolling. It is curious to note that those at the top of the NAZI party always claimed the same with their bottom fish too. Yet, that party would not have gotten into power without the actions of the thugs below. Watch out America, ACORN will bring you down quicker than socialism.
Media Lies and Manipulates
I just checked CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC, you could not find information on these ACORN thugs. At best were CNN and ABC, which had small blurbs under political news tabs. But I had to search hard for them. Nothing was evident from the national news sections or their homepages. I could not find anything on MSNBC. When an organization with as much tax dollars and power as ACORN has employees engaged in corruption that is not reported is a travesty. No the man by the people he surrounds himself with. Who surrounds himself with ACORN?
....But Wait!
Precedent has been established that ACORN's activities are legal. They are only using the Geithner and Wrangel Tax Program for Idiots! The IRS and Justice Dept will only look the other way.
None of this will change anything
The leftist infestation of the USA is so severe and complete, there will be no consequences except to those immediately involved and once the spotlight is off, maybe not even to them. Moreover, once the dinosaur media gets their first chance to sweep it under the rug, they will and suddenly you won't hear about it anymore...it might hurt "The ONE". The left will just dismiss and deny saying these occurrences are only small aberrations, that ACORN is really a stand up organization, etc...
Tax help!
This is far deeper then just 2 acorn people(now 2 more in a D.C. office). Every client that these offices have helped in the past will be REQUIRED to be investigated for tax fraud ect. The Justice Dept. must investigate!
Gavin et al (of the same ilk)
There's undeveloped and THEN there's underdeveloped. Undeveloped indicates that there is still a chance that further development can possibly occur. Underdeveloped usually leads one to believe that no further development will be taking place. I try to decipher all of the posts that appear on this site and find some sort of reasoning to attach to any and all of the postings. I'll have to admit, some of the posters cause me to pause and question whether or not there isn't some sort of synaptic interference taking place or in the case of t-shirt, already taken place. Gavin, your frontal lobe is, apparently, one of the UNDERDEVELOPED portions of your febrile and finite area just above and immediately behind the viewing receptors. Snark, maybe you're still developing and there "might" be a glimmer of reason still to be found within you. I realize that there's a tremendous amount of subjectivity posted here and elsewhere each day, BUT, when it's as clear as this incident and the hand that's in the proverbial cookie jar is clearly attached to your arm; the stuttering and stammering is no longer going to suffice. By the way, Gavin, Snark, et al, If you continue to try to defend this and lambaste those that try to provide the facts so that we may make up our own mind, then you're probably beyond being capable of reason and will continue to lose face and credibility with your fellow posters!
Joyce's link to Kevin Jackson
Thanks for the link Joyce - I did not know of this man. I'll have to give it a better lookover this evening.
damn it.....................................
I forgot to say...............
if yo' be agin acorn youz a racist..............
ACORN Snakes
Fired only because they were busted.
gubmint edjukated???????????
can anyone spel........ RICO........I don't think the attorney general can...
Snark
I guess this is why I am so bothered by ACORN/SEIU and the rest:
Hopefully he now sees he cannot count on them to help him further his agenda. If he does, and leaves them out of his future plans, then yes, this is not as important as we think it is.
ENTRAPMENT!
This is entrapment. The journalists should be locked up for this.
PIMPCORN
If there was a Fairtax, and no IRS, then there would be no need to give pimpalicious tax advice!
Shuttin Down
Maybe not, immediately after the show, they had Kevin Jackson on, and he has no love for ACORN. He calls this just another form of slavery from the left.

ACORN
Association of Criminals Organized to Ruin the Nation
Joyce
Maybe. But you know as well as anybody that this thing will go "nuclear racial" before it's over. Fox and any other investigating organizations will be the ones under the scope for prejudiced or biased investigative reporting. Wait and see...
Way to objectify and dismiss...
She's not a 20-year old flatbelly, she's a 20 year old journalism major college student who's already doing better work in this field than all of them males bozos in MSM could ever dream off. Perhaps there is some hope for the future.
done
I would be the first to say that Acorn is no where near the "boogey man" organization people like Beck and Boortz and Hannity make it out to be. And I still think it's linkage to the president is absurd.
BUT - if there are two videos of their staff members coordinating illegal activities in different states?
They're done...they will not be around much longer. And deservedly so.
this defies common sense and basic lawfulness. and, sadly, it probably is a symptom of larger problems within that organization.
according to CNN, this ruse failed in many acorn offices but, no matter.
I mean, truly - given what the tapes show and these stories are saying - the entire organization should now be investigated.
it' fry day DAMN IT!!!!!
this line came from TYPICAL WHITE GUY....I think....if I'm wrong oooooops sorry........
from tiny ACORNs mitey MARXISTs grow....
forgot who sent this one butt....words to live by....... red is positive, black is negative, make sure his balls are wet........

now git yo' asses off my computer screen and go outside and play wit' sumbuddy.......Tshirt....not yo'se'f.....damn it boy.....
ACORN
From a little nut a mighty farce grows.
Acorn
I love Acorn. I know now how to ghet my Hoes from Afrika into the country.
Obamuppet infiltration
Acorn obviously has permeated the fabric of our country. And my don't they feel emboldened with President Obamuppet in charge.It's beginning to look like "I Elected the Mob". This group needs to be shut down.
@Gavin
Gavin....are you happy that your hard-earned dollars are funding this organization?
If so, then you either have no ethics, or no common sense. Time and time again this group is involved in shady dealngs. They are trash, through and through.
Gavin
You might be right if this was the first and only instance of wrong doing. There have been accusations in New Orleans, Las Vegas, Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore, etc, etc.
How many more do you need before you realize this is a serious trend. And they are a division of the same group as SEIU. CCI in New Orleans is their home office. All the money that ACORN, SEIU and the other outfits (over 160) goes to CCI first who then dishes it back out. Problem is, the amount coming back out does not seem to be adding up and there are people on the inside looking into where that money is going.
There's a second video, with the same undercover scheme and similar results at a different Acorn office.
Gotcha Journalism
... is when you catch a Liberal so red-handed that they can't use the "taken out of context" defense.
Second Video Shows ACORN Officials Helping 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' in Washington Office
Well I'll be Gavin. Another video is released about another Acorn office in DC helping this same "pimp" and "prostitute" to funding for housing for an illegal business
GavinYou're kidding, right?
Please tell me you posted that with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Because if you're serious, you need to decipher the difference between individual acts and acts by an organization. You think this is the only transgression perpetrated by ACORN? You have corruption by this group all over the place. It's not just "2 individuals", it's an entire group and they're getting billions in our tax dollars to do it.
ACORN fired the TWO INDIVIDUALS
Acorn's treachery is not isolated. Many of their members have been convicted of voter fraud all across the country, most recently in Florida. Also don't forget about the high morals of Bill Clinton and John Edwards
This Will All Be Swept Under The Rug
It's funny isn't it? All the crap Bush and Cheney took about Haliburton for cronyism even though Haliburton was first contracted by Clinton yet ACORN who has been exposed time and time and time again to being a crooked organization and the libs and their useful idiots in the media don't bat an eye. Let's face it, in today's political world, there is going to be some back slapping and cronyism. Until we start electing people with honest ethics(if there are any) it's going to continue. However, there's a difference between a no bid government contract and down right violation of the law. What those Black Panthers did was a violation of the law. It was quickly swept under the rug by Obama's justice department. Richardson's pay to play scandal; Swept under the rug. SEIU thugs beating people up at town halls; Swept under the rug. And this ACORN nonsense will be swept under the rug. However, CIA interrogation investigation; full steam ahead. The good news is that apparently there is more dirt that is going to be dug up on ACORN. Megyn Kelly said that there is something pretty big on the horizon. But rest assured, unless someone's hand is really caught in the cookie jar this too will be dismissed and swept under the rug. Thanks to all of you who voted in this person.
The gloves need to stay off
Your right Ed, and they need to stay off. We need to get rid of the Rhino Apologists like McCain and use the Teabaggers to "organize" the conservative community to defeat Acorn and all other radical goons
2 stories, 2 standards
In one newz story, Boortz reminds us not all MUSLIMS are terrorists, but in this story, he does not apply that standard to ACORN. ACORN fired the TWO INDIVIDUALS responsible for this.
To say this is business as usual for ACORN is like saying everyone who still drinks GOP kool-aid is as blind to the truth as Limbaugh and Hannity; as arrogant as Cheney and Rumsfeld; as perverted as Larry Craig and Mark Foley; and as family oriented as Mark Sanford.
Our president is more corrupt than we know
And it's finally coming in such waves that it will be harder and harder to ignore. This fraud criminal organization (there is nothing quasi- about it, Ubiquitous) cheated their man's way into office and now we have an idiot savant socialist running our nation. I am also surprised how stupid so many black peoeple are...do these women in the video not see the sick irony of selling underage girls into sex slavery when compared to the giant (in their mind) issue of slavery that ALWAYS COMES UP in any discussion involving black people at all. Shut ACORN down, there's nothing good about it.
How many more?
How many more "actual businesses" were set up by this organization? How many more offices helped actual people set up businesses like this?
Your tax dollars at work! Is there any wonder why people don't want the government in their health-care? I suppose the lack of oversight here was also Bush's fault.
oops
I guess I don't read the comments as often as I think. My bad!
Acorn creeps
Hey maybe these ACORN 'tax consultants' can go to work for UBS and give tax advice to some well heeled clientele!
These slaves from El Salvador
It looks to me like some of those slaves are already here and being whored out. Stan Gable and his clan are really turning tricks around here!!
more Coming?
Nice pun.
Ha.
Seriously, I sure hope so, Joyce. The gloves need to stay off. Like it or not, this has never been a fair fight (think about how our lesser of two evil candidates have gotten the nod in the past few Presidential elections. Libs voting en masse in "Republican" primaries) and we need to adopt their scumbag rules if we can't win the littlest scraps if there isn't anyone capable of doing the dirty work.
brett
brett, if you had been around long enough you would see that Stan's #1 Fan is actually someone making fun of Stan Gable who has posted here a ton of times. It's a joke.
ACORN and the like
ACORN and those many Parasitic organizations like it, are the representative fabric of the socio/political system established by our own federal and state governments. Community Organizations, however they may originate, are designed to continually Feed off the seized taxpayer dollars as they peddle political influence and deepen their infiltration of the government systems. Both political parties are fully Guilty of social engineering federal programs, legislation, policies and most importantly, Tax Dollars, to the favor of these criminally corrrupt thugs. It is our politicians own self-interest that has assisted in the perpetuated growth of these organizations. How secure can an average American citizen feel with the former ACORN instructor, Obama, as president; and the gross imbalance of power seated in congress? yrb8x
Stan
My God...I think you would defend concentration camps if Obama was the one setting them up. Have you no common sense at all? None?
What do you expect...
from a morally and intellectually bankrupt group like ACORN. They are the lapdogs of Obama and they would LITERALLY do anything in support of him including ANYTHING to undermine the Constitution and the rule of law. Snarkybird will surely avoid this thread. He/she doesn't want none of this. I am sure he/she is scouring over all the lib message boards looking for a way to spin this. There is no spin. This IS what it IS.
Stan's #1 Sychofant
hey Fan.. point out the part where the Acorn workers called the police after the pimps and hoes left. They're only heroes in your pathetic little mind.
Black American loves Acorn
Want to sell drugs and get away with it - Contact Acorn Pimp, whore or meth addict? - Contact Acorn
These are the people that helped elect the current clown. When the GOP retakes control in 2012, I hope step #1 is to shut off any and all money going to ACORN and throw its founding members in prison.
if only it was October
If we were closer to Halloween, I think we would see a lot of guys dressed up in pimp costumes with a big ACORN button on the front. Alas, memories will fade and within a week ACORN will slink back under their rock to resume their sleaze.
Acorn
I just want to see more of the flatbelly
Agree
I agree with Phil. No outrage by Congress? How about this? No more funding to ACORN until their books are audited? Or would that make too much sense? Or can they not multitask by debating health reform and pursuing ACORN?
I can see why the dp wants acorn to help with the census.
Don't be surprised if there are a lot of first names more suitable for a pet in dp districts, and they experience higher population growth than expected.
Gotcha Journalism
I am sure that just about everyone has heard of Chris Hansen and his little Dateline series "To catch a predator". Here we have police and "fake" minors catching perverts through sting operations and no one yells, "Hey thats gotcha journalism" when it clearly is, that's the whole point, right? Hey, we gotcha, loser. But heaven forbid it be some black ACORN workers getting caught clearly helping these people break the law. Chris Hansen and NBC are basically portrayed as heroes in the battle against child pornography/molestation, but the journalists who "got" ACORN are irresponsible "gotcha journalists". Just a wee bit hypocritic if you ask me.
Racist attack
I agree with Stan. What you neocons seem to forget is that this guy portrayed himself as a criminal mastermind who lived in the underground, so what were these Acorn employees supposed to do? Tell them no and to bring in the cops to arrest them? Yea, great idea. That would only get them killed by, oooh i dunno, 5pm!
The best way to handle people like this is exactly as Acorn did: go along with it. Help them out, pretend to be their buddies, and then once they are gone you contact the police. Heck, in this situation by waiting so that the underage girls to make it to America and move to his brothel you'd possibly bring down the entire structure,
These Acorn employees are heros, but because they are of Africamerica you hillbillies paint them in the worst possible light. I supposed you all would have run into that conference room like a bunch of cowboys and saved the day, huh?
Ed Davis
Maybe not, several of the Fox people (sure won't hear any of this from MSM) have hinted there is more coming. I'm betting they have people inside already.
And remember folks, ACORN is tied very closely to SEIU. It's corruption from New Orleans all the way to the White House.
ACORN
Looks like they will be needing a good lawyer, they don't have one since PresBO was elected...
And prosecution? Are you kidding?
I heard there two ho's got a job offer from Tim Geitner to do his taxes
ACORN
An organization of thugs.
Acorn
It is somewhat surprising that virtually all media excepting Fox and Boortz are even mentioning this case. Jamie Dupree isn't even discussing this?
know when to hold emHKCFC
Although the thread of corruption and potential for serious abuses of power is obvious to many people, they may have played this hand too soon. It'll be tough to uncover anything that shows pervasive corrution re: Acorn in the future now that they'll all be on high alert.
This will be brushed off and ignored by the party of "love thy neighbor but keep God out of this Country". Guilt by association only works for Liberals when attacking their opponents.
acorn
Can acorn help me buy a house so I can sell crack ?
acorn
Now we know what obama meant when he said "... got to have skin in the game".
ACORN
Why hasn't this quasi-criminal organization been shut down already?
