Second ACORN Video Shows Workers Helping Pimp & Prostitute in Washington DC
Two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired on Thursday after offering to help a man and a woman who posed as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes. On Friday, another secretly shot video tape has surfaced which shows the same couple getting very similar advice from ACORN workers in Washington D.C.
The videotape was shot on July 25, and shows ACORN workers explaining to the couple how they could hide the woman's professed work in prostitution and get a loan that would help them establish a brothel.
Posing as the pimp was 25-year-old independent filmmaker James O'Keefe. 20-year-old Hannah Giles posted as the prostitute.
The video shows the couple receiving advice on how to establish the woman as the sole proprietor of a fake company to hide the nature of her business.
"She's not going to put on (the loan application) that she's doing prostitution ... she doesn't have to. You don't have to sit back and tell people what you do," said the ACORN staffer.
The ACORN worker is also shown suggesting that O'Keefe can purchase a house and then as the landlord, if ever questioned by the authorities, he could say he was unaware of the illegal business going on inside.
"[W]hen the police ask you, (tell them) you don't know where (the money is) coming from. We are looking out for you."
O'Keefe told the ACORN staffers that he has a budding political career. They suggest later that he not linger around the house in case people "put the dots together" and leave him "smeared and tarnished" by his association with his prostitute girlfriend, and state that he should keep her business "low key".
FOX News aired the video and sought comment from ACORN. A spokesman for ACORN said that the organization would need to look at the full tape and transcript before they could comment.
A day prior to the Washington DC video shooting, O'Keefe and Giles visited ACORN workers in Baltimore. Here they were told how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador who they said they wanted to import as prostitutes.

Taking this comment one step further, it was mentioned by the Acorn worker to keep the activity low key because sooner or later a nosey neighbor will call Fox.
Acorn is scared of Fox. Fox was refferenced by name. That should tell anyone looking at this that Acorn knows that Fox is the only channel reporting on this and it should make all of you very sad for the state of news reporting in this country.
This is big news no matter how you look at it.

The ACORN worker
So the acorn worker is indicitive of all the ppl that work for them & including the president....
But the newCON asshole here in calif caught on tape is an isolated incident...lol
Tell me how you fellas wanna spin this now...
& we can get this thing started right here....:thumbsup:
They've been making claims about ACORN for a long time and trying to dig up dirt.
"Voter Fraud" = False
"Caused the housing crisis" = False
They went to a number of offices and were turned away but they found a few people in certain offices that were scum. Now because of all the lies of the past, they're labeled a corrupt organization because of the actions of a few obviously very corrupt individuals.
It's a perfect example of how the Neocon media gets people all worked up.
Oh man.

There's been a bunch of very false claims against ACORN in the past. Now that we see something like this everyone thinks that all the lies of the past are true.
As an organization, what have they actually done that's so bad?
This is terrible and there's no way around that but does it really reflect the organizations work or does it reflect just a few scum bags in these offices?
Fox has been after them for a long time and so far it's almost always turned out to be flat out lies or claims that can't be supported with facts.

Can you show that? That anything has actually been "proven" false.
I mean, there's a 24 page DOJ criminal complaint filed by ACORN higher-ups against their own organization (that included racketeering and conspiracy to violate civil rights), that Conyers wanted to have a full investigation over - yet mysteriously reversed himself on.
Justice Department Complaint
The undersigned State Board delegates and National Board members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (“ACORN”) file this criminal complaint against ACORN Staff and Executive Board members for fraud, embezzlement, conspiracy and concealment, and criminal civil rights violations. Additionally, since there has already been the public admission that a felony was committed, it is also possible that other federal offenses have also been committed including but not limited to; Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the United States Government; 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civil and/or criminal RICO violations
Here's the complete 24 page DOJ criminal complaint in HTML format:

BTW, Fox is the only network reporting that the Census Bureau has just cut off all ties to ACORN. I'll start a thread as soon as I see it online. :D

Nobody knows for sure. The Chairman of the Washington DC chapter, who was on Glenn Beck being interviewed about the criminal complaint her and others filed with the Justice Department, says there are over 200 smaller organizations under the ACORN umbrella; and nobody in the national leadership will allow anyone an audit of the entire network. I believe she and the financial officer also being interviewed called it a "shell game".

You think it's just a coincidence that two offices did the exact same thing? The little people are always the fallguys. You don't think ACORN trains their people? Remember Obama being an organizer and lawyer? - for ACORN

Your analogy doesn't make sense here.
I agree that we don't know what this organization actually does but by these 2 videos, they help people getting loans for houses. Now maybe these reporters tried at more locations and didn't succeed in getting the workers to incriminate themselves, that does not diminish what happened at the 2 locations commiting crimes.
If this happened at 1 location, I might agree that it was a rouge employee, or a group of rouge employees, because everybody that was listining are just as guilty for not saying anything about what was going on, but at 2 locations in 2 states indicates the organization, if there was no direct contact between the first group of workers and the second, is guilty of teaching the workers how to do this. It would be quite a coincidnece that 2 groups of workers from the same organization giving the same type of advise, and help to defraud the government and the bank.
At this point, without delay, the police should get the search warrants to raid these 2 locations and investigate all people that were helped by these 2 groups of people. I am sure they will find a ton of bank fraud and tax fraud on the people this organization helped. If the people could get a loan straight up, they wouldn't need to go to Acorn.
Scam artists are like child molesters, they are never caught on their first victim.

Thanks for the kind words.
The conspiracy is in the teaching of the workers.
You have to assume the other offices were taught the same even if they were not caught.
Doesn't it seem weird to you and aren't you concerned about an organization that receives tax money is helping people defraud banks and the IRS?

I can understand how it happened.
When the guy was working on the ammendment to require proof of citizenship that got voted down by the democrats, I am sure he went in to hear the speech wound up and was just waiting for that line about the undocumented immigrants and he couldn't control himself.
It has happened to me. You get yourself worked up and the line was the trigger. I can't get upset about it because it has happened before on the other side, and even by this sitting president. I don't see it as a big deal.
At least he kind of appologized. He is more of a man than Harry Reid.

No, he shouldn't be held responsible for every smuck that is hired somewhere. But, he can be responsible for his own actions and judgements. And in the past, judging from the people he chose to align himself with, he should be judged on those. It was obvious he used poor judgement. He chose to hang with crooks and loudmouth radical racists. I don't care how good a president he could end up being. Those facts alone says a lot about the man..

Sorry but that is how I feel about it...
It reminds me of the same shit I use to see about Carl Rove all the time.... You would think the guy the devil & Emmanuel Goldstein http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/1984-movie-goldstein.jpg rolled into one & was omnipresent... He was behind & given credit for every evil under the sun & was just to smart to get caught... You would of thought he was co-President... It is kinda like that in my mind... :thumbsup:
