ACORN Officials Videotaped Telling 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' How to Lie to IRS

I'm surprised that no news organization has played up the child sex slavery angle yet. You'd think that would be the type of thing that would get headlines for days, and it's one of the rare occasions where the actions are actually so ****ed up that it would deserve it.

That was my thought. Yeah, IRS thing, bad, here have a smack on the wrist. The transportation of seemingly illegal individuals that are underage into the country to prostitute them seemed the the bigger deal to me.
 
The IRS doesn't care if somebody is a prostitute. You don't need to lie about the work you do. They just want the taxes.
 
I hear ACORN fired the two turds.
 
The preponderance if information suggests that this is entirely reflective of the organization.
and the preponderance of the evidence suggests our lawmakers are corrupt as well......should we do away with gov't?

No, the Constitution is just fine, it's the creeps we voted in that are the problems.
 
I caught this on Beck while channel surfing. I stopped to see what what got him into his latest tizzy. I was shocked by the video that was being shown. Then I looked it up on the internet and the video seemed so over the top, with these people not even batting an eye on underage prostitution, I almost thought it was a staged show and not a real incident.

I'm not ready to tar the entire ACORN organization as a promoter of sex slavery, but at the very least they need to seriously change the way they train and supervise their people.
 
I agree that these actions are despicable, as I previously stated, but as ratings have shown (fox being the most viewed), something being shown only on Fox News is ANYTHING but a news blockout

Which begs the question, why have the other news.org's completely missed this story? Could it be that they feel it might embarrass their incomparably brilliant, moral, and totally transparent Presedent?... who just so happens to have trained, and fully supports Acorn?

Naaaaaa.... couldn't be.

Most people have no idea what a "community organizer" is. I was thinking the media is afraid that depicting such a vivid footage will lead people to say, "So THAT'S community organizing??!"

In other words, "Community Organizer" suddenly becomes a bad word.

Would your opinion change if the same thing happened, lets say, in their Washington DC offices also?

Well guess what? It did.

Hilarious. The reason this isn't a big deal is because these are individuals who acted stupidly. Did the whole organization act stupidly? No. Just like the American people didn't ask for the Republican congressmen and senators to step down. Since when did 1 or 2 people represent the whole group?

It's also funny that the same people who hate how big the government is, is complaining about how to save money from going into the government.

These guys should be fired, but to act as if this is independent of one group of people is laughable at best. But, sure. Continue the spinning and conspiracy theories.

Maybe you missed it, but that makes 2 offices now.

But hey, we all know that expecting Obama supporters to put morality, or right and wrong before their Messiah, is nothing but a pipe dream.

Why is this getting ignored, this is pretty serious. The Dems just send a whole lot of tax dollars to acorn via the "stimulus" and they get busted for trying to help others cheat on their taxes...must be where the Dem congress learned how to do it.



Because the right has been screeching lies about ACORN for years, I don't even pay attention anymore. However, having heard something about this on cnn's headline news this am whilst it was on in the background, I worked up a mild interest in clicking on the link. Seeing the screed's posted, I only managed to skim


Sounds like another ACORN screaming story to me. Sure, probably some random employee did something bad, and perhaps that person will be arrested, but it doesn't say anything about ACORN to me.
 
There is video from two separate offices, on this very thread.

Nice spin job, why don't you go apply to one of the Networks and help with the blackout.

And what lies would those be?

Could you post some links?

And that demonstrates the problem with so many on the left. You have to see things on one of your own networks, before you will even consider it. Well I have news for you pal... The liberal media may dominate the airwaves, but they don't dominate in presenting the truth.

I expected nothing less from you. I've been around long enough to know that the chances of a lib ever putting truth above their agenda is about as close to 0 as it gets.

So you should just move on now... Nothing to see here for you.

I think you missed the most relevant part of my post:

So it is safe to consider you uninformed. Copy that.

Obama works for ACORN = Good

Everything they've ever said about ACORN. And no, I can't. Waste of my time.



However, I may pay attention soon. Maybe. It'll take alot to make me interested. b/c the screamer wingers have poisoned the well so much.


I'll let some non-screechers sort it out before I invest myself. But, here are two non-screechers beginning to notice:


ACORN's No Good, Very Bad, News Day

The conservative obsession with ACORN has occasionally seemed excessive, but this video and this video are genuinely shocking. Just because Bill O'Reilly targets someone - it doesn't mean they don't deserve it. Conor Friedersdorf gives Andrew Breitbart his due for the scoop at Breitbart's new blog, Big Government:

I’ll phrase this in what I take to be the way that would maximize Mr. Breitbart’s satisfaction. Imagine if he’d appeared on the Sean Hannity show and said the following:

ACORN isn’t just unfit for taxpayer funds — it is an organization so lax in its oversight that what goes on at some of its field offices would shock the conscience of any moral American. If a pimp and a prostitute walked into the Baltimore ACORN office, the employees wouldn’t just overlook their illegal profession. They’d openly help them to commit tax fraud, to conceal the smuggling of underage illegal immigrants from El Salvador to work as teen prostitutes, and to launder the money from that kiddie brothel into a political campaign.

I’d have mocked Mr. Breitbart if he’d made those claims. Others would’ve too. In this case, however, we'd have been wrong!​

How does one waste something that is worth zero ?

Clearly my time is worth your time, you keep reading what I write, and you keep responding too. ;)
 
I am just amused by your continued posting when you damn yourself out of your own mouth as someone too uninformed to be worth listening to on the topic.

"Because the right has been screeching lies about ACORN for years, I don't even pay attention anymore."

Maybe you are lying there in the underlined part, seeing as how you are posting in this thread.
