One day after two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired for offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes, another secretly shot videotape has surfaced that shows the same couple getting similar advice from ACORN officers in Washington.
The newly released videotape, shot on July 25, shows ACORN staffers explaining to the pair how they can hide the woman's professed work — prostitution — and get a loan that will help them establish a brothel.

I am actually somewhat shocked at the stupidity. Why would the Acorn employee think it was a good idea to help out a pimp?
 
[quote name='thrustbucket']In your question lies the answer.


It's only a matter of time before Acorn crumbles. I normally would not give two shits but when insane orgs like this get tax payer money it makes me livid.[/QUOTE]


Could you send me something on why acorn is insane that isn't a link from fox news? Not being a dick just I have never heard anythng concrete about ACORN other than on Glenn Beck

There is a video linked as well in the article. I am as skeptical of Fox news as the next guy, but it's pretty hard to argue with that video.
 
Is there a particular reason why you linked to fox news? Or was it just the only source of the story you found?

I don't have time right now to gather info, and I am not intending to be a dick either, but do you have any evidence that the stuff FoxNews/Glenn Beck has dug up is completely meritless?

One thing to keep in mind is that just because other news sources ignore a story doesn't mean it isn't valid, it just means they ignored the story.

I'm not defending FoxNews or Glenn Beck, but they have dug up some pretty obvious shady things about that org that anyone can plainly find out on their own.
 
You're completely omitting that this was a right wing "journalist" that tried this at several other offices across the country and got booted. These are two individuals that are clearly retarded and need to be fired.

They were already fired. Like...when the story first came out.
 
If the ACORN employees should be fired, it should also be because they're fucking stupid.

Seriously, that's some awful Paul Walker style acting going on. Some of the retorts are so bad

'uhhh didnt you buy a bunch of condoms'

Jeez, anyone couldve noticed a white nerdy conservative dude didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

Anyway it is disgusting. But if fraud like this has been going on for so long, how come all of a sudden there are investigations like this? Is it because Obama had ties to them that we suddenly need to go after them?

Well, a similar scenario played out in Baltimore. It's not happening 100% but it's not a 1 in a 100 event either. And even 1% would be too much.

No, people have been after them ever since their shanigans during the elections they were involved with.

Again, if they didn't receive 56 million in tax payer money, this would be mostly a non-story, there are plenty of lame ass orgs like Acorn.
 
[quote name='depascal22']But you guys get what I'm saying. This isn't ACORN just like Joe Wilson isn't the entire Republican Party.[/QUOTE]

You can't be seriously trying to equate yelling two words during a presidential speech to using federal money to promote underage prostitiution.

I'm as progressive as the day is long, but you're just being ridiculous here.
 
Meh, another nutjob conspiracy story advocated by Fox News to make Obama and his association look bad. Luckily the mainstream media didn't take the bait to report on this blatantly racist smear piece composed by the right wing.

I just think it's unfortunate that they're only investigating ACORN after the black guy who represented them gets elected president. get those straws!

I am because opposing sides are trying to paint the entire opposition with the actions of crazed individuals. Stop acting like the entire organization is run by Archbishop Don Magic Juan.

And you're about as progressive as William Jennings Bryan.

:rofl:

The politicians on the right are afraid of plebeians without money and without a deep vested position in the power elite (or maintaining the power elite) will actually begin to develop and have a say in the way our country is run. This is why ACORN will suffer the same fate as Move On, as the SEIU, as the AFL-CIO, and as all other organizations that represent progressive ideas that help working class people regain some of the power and wealth that's been seized by the elites in this country.

It is why someone who says "I was a communist then," when referring to their college years, is denied a position they were qualified for, and why a person from an elitist family who had a coke problem as that same time in their lives was elected to two terms as president despite genuine abuses of power and potential war crimes during the first term.

A black man who says he was a communist 16 years prior is more dangerous than any white man who was intellectually inept and could not keep himself from violating criminal laws regarding drug use.

It is also why ACORN is being entrapped by members of the right, and the few cases where they discover persons foolish enough to fall for their entrapment become a proxy for lambasting the entire party...yet Erik Prince, whose corporation of private military contractors violates criminal laws, international laws, and is also potentially under investigation for fulfilling murder contracts from Prince himself, remains free, and has, in fact, received additional contracts under the Obama administration.

ACORN = evil.

Xe, or Blackwater, or whatever they are this week = defenders of our freedom.

Prince will never face charges, he will continue to make money hand over fist for murdering people and behaving with reckless abandon, as if he and his company were above the law...because they are.

And ACORN will cease to exist, and in a few years we'll have a few dozen more black people behind bars. Because of entrapment.
 
Ummm.. Myke... when you're ranting, you probably shouldn't bring up Bush's alleged Coke use unless you're also going to bring up Obama's admitted Coke use. ;)

Why is it worse to be upfront and honest about past mistakes? You sit there and bash politicians for being dishonest assholes but one comes by and says, "Yup. I did it. A little joint helped take my mind off the fact that my dad split not for another city or state, but a whole other continent. Then I was into coke for a couple months and it felt great but I gave it up because I felt it was wrong."

Stop being a fucking hypocrite. Obama has been through some fucked up shit and came out of it as the President. Instead of bashing him for doing a little coke, praise him for being a success story. I guess white people are the only ones that are allowed to come back from past mistakes.

Bush had every advantage that wealth and title could bestow upon him and dundered his way through two terms while conservative America sucked his cock. Now, liberals have their champion. A man that worked his way up fron nothing and achieved everything he worked for and people want to paint his as a radical. You'd be a socialist too if white America did everything it possibly could to destroy you. Even now, it's millions of whites taking to the street in protest. I didn't see a single person of color out there at the protest. Think that's a coincidence?

And that bitch ass Uncle Tom Blackman doesn't count. He hasn't been black since the 70s.
 
A.) Didn't say a single bad thing about Obama in that post.

See the Confederate Flag toward the back? I think that balances out the two black guys you found.

So then what did you mean by saying that Bush's alleged coke use is somehow cancelled out by Obama's admitted coke use? Was that somehow a good thing?
 
I thought Bush was bad democrats? Yet you defend people helping create child porn rings and using the race card all because somebody brought the dirty deeds to light?

Did I say Bush's alleged coke use was "canceled" out? I simply stated that it wouldn't be fair to bring up the offenses of one person when the next guy did the same thing. Even more so when one is alleged to have happened and the other is admitted to have happened.
 
I'm not defending those people that were stupid enough to help out a fake pimp. I"m just saying that an entire organization isn't responsible for the acts of two retards. I guess I just don't get the assertion that ACORN specifically guided those two to encourage prostitution and I don't get the assertion that Obama is guiding ACORN. You're being disingenous at best.

Then we'll bring up Bush's DUIs.
 
See, it would appear you're not that familiar with it either.

Entrapment requires one major thing. Law enforcement personnel.

Journalists aren't law enforcement.
 
Do you guys really belive that ACORN actively has a pro-prostitution policy in their charter? Are you really saying that the top levels of management actively encourage their operatives to support the pimp game? Like I said, do you guys think the Archbishop Don Magic Juan is sitting in on board meetings giving his two cents on how to support the chillens?

Do you honestly believe poor customer service is in Walmart's business plan?

Or is it the culture that's been created within the business?

Watch those videos again. Look at how nonchalant these ACORN employees are when giving advice. They weren't shocked, offended or surprised that someone would come to them for help with this.

Combine this (at two different locations) with the voter registration issues. Now, add in the post-Katrina debacle.

That's not saying ACORN doesn't have some good in it. Hell, Walmart offers low prices and jobs for no-skilled laborers. But you can't ignore the culture within. You can't pass it off because you think it's some secret conspiracy by FOX News against the Black Man. Something's fishy at ACORN.
 
What the fuck does Wal-Mart have to do with ACORN?

In fact, the nonchalance makes me think that the employees thought it was some sort of prank. They might've thought they were on Punk'd or whatever. The fact is that a handful of people don't represent an entire organization no matter what rhetoric you want to cook up.

And you want to bring up voter registration issues? What about the Republican Party's systematic attempt at suppressing the Black vote? I've personally seen people at polling stations in the Bronx tell people of color that they will be arrested if the step into a voting booth. I've seen them threaten people with violence and harm if they wanted to just exercise their Constitutional rights.

Now, you want to pretend that ACORN is the bad guy even though it's never been proven that any of the fake people that were registered actually voted. Some ACORN workers probably filled out fake registration so they could go smoke a blunt on the corner but you want to pretend like there's some big Black conspiracy to take over the country. Oh wait. We already did.
 
"Some" ACORN workers help individuals cheat the tax system with their underage sex slaves.
"Some" ACORN workers filled out fake voter registration cards to get high.

What is it about the culture of ACORN where people like this are attracted to work for this organization?

And let's not get into suppressing voters at polling stations. It'll inevitably bring up the New Black Panthers harassing white devils in the last election.
 
This whole thread is about ACORN. It eventually leads to suppressing voters. It can lead to the New Black Panthers all you want. It's not like I support them. Do you support the KKK just because you're white?

What was it about the culture of major banks of the last decade to give out millions of dollars to people that couldn't afford to pay it back?

What was it about the culture of the Republican Party under Bush that led us into Iraq?

What was it about the culture of major league baseball that led players to inject large amounts of anabolic steroids?

I can play this game all night, potna.
 
Most of the people of ACORN are hard working people that are trying to make a living.

What about the people that spit in food at Taco Bell? What is it about Taco Bell that attracts that kind of person? Oh, that's right. Shitty pay and crappy hours. You could say the same about ACORN.

Let's bring up another example of crazy people that work for large government organizizations. The guards at Abu Gharib. Do they represent the entire culture of the United States Army? What is it about the Army that encourages people to stack naked prisoners up like a Jenga tower?

That's an unfair question. Lemme rephrase it:

What was it about the culture of the majority of Congress during the Bush administration that led us into Iraq?

What was it about the culture of major league baseball that led players to inject large amounts of anabolic steroids?

Umm... while I don't really give to craps about what baseball players do to their own bodies (Seriously, our Federal government wasted time with this?) that's obvious - the culture to win.
