The scandal surrounding the left-wing activist organization ACORN has spread to New York, with employees at its Brooklyn office caught on video helping supposed ladies of the night get loans for their dream houses of ill repute.
Rather than reminding the women that prostitution is dangerous and illegal and advising them to change their careers, counselors at the social-services group shockingly offer suggestions on how they can launder their earnings.
[…]
ACORN workers in two other cities, Baltimore and Washington, DC, had already fallen hooker, line and sinker for the hidden-camera sting operation by two conservative activists.
Well, this should ensure an official investigation … right?
Obama’s Acorn connection;
…has not gone entirely unreported, its depth, extent, and significance have been poorly understood. Typically, media background pieces note that, on behalf of Acorn, Obama and a team of Chicago attorneys won a 1995 suit forcing the state of Illinois to implement the federal “motor-voter” bill. In fact, Obama’s Acorn connection is far more extensive. In the few stories where Obama’s role as an Acorn “leadership trainer” is noted, or his seats on the boards of foundations that may have supported Acorn are discussed, there is little follow-up. Even these more extensive reports miss many aspects of Obama’s ties to Acorn.”
Update – Journalists: your moral and intellectual superiors!
I love the outfits they’re wearing. Especially his. Doesn’t it just scream “Fake Pimp”??? It looks like a halloween costume, for crying out loud.
Makes you wonder about the IQ of those ACORNers.
I know what their defense will be.
“We won”.
I never watched Glenn Beck until a week or so ago. I figured I must be missing out on something great, just by all the people who hated him. He is pretty entertaining, but I haven’t seen anything that I didn’t already know, at least not yet.
I just want to thank the lefties for turning me on to this show. It is funnier than the Daily show, which I have not bothered to tune into for a few years now.
Hey, dese pore wimmin jes tryin’ to show the honky how to beats the oppression of da man.
This is why I enjoy being on the Left. The Left runs the brothels and the righites patronize.
I love separating rightoids from their money. Years ago I had a small business and what I observed was righties always wanted to deal cash so they didn’t have to pay tax. When they asked me what the discount was for paying cash I’d increase the price by 30%. When they asked me why; I told them I don’t work for cash because that makes me a tax cheat.
The reporters looked like something out of Starsky and Hutch
not stirred enough.
years ago I had a small business.
What happened NSE, chase off all the working right and had no customers but the freeloading leftists left? or did your grow op burn down LOL.
All I can say about Obama is that the acorn does not fall far from the tree.
Once – could be an isolated incidence, twice – a coincidence perhaps. Three times is a pattern.
Surely Glenn Beck is a little bit crazy though? Perhaps not as crazy as ACORN people, but a screw loose nonetheless?
These Acorn employees seem very knowledgeable about prostitution and how to hide money from the tax man. It takes a lot of experience to be an expert.
not stirred, your entire post is complete fiction and makes no sense.
Your customers pay you in “gold coin”. You then feel “obligated” to hide said “gold coin” earnings from the taxman. Just because they paid you in “gold coin” that cannot be traced.
Sounds like you are a person that cannot be trusted to “do the right thing”. We will skip the discussion on the legitimacy of “taxes” for now. I just wanted to respond to your “current ideas”.
More sad than hilarious.
I think there is more coming.
Not stirred enuf, I can only hope that when CWII breaks out you will be on the front line.
,
pherzen….give us details of Beck having a screw loose. Seems to me that just because you can’t follow his logic, doesn’t mean he has a screw loose. Maybe you have a few rattling around in your head.
Perfectly executed! Great foresight in not just going for a ‘one off’ and having ACORN claim it’s just an abberation. This pair played the long game beautifully.
Drip drip drip – all hail the great sting! Just wish they had of used some Samuel L. Jackson type dialog “This some repugnant sh*t!”
Thanks for setting me straight Mr. Luft. I’ll work to understand Glenn Beck’s logic then I won’t be crazy. You know, dialogue between leftards/liebrals and the right is possible, at least if we have Glenn’s logic to guide us.
Isn’t this typical? The guy exposes three corrupt offices, and he’s the one being investigated. “Freedom is slavery, ignorance is truth”.
She added: “The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to five years.”
A lot of culpable people out there. I wonder if it’s an extraditable offence. Glenn Beck, Kate?
I’ve heard that some more videos are going to be released very soon, but slowly, like Chinese torture (am I allowed to use that expression?).
From the article: Unrelated outrage?
In an unrelated outrage, ACORN was accused of widespread voter fraud during the 2008 presidential election by helping unqualified voters to register.
As in prior videos released by the filmmaking team of James O’Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, employees of the group — which specializes in housing and voter activism — were eager to dispense advice on gaming the system and skirting the law.
Whoops I guess they might be related since they note here – one paragraph later – that Acorn specializes in two things. And being investigated for both. Seem pretty related to me.
Do not underestimate Glenn Beck. There is something serious brewing.
NSE Anytime I pay in cash I find the price before I make the offer. If I pay VISA or whatever the guy pays a fee. I expect cash splits that fee between he and me. I don’t expect much because I still expect a warranty on the quality of work performed. You must have been dealing with union members.
These ACORN pinheads were supposed to do the upcoming U.S. Census. CAN YOU IMAGINE??
Thank God the Census Bureau cut ties with them last week.
But of course, ACORN still has their 8.5 Billion in stimulus cash. To do what, exactly?
Yeah….no discount for cash then—on the plastic it is….
CNR (cash-no-receipt)—is another matter….
Europeans refer to CNR as “black market” or “black money” and have deleveloped this to a fine art-form—-the result of tax happy leftist regimes….
“fell off a lorry—ya know…….”
I wouldn’t bet that ACORN won’t be involved in the census. The BackRoom Gang of the Democrats require, and I mean the word, a corrupt census to enable them to control the 2010 and 2012 elections. Therefore, they need some group such as ACORN, by that name or another name, to carry out this census.
The BRG are aware that there is a growing rejection, by The People, against their agenda of socialist statism. They have absolutely no intention of allowing The People to divert or reject this agenda. Therefore, they must reduce the power of The People.
They have already done this by their ongoing attempts to reduce Congress to a rubber stamp. Obama insists that Congress neither read nor debate ‘his bills’. He wants them passed on the basis of Trust In The Dear Leader. This removes all power from The People.
Obama and the BRG also refuse to recognize the peoples’ dissent; they’ve ignored and/or denigrated the first Tea Parties and have totally, completely, ignored the massive protest on Sept 12 in Washington. Obama’s handlers whisked him away to yet another of his endless, endless teleprompter speech to a pre-packaged adoring crowd.
The MSM are in a quandry; their ideology is primarily left; most of them went the ‘full hog’ for Obama. Their, ahh, profession is supposed to be about the news, but, they are having trouble reporting the FACTS about Obama, and the FACTS about criticism and dissent of and from Obama. So, they remain silent.
This leaves the Internet and blogs and talk radio as the domain for FACTS and criticism.
The BRG Democrats/Obama will try to shut this domain down.
They’ll also try to control the 2010 elections; they aren’t going to give up their statist agenda just because The People don’t want it.
Mr. Beck should be careful, it’s amazing how people exposing corruption of the democrat regime seem to end up dead under myterious circumstances

Tammany version 2009 might not be any different.
Hey Not Stirred, speaking of tax cheats, does registering your ships offshore to avoid paying Canadian taxes count? Probably not if you’re a former finance minister, prime minister, son of a cabinet minister and prodigy of Chairman Mo.
NSE (nor stupid enuf)
I wuz in bus for my self for over 20 years, and call your BS on the tax thing just that,BS
and as far as the whore house thingy, there are enough lefty wives around here who gladly give it away, just for a “MAN” , thusly there would be no need to support your venture:-)))
NSE said: “Years ago I had a small business…..When they asked me what the discount was for paying cash I’d increase the price by 30%.”
LOL!
Are you morally corrupt? Then find a place with ACORN!
Chris in the Bridge.
Anything untoward happens to Mr. Beck?
A truckload of gasoline will end up on the protest fire.
Not “woof” but “WHOOMPH”!
That’ll teach’em not to film any acorns, even those on the ground.
Time to rerun all those pictures of bussed in counter protestors at last month’s town halls. Lots were proudly sporting ACORN T Shirts. ACORNS all over Pelosi’s Astroturf.
NY Mayor Bloomberg voices his perplexity:
“Prostitution is illegal in this state and I don’t know why they would — why an organization like ACORN, who’s trying to encourage voter turnout and voter registration, why they’re getting involved in any of that stuff,” Bloomberg said. “But clearly it’s not appropriate and they shouldn’t have been doing it. Whether they broke a law or not I don’t know. You’ll have to talk to the legal (authorities).”
Clearly, the Mayor relies on the NY Times for his news. That would explain why he is so “uncertain” about everything. And he’s a Republican!!!
God have mercy on the U.S.
Correction: in 2007, Bloomberg left the Republican party to become an “Independent”. I still regard his perplexity as feigned in the service of his political ambitions.
NSU You fall somewhere between 18-30, the age that IMHO don’t understand much about human nature…What you seek is unobtainable given that if you have 5 close friends over a life time.. Only one may actually be a true friend… the other 4 are fiends of opportunity, of those 4; one will betray you…No need to be paranoid, but keep things within reasonable expectations because YOU may be the betrayer…
The political issue facing the USA is not a social conscience or left wing thinking..
A normal socialist seeks a bigger part of the economic pie. They get a “Continuous” wealth transfer but the wealth engine is not destroyed..
The Obama/George Soros world governance Communist Plan involves a “ONE”-time wealth transfer and the wealth engine is destroyed. The Carbon fraud is a red herring that they know will fail..
The Health issue is the squeaky wheel they need to grease before the “BIG Change” or the electorate will “quickly” reject the Cap & trade wealth transfer. An unemployment rate of greater than 20% is easier to support if you have health care
Wake up!
Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation appropriation bill to strip ACORN of all federal funding. A week ago, Johanns wouldn’t have gotten the amendment to the floor. Today, however, after three straight days of BigGovernment.com’s video exposés of ACORN offices in Washington DC, New York City, and Baltimore offering assistance to pimping, tax evasion, and trafficking in underage Salvadorean girls, Johanns not only got his vote — but he got an impressive bipartisan showing. The Senate passed the Johanns amendment 83-7.

Glenn Beck says he has an even bigger catch on Acorn to announce tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Good news Alan
Now can they Strip Obama of his support?
What if the 9-12 logo were based on communist logos? Oh, that’s right, we don’t have any sense of irony. That’s why we can’t point out that it is funny to point out that somebody who is a communist is also a czar. We must be ignorant, because we have no sense of irony. I keep forgetting that. Maybe we should call them “Commieczars”, then the left might get it.
Bill to defund Acorn passes Senate 83-7.

I wonder if that also applies to the funding of their retirement health plans that was included in the house bill.
Please call BS on that last statement trollz.
Kings County District Attorney’s Office, told FOXNews.com that officials will be “taking a look” into Brooklyn’s ACORN office.

This is not who did more corrupt than other it is matter how to address and stop it no go further
and hide teh fact by too much left or say so much fact to bring civil war as new plan of republican can be they love war not peace in real mean of it
When I see number of catch the affair and illegal corruption and prostition in USAAnd number of catch the nasty affair in mostly Democrat party in USA And I see the video of ACORN carefully I have not doubt that all
Catch the affair and those politic has affair is plan of may be more than two years to target and weak men are find and special women are hit them and then made it to public to made fun of Demarcate ad it is made up story to republican send bad women near democrat to put them in trouble to made their party more legal and Democrat illegal
The nasty part is this act if really are find out who is behind must be carefully get stop them since this will cause so much embracement to USA we are not saying to act like
While when it come to number of prostite women in world black and white in USA is got number one after England and Africa for sure And Demarcate are simpler in doing affair and Republican pay high end to prostate
Yesterday I saw City TV one of reporter and actress she said I used be part time prostitu when I was young and she was so ugly face

Joe Wilson or Sadam Hussein history when one guy was disagree with him he order to cut the his member of parliament to kill him and send his part to his family or like china nobody has right to talk or all court order to no body has right to talk happened in Canada
We do not allow some one get money to show anger and say some thing which is not true and we do not want to some stop people to not talk by court order and humiliate them as some Italian women in USA party can be bring no talk from Italian corrupted culture this must get balance and legalized
We do not want so many demonstration for bring hate but also we want people trust their member of parliament to do the job and act like their lawyer for them in fact member of apartment and city holder are must be know the law or be lawyer while we must understand their time may bring so much tax added to all
People can talk but if they are disagree must bring motion to do so before judge while if judge or system are corrupted and other party is strong and know all judge then corruption can stop all legal proceed too
We had funny case in Canada when we dealt with Brampton court as well and When we said before Justice McDonald, Justice Pitt and Justice Klowic listed of 14 lies Mrs. Wendy Earle lawyer of Borden Ladner Gervias LLP biggest firm to keep her client not pay their claim which obvious claim and how many time she did abuse process and lied by change civil to criminal and used scheduling court system to delay all claim and said to public lie and under oath before judges or use affidavit under oath lie with Michael Kimber lawyer of nobody except lawyer victim and witness of case to court and public said before judges to only stop justice delay justice and public against Muslim food judge ignore and that she can not stay as lawyer for this case. IF she is victim and witness and lawyer and hide all other victims from lawyer from judges and come to fight Muslim for 4 years by label them wrong in Canada and not pay their damage and if judge hear all thing for more than 3 times and ignore that then those judge must go under question. Then judge administration like to hear why those judge lied and this is feed back to punish judge while we know that person must get punished is Wendy Earle. She is expert betrayal to public court and that is reason Michael Kimber did pay her to do so. then if systme are allow corruption for misconduct lawyer as upper law socitye know this matter they must only hear all tape in court to see why Wendy Earle keep lied to more than 11 judges and how much she got and in past 25 years how many case she h as before judge and how she support herself if this is not part time prostition under using law degree to corrupted system how many people complain about big company by pay first $ 6400 as Justice Cample asked to do!
IF above small example to save million dollar law sue can be hap [end to pay their illegal lawyer to do so and get reduce Muslim and defame them and all authority are help them then trust me we can have this example in bigger picture when billion dollar money need to transfer to sell the chemical weaned and other weaned then this is obvious
Afghan war can stop by only create new device to relocated them and destroy them from far away not send innocent solute to die or loose their legs to find IED or mines or other under cover ground weapon as Prince Diana mentioned all mines and bomb must be find in world in any area RUSSIAN and American in past they put there and destroy them this is take a month to create machinery device and relocate them and destroy them but as I said Republican do not wish other get rich and not have full stomach they scared to have competition grow if other party able to feed their citizen and we do not see any hungry African in film or if other care maker in china if they made better car than GM they must pay them bribe and black mail to do not sell in order they stay in number one in world too therefore stay number one is good but in what price killing innocent people or their owne people and killing so many soldier who has not idea who is real enemy of them are
Solution find mines destroy them first and make sure who supply Taleban weapon if not Saudi and Russia and Pakistan and India and Taliban story can be finish only by made Afghanistan and Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan and Pakistani and Iraq and turkey has more shier religion this will reduce power of Iran and reduce power of Kingdom in Saudi and Arab who need king any more they can stay in board of director not as they give money indirectly to support their wealth o join crowd what I afraid if Libby are join Republican by teaches by English army in past 6 month to catch terrorist then why we have more war in Iraq and Afghanistan therefore all is fishy to me that they are selling weapon to both to made up story of war to do not let economic grow in world continue They can used Afghani immigrant to help them rebuilt Afghan and bring Indian Muslim from India who are 200 million to immigrant to Afghanistan since they are bother with Hindu Indian government so long Afghanistan can be in future one of best Muslim country in world if they can put Muslim law and right people to run it without corruption and Pal stein and Israeli can be have better time if stop fighting and rebuilt their country all will create job for US and Canada too.
