New Acorn Video Scandal Emerges- Employee Asks For Sex

So if we find pedophiles involved in child prostitution in the R party does that mean the R party supports child prostitution?

If that was my point, I'd address it....




I am specfically talking about those liberals seemingly unconcerned with Acorns eagerness to help child prostitution. :shrug:




And as a Libertarian, Why would the R or the D or even an L make a difference as to pointing out abhorrent apologist behavior for these acorn dirtbags...

It looks like you missed my point. Nowhere did I say, or imply, that others don't have their own agendas. I was pointing out that the agenda of these individuals raises legitimate questions about their reporting and whether they have carefully given the public ONLY those details that fits in with that agenda.

It's the same kind of questions that are made about any news organizations, but apparently when it's a right winger trying to discredit a lefty organization, those questions are off limits.

I guess I am amused that the only time I see Liberals having a modicum of curiosity is when they THINK that the people reporting have a "right wing" agenda; everyone else gets a pass.

But here is the real point of the numerous offices where these employees engaged in a pattern of criminal collusion with these "right wingers" posing, OBVIOUSLY I might add, as a pimp and his prostitute is that ACORN receives what I think amounts to $54 million from the taxpayers of AmeriKa.

I find it outrageous that taxpayer money is going to a partisan political organization that apparently employs people so dumb that they don’t recognize an OBVIOUS attempt to PIMP them, but then engage in the criminal activity of colluding with and advising them how they can "play" the Government and open illegal houses of prostitution with underage South Americans.

Gee, I don't know, maybe the first call should have been to the FBI to report these fakes?

Once more and to clarify my argument, I am always fascinated how the left wants to give EVERYONE a pass whom they perceive as on THIER side and who also lack the intellectual curiosity of a lemming when it comes to the outrageous claims of this Administration whose President and leader is/was a supporter of this organization that has a pretty poor reputation for unethical partisan political conduct.

The point obviously flew over your head. Every organization has stupid people in it its a game of numbers eventually you're going to find someone doing something they shouldn't. It does not show that this is common within an organization.

Fascinating, yet Liberals like you ranted for 8 years about the rampant corruption of the Bush Administration; to date, none of those claims have proved credible.

Now suddenly when it is Acorn or this Administration, you want to tone down the rhetoric and claim that every organization has a few "stupid" people. Got irony? :rofl

So lets see the interior department has an investigation done by the inspector general which finds several officials doing blow on the job, having sex with lobbyists, drinking all while on the job the Deputy Secretary is ordered to jail by a federal judge and the former secretary resigned after she was nailed for ethical violations for turning over government documents to lobbyists and there's nothing to see here in your book. You say its no big deal because there are 70,000 employees at the interior department. But when Acorn which has thousands of employees with numerous offices throughout the country hasn't had an investigation and 2 filmmakers with a stated agenda to prove ACORN is bad find a few employees doing stuff they're not supposed to you get all up in arms.

5 Charged as Members of Prostitution Ring - The New York Times

Let the crackdown of the evil Burger King begin!

How much money does Burger King get from the Government to run their operations? None, so that is an internal corporate and police matter which I am sure will be prosecuted and dealt with by the corporation and police.

Acorn on the other hand derives a significant amount of money from the American taxpayer to operate what amounts to a PARTISAN political organization. Everyone should be OUTRAGED by this.

This would be tantamount to the Government sending millions to the Christian Broadcasting Network; imagine the liberal outrage if that were the case.

At least $53 million in federal funds have gone to ACORN activists since 1994, and the controversial group could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states.

Define "numerous." Exactly how many?

I find it outrageous that taxpayer money is going to a partisan political organization that apparently employs people so dumb that they don’t recognize an OBVIOUS attempt to PIMP them, but then engage in the criminal activity of colluding with and advising them how they can "play" the Government and open illegal houses of prostitution with underage South Americans.

Geez, your outrage is awfully selective. I haven't heard a peep out of you regarding that pimp and those hookers who were arrested in a Burger King. Or is it not worthy of your outrage because you can't pin a liberal/Dem tag on them?

Absolutely.

And I've noticed how some on the right wants to give EVERYONE a pass when they perceive it's someone on THEIR side. You display that attitude well.

I'm not a liberal truth no matter how much you try to claim it. 8 years? Again with your counting problem Bush had virtually a free pass after 9/11 until the Iraq war went south. No got irony. I say ACORN should be investigated. Until that happens it looks like just a few bad eggs. Now the irony is you claiming there's nothing to see with the Interior Department which was investigated and found ranking officials committing multiple ethical violations, doing cocaine on the job, drinking on the job, screwing around with lobbyists on the job, the deputy secretary being ordered to Jail by a federal judge and the former secretary getting nailed for ethical violations because she turned over government documents to lobbyists. You think this isn't a problem but Acorn is when they havent been investigated yet

Last I checked the employees in question were fired. So you really have no point in accusing ACORN of supporting child prostitution

Not exactly true I'm sure Burger King as a corporation gets numerous tax breaks.

Significant? 53 million over 15 years isn't significant at most that's 3 million. Most of their money comes from donations.

53 over 15 years yeah that sure is a lot of money.. not. They're not getting 8.5 billion quit lying. Where is this supposed 8.5 billion you guys keep claiming ACORN could get? Its not in the stimulus bill.

You liberals are off your game today....all these pages and not one of you has compared ACORN to the Catholic church on how they handle criminals....I'm quite disappointed.

Good question.

What, do you suppose, would be the left's reaction if five separate GOP offices were found offering to facilitate a child prostitution ring? I'm sure they would garner as much credulity as you lefties have been able to muster for ACORN...:roll:

Objective Voice said:
But let's be real about this for a second...

It's a scandal that involves ACORN and in the minds of most FoxNews viewers, ACORN isn't a far leap from the President and his "questionable ties to corruption". If this had been any other sex slave ring that was uncovered, it might not have gained so much attention. Case and point...

I'm being sarcastic here, but why hasn't FoxNews reported on the above storyline considering it's also about teen prostitution and sex rings?

Fact is FoxNews has made it a point to link ACORN and the President together and as such an event such as this truly becomes newsworthy.

As I've said in another thread dealing with these hidden ACORN videos, I have no problem whatsoever with Fox or any other news agency uncovering corruption wherever is lay, but it's apparent where ACORN is concerned, FoxNews will report on anything ACORN-related because they know doing so will continue to paint the President is a very dim light. People will draw a mental connection between ACORN and the President and automatically conclude "corruption".

Okay, are you attempting to argue that there is no connection between the President and Acorn?

I don't care what you CLAIM you are, I can only go on your arguments and the fact that you use lies and distortions to support your uninformed highly emotional hyperbole. Your recent attempts to take my comments out of context are evidence of your lack of integrity.

Democrats are well known for using the same despicable tactics.

Answer this honestly; who did you vote for in the last election?

I saw your amusing attempt to support your farcical claims using opinion poll data; but you seemed to ignore the falling poll ratings post 9-11 and ignore the New York Times, the Washington Posts and the DNCs assault on the Bush Administration which helped to drive Bush's polls to all time lows.

Your credibility is beyond lacking and the notion that your desperate attempts to support Liberals as not being consistent with being a Liberal is beyond laughable.

PogueMoran said:

I don't care if Acorn gets investigated and many here don't either; the issue is that Acorn is a patently partisan political organization that receives funds from the US Government. It is offensive and rightfully being ended now.

The irony here is that you continue to read through your "liberal" blinders what you want to read and refuse to comprehend what is being argued.

Why must you continue trying to derail threads with arguments from other threads and not keep them there?

Your desperate assertions about what I am claiming are patently false and attempts to lie about my positions. Why do you continue LYING in your vain attempts to support your obviously absurd partisan political positions?

This is false: "you claiming there's nothing to see with the Interior Department"

This is false: "You think this isn't a problem but Acorn is when they havent been investigated yet"

So it begs the question, why do you feel compelled to lie and misrepresent what has been argued; because your arguments contain little in the way of substance, are baseless, lack facts and credible support?
 
Hm...I suppose the fact that dozens of Catholic Priests have been indicted on child molestation and rape charges and many Catholic organizations have been subsidized by the government means that the Catholic Church is on par with Acorn. There just couldn't possibly be such a thing as a few bad apples in a big organization. :roll:
 
Well Obama did say ACORN would help him formulate policy that would fundamentally change the Country.

Child Prostitution in the open sure would do that :lol:

Really?


So when Acorn has this whole child prostitution sting, it takes the MSM like cnn and MSNBC a week to pick up on the story?


Are you saying that when some senator toe taps in an airport bathroom, it would take that same msm media a week to pick it up? :ssst:
