Posts about ACORN as of September 16, 2009

The community organizing group ACORN said Wednesday it is ordering an independent investigation after its employees were caught on camera appearing to advise a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp to lie about the woman’s profession to get housing help. The group, which came under fire from conservatives for alleged voter fraud in 2008, said it is refusing new admissions into its service programs.

FOX News, “ New Footage Purports to Show ACORN Worker Helping ‘Pimp,’ ‘Prostitute’ ” On the same day that the anti-poverty group ACORN announced the launch of an “internal review” after four undercover videos exposed its workers offering advice on how to skirt federal laws, a fifth video surfaced that purports to show a worker offering to help bring underage girls into the U.S. for the purposes of prostitution.

This week we’ve seen some fine examples of media bias in action.The left wing insists that liberal bias in the mainstream media is a myth, cooked up by those horrible people at Fox.  The right wing insists that Fox is as fair and balanced as talk radio.  Both opinions are idiotic.Bias, like pornography, can be hard to define, but smartenized people know it when they see it.  It can be the subtle selection of adverbs and adjectives.  It can be the placement of the story in a newspaper.  It can be

I’ve never had any interaction with them.  At all.  I feel that any organization that tries to increase voter registration and turn out will draw the wingnut ire and also do something good.  It’s a simple equation.   Conservatives want to reduce the turn out of middle and lower class people, specifically minortities (and no, I’m not talking about tokens) in order to win elections.  One year it was free flu shots at the polls, next it is dumbed down to registration.  The voter ID law that jammed

With ACORN finally roasting on an open fire it is time we remember something else. Earlier today I had tweeted that one of the worse things about the ACORN scandal was the fact that up to last year the USCCB had been pouring some major money into ACORN and this finally stopped after so many cases of voter fraud were hitting the media. The Catholic Campaign for Human Development has been criticized for years because of the organizations receiving money from them.

Sep 16 ACORN Suspends Pimp-Advisory Operations. Huggy Bear Displeased. In a move that has rocked the child prostitution and tax fraud markets, ACORN announced stopped advising new clients about housing and financial matters. Pimps everywhere have been thrown into disarray as they will now have to choose between getting their hands on billions of taxpayer dollars or importing underaged El Salvadoran girls to trick for them.

First, they tried to claim it was an isolated incident, and threatened lawsuits.Then they tried to claim it was the actions of a few bad apples, which they subsequently terminated.After New York, they gave up the pretense of firing their employees for enabling fraud in the interests of trafficking in minors for the purpose of prostitution. By that point, with the state AG starting an investigation, such a fig leaf was obviously no longer of use.And ACORN San Bernardino still employs the worker who not only was willing to help commit fraud for the lust of pedophiles, but who was concerned over the safety and love life of our young madam-to-be.

I received a tip last week that my congresscritter, Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), was holding a conference call-town hall on Wednesday, September 16. I called her office, gave my real name, and then I was asked by the woman who took my call, “How did you hear about the town hall?” I replied, “From an e-mail” “From whom?” I informed her that I was at work and that I was unable to access my personal e-mail. Then she told me to that I’d get a phone call tonight at 6:40pm I’m still waiting for that call…

We caught some of Obama’s speech to Congress on his medical takeover plans last week, and we winced. How can the president get away with such outrageous lies? Well, he didn’t exactly get away with it. Gateway Pundit has a little analysis. Even the Associated Press couldn’t take Obama’s consistent lying. Walter Williams has a little history on the false promises of socialist legislation. The Examiner provides analysis of Obama’s lies. Ralph Reed’s analysis is at NewsMax.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today called on state Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown to investigate ACORN, the left-leaning national community organization that has come under fire in recent days after conservative activists released videos that they said showed the group’s workers offering advice on how to set up prostitution businesses.

You can see the videos here. ACORN is evil. They offer advice and help to people that want to engage in prostituting children.  Than why is the story not picked up more. The coffee shop blog has a great Daily Show clip about it. But the wacko leftist at LGF is defending Acorn. Wow. CJ used to be an anti-Jihadi blogger.

John Fund on Acorn : Last week, 11 of its workers were accused by Florida prosecutors of falsifying information on 888 voter registration forms. Last month, Acorn’s former Las Vegas, Nev., field director, Christopher Edwards, agreed to testify against the group in a case in which Las Vegas election officials say 48% of the voter registration forms the group turned in were “clearly fraudulent.” Acorn itself is charged with 13 counts of illegally using a quota system to compensate workers in an effort to boost the number of registrations.

Fox News is reporting that “ACORN said Wednesday it will stop any “new intakes” — essentially closing its doors to new clients — until it completes an internal investigation prompted by the release of four hidden-camera videos that show workers advising a fake pimp and prostitute to lie to get loans for a brothel.” “As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees, I am, in consultation with ACORN’s Executive Committee, immediately ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN’s service programs until completion of an independent review,” ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis said in a statement released Wednesday.

THE SOUND OF CRIME: ACORN-AFFILIATES, PROFITEERS & SYMPATHIZERS TO INVESTIGATE ACORN Sep 16th, 2009by -S-. | Stumble it! Surprise: ACORN audit to be conducted by panel full of leftists and cronies.From this profoundly warped announcement (via ABC, who engages in daily, early-morning information huddles with the Obama “White House”) from ACORN itself, it’s announced that ACORN is, uhh, going to “investigate” ACORN, with this group of Lefties-at-hire to go onto the media-stage and do the

First off, does anyone know why Glenn Beck looks like a street bum in the following picture? He sure has a weird lifestyle!…. Okay, does anyone know if the fake pimp & fake prostitute in the end got a mortgage through ACORN ? I’ve not heard. Because if they didn’t then what is really Glenn Beck’s beef with ACORN ? Is it skin color of a majority of the ACORN employees who are minorities and come from lower income households themselves or is it because ACORN is connected to President Obama who is of the same skin color?

COI is another acronym for ACORN. The fact that ACORN employees in Baltimore MD, Washington DC, Brooklyn NY and San Bernardino , CA all gave the same advice to a couple looking for a housing loan is not surprising and is certainly evidence of organizational practice and preference. If the New York Times is your news source, or if you watch any of the TV networks for news, you would not know the couple were openly posing as pimp and madam looking for a loan to open a brothel, using underage illegal immigrants and to avoid taxes on the proceeds.

Mama voted for Obama, and now her panties are in a wad. Jeremy Zilber is a left-wing loon that seems to think he can sell books for children to further the liberal cause. I have no issue with his left-wing beliefs, but aiming political propaganda at small children is bullshit. What’s ironic not surprising is that the “Dr.” Jeremy Zilber is a professor who has taught political science at Lawrence University, in the Midwest’s bastion of fruits and nuts.

by Terry Frieden – CNN Justice Producer WASHINGTON (CNN) – The community organizing group ACORN on Wednesday announced a hiring freeze, new training programs and an independent review of its programs after the recent release of a series of videotapes embarrassing to the agency. The videos, secretly taped by two individuals posing as a pimp and a prostitute, showed ACORN employees in four of the agency’s offices suggesting or condoning a series of illicit actions as the couple sought advice on setting up a brothel with underage women from El Salvador.

[Posted by Karl] Rocked by a continuing stream of scandals, ACORN is trying to pass them off as the “indefensible” acts of a few employess, but promised an “independent review.” Who will conduct the “independent review?” Round up the usual suspects : The Council includes many prominent Democrats, including the man who helped President Obama Transition Team, John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress; former Maryland Lt. Gov.

A small cheer for Jon Stewart for running a hilarious bit on The Daily Show last night regarding the ongoing expose of ACORN by Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com. Stewart’s riff is seriously funny – but I’m going to direct you over to Hot Air to watch it. Because what I want to post here is a pre-election bit that The Daily Show ran on ACORN…back, you know, when it actually may have mattered in terms of the Presidential election.

Sub prime loans , voter fraud, child prostitution, tax evasion and human trafficking . It’s absolutely stunning that Obama hasn’t issued the ‘This is not the ACORN I knew’ speech. Via The Washington Times : ACORN, calling the actions of some of its employees “indefensible,” has suspended advising new clients as part of its service programs and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.

Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason is pleased that the U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to deny federal housing funds to the controversial left-wing advocacy group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). However, Gleason questioned U.S. Senator Bob Casey Jr.’s decision to join six of his colleagues in support of ACORN funding. “Sen. Bob Casey’s blind support of this corrupt organization is questionable at best,” Gleason said.

“Last week, Darrell Issa got a scalp. On September 11, the Census Bureau broke its ties to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) after several ACORN officials were caught on hidden cameras offering advice to conservative activists posing as a stereotypical prostitute and an outrageously stereotypical pimp. ACORN was originally one of 80,000 community groups that agreed to help promote the Census, but with the hidden-camera footage all over the internet and Fox News, the bureau decided it didn’t want the free help.

” paying people piece meal for registrations which predictably led to many registrations for Mickey Mouse, Yosemite Sam, etc. Most of these were flagged by ACORN before passing them on (as they were legally required to do). That was and will be true of any large voter registrations effort that pays piece meal (as most do). This has not lead to actual vote fraud that I am aware of. If it is something else please let me know.” Yeah, that is it..

Since Obama announced his run for the presidency of the United States of America, some us have been reporting on the direct ties—both ideological and financial—between Obama and his voter-fraud and massive-corruption organization ACORN. -SNIP-Thus far, any and all attempts to investigate ACORN have been blocked by ObamaThugs and the Democrat-run Congress.  -SNIP-As a reminder, the below are only a few of the direct ties and activities that the Obama pretender-to-the-throne has engaged in with

When faced with charges of fraud all over the nation, when caught aiding and abetting child prostitution rings to establish brothels with ACORN assisted housing loans, ACORN’s reponse was to cry fraud- about those who pulled back the nasty, infested curtains from ACORN’s windows. And for some time now, they’ve been planning on changing their name : The dirty little secret is ACORN is changing its name. In a June 21 Washington Examiner interview with Marcel Reid, a dissident ACORN whistle blower, the name is being changed to Community Organizations International.

Acorn Live! Democrats still fund this rogue operation. In the last few days, the Census Bureau has severed ties with the advocacy group Acorn, and the Senate has voted to deny it access to federal housing funds. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is that it took this long and hidden-camera video footage of Acorn workers apparently advising others to commit crimes before federal officials would act. Allegations of fraud have dogged Acorn for years, sometimes resulting in convictions.

A lot of buzz swirling around the defunding of ACORN following embarrassing undercover videos and election fraud convictions, money laundering, anon. See California Representative Darrell Issa ’s (CA-49) report on ACORN to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which investigates whether the left-leaning organization is “Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise.” The report lists in its findings: tax evasion, investment fraud, using tax dollars for partisan purpose, false filings to IRS and Department of Labor, voter registration fraud, embezzelment, and organizational mismanagement.

Acorn Runs Off the Rails ‘We’re just community organizers, just like the president used to be.’ By JOHN FUND On Monday, the U.S. Senate voted 83-7 to strip Acorn, the premier community organizing group on the left, of more than $1.6 million in federal housing money meant to assist low-income people obtain loans and prepare tax forms. This dramatic step followed last Friday’s decision by the U.S. Census Bureau to sever its ties with the organization, one of several community groups it was partnering with to conduct the nation’s head count.

A screen shot of Michelle Malkin’s blog speaks volumes: You’ve got the media-as-ostrich, burying its head in the sand lest it see something that would embarrass the left.  You’ve got “OBAMACORN” and a clever symbol depicting the truth that ACORN is Obama and Obama is ACORN.  And you’ve got the story of the anchor of one of the big three news channels saying he absolutely doesn’t have a clue about what is going on. A transcript of the interview with Charles Gibson is even more damning: Don: Okay, here’s my news question.

This is definitely a step in the right direction on the part of the loyal opposition, and, by- the – way, Go Joe! What we have is a Pink-O marble monument to waste and corruption  We, the People gave you, Our Representatives, the chisel. Now is the time to begin chipping away at the foundation, dare I say it, the pillars upon which this illegal regime  has been built. Van Jones is gone (but not to be forgotten) ACORN is exposed, excellent.  Perhaps we can start working on the arm breakers in the SEIU, and challenging the legitimacy of the rest of these unelected czars.

The Senate voted Monday to block the Department of Housing and Urban Development from giving grants to ACORN, a community organization under fire in several voter-registration fraud cases. The 83 to 7 vote would deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The action came as the group is suffering from bad publicity after a duo of conservative activists, who posed as a prostitute and her pimp, released hidden-camera videos in which ACORN employees in Baltimore gave advice on home buying and how to account on tax forms for the womans income.

National Public Radio, the state-run media outlet that uses taxpayer money to finance propaganda for the left wing, has an explanation for the bad behavior of ACORN employees: Poor people from the inner cities are just naturally inclined toward criminal behavior . It’s also important to keep in mind that ACORN’s workers are coming from the same low-income neighborhoods the organization serves, with all that entails — poor schools, high crime and the sorts of social problems that have been documented for decades.

House Minority Leader John Boehner introduced legislation Tuesday that would break all federal government ties with ACORN, and Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder requesting an investigation by the Justice Department House Minority Leader John Boehner introduced legislation Tuesday that would break all federal government ties with ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. And Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder requesting an investigation by the Justice Department.

The Senate voted Monday to prohibit the community group, ACORN, from receiving federal funding. This is the latest rebuke ACORN has received in recent days as Republicans attempt to sever all ties between the government and the community group. House Republican Leader, John Boehner, introduced legislation to prohibit any federal dollar from going to ACORN, also known as the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. This comes just one day after the Senate voted to ban ACORN from receiving money in a housing and transportation funding bill.

The big story on the news…albeit the Obama supporting MSM are doing their best to suppress it, are the undercover tapes that surfaced showing the corrupt ACORN group helping an undercover “pimp” and “prostitute” set up housing for a brothel that the filmmaker told them would be part of their business to supply under-age children shipped in from Ell Salvador to “service” clients.Kidnapping and enslaving young children to be used as prostitutes is nothing new, but it’s usually one of those things that our sick society is happy to keep hidden in some dark corner, out of the public eye.

You know I find it simply appalling that you can’t go out and find any news about ACORN on CBS, NBC, CNN (side from an article way back), or ABC’s websites. Not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times ACORN has  been caught at different locations helping people “potentially” commit crimes.  Not only that,  last night the video that was released showed a woman talking about how she got away with murdering her husband!

Via Dana Loesch : “In this video, there are two actors who come into our office and who were messing with us. And our employee was messing with them,” Schur said. She said that the complete and unedited video needs to be released to the public. Schur said that in a moment not shown on the edited video, Kaelke asked the undercover “pimp” if he was joking and then proceeded to play along with the joke.

ACORN could be in big trouble : A growing number of people once affiliated with Acorn want nothing more to do with the group. Marcel Reid, for example, was one of eight national Acorn board members who were removed last year after demanding an audit of the group’s books. She notes that Acorn received $7.4 million in contributions from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) between 2005 and 2008 but actively fights unionization efforts by its own employees.

Some people might not understand the pain associated with knowing your birthplace is one of the worst cities in America. San Bernardino, California’s never been what you would call famous. Years ago, its biggest claims to fame were that it was home to the first McDonald’s and was the last town mentioned in the lyrics of “Route 66.” But in recent years, it’s been become better known as “the methamphetimine capital of America” or “the murder capital of America” or “smog capital of the world” or

Congressman Spencer Bachus comments on ACORNBy Shannon Delcambre Assignment Manager Published: September 16, 2009 Press release from U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus Office: Congressman Spencer Bachus (AL-6) Tuesday called for an end to federal funding for ACORN, a leftwing activist group linked to voter registration fraud and other criminal activity. Bachus became an original cosponsor of the Defund ACORN Act, which would eliminate all ties, including financial support, between the government and the organization.

BigGovernment.com -yes, the biggovernment.com who has been hosting the pimp/prostitute expose of ACORN – has a post today about the bigotry of low expectations concerning the workers at ACORN. What ELSE could be expected of the poor, the disenfranchised, the needy. Of course they would sympathize with the poor young prostitute just getting started and already in need of a house of her own due to past beatings. We can help her.

From 2008… Summary: The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has become America’s most prominent leftwing community group. Little-known until now, ACORN has played a major role in the subprime mortgage mess that has undermined Americans’ support for free market problem-solving and set off a worldwide chain of fi nancial troubles. It is also implicated in vote fraud schemes from coast to coast. ACORN aims to give America change that socialists can believe in – by any means necessary.

You can’t deny that the way the mainstream media is handling the ACORN tape scandal [LINK to YouTube search] is a bit…odd. Lets face it, it’s not secret that ACORN is a shady organization whose ties to the democratic party hurt, but didn’t hinder President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential bid. Evidence of the organization’s dealings has been known, again, since 2008 and these series of videos obviously prove that. However, my post isn’t about the video itself, because in the end, I really don’t care what ACORN does.

  ‘…We’re just community organizers, just like the president used to be.’ . . . There is a chance the latest scandals will convince Democrats that Acorn is too toxic a political partner. And President Barack Obama, who once ran a voter-registration program for an Acorn partner (Project Vote) and then worked for Acorn as a lawyer on key cases, has every incentive to distance himself further from the organization…. By JOHN FUND , WALL STREET JOURNAL, SEPT.

Remember when Charlie Gibson did the ol’ Bush Doctrine question on Sarah Palin? Well, looks like Charlie bit a big one when he didn’t know a thing about the latest ACORN problems. This comes on the wind of the Census Bureau dropping the organization as a community partner. Then, we had a Senate ACORN vote go down in flames. And then a series of undercover ACORN videos and Charlie Gibson hasn’t a clue.

Rather than treating the ACORN prostitution scandal as a legitimate scandal, here’s today’s NYT “ConservativesDraw Blood From Acorn, Favored Foe “:  For months during last year’s presidential race, conservatives sought to tar the Obama campaign with accusations of voter fraud and other transgressions by the national community organizing group Acorn, which had done some work for the campaign.

By John W. Lillpop Former President Jimmy Carter has joined a legion of liberal colleagues and mainstream media types who have deliberately sought to muddy the waters with the R word when it comes to defending the failed presidency of one Barack Obama. In doing so, Carter risks further alienation of an increasingly skeptical American electorate. For example: Outraged when an U.S.

Wed 16 Sep 2009General , Politics Written by Michael VassSo now it becomes a bit more clear. The connection between Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and ACORN.As I have stated before Sen. Gillibrand was one of 7 Senators that voted to have ACORN keep it’s funding from the Government. At the time I was at a loss for why this might be the case. Especially in light of the multiple videos highlighting ACORN employees, across the nation, engaging in acts to defraud the Government and abuse taxpayer money.Then I received an email from a reader in New York State.

In an effort to continue to broadcast his lack of relevance, Bill Maher doubled down on his hubris-queen act by challenging President Obama to “stand up for the 70 percent of Americans who aren’t crazy.” Yes, apparently, Maher thinks 70 percent of Americans actually agree with him. And if you don’t, you must be crazy. Otherwise, he and his pals would be crazy. And that can’t be true, could it…? *wink* The self-professed bong lover has truly become a poster child for left coast delusion syndrome.

FOX News has relentlessly smeared and defamed the umbrella organization for volunteer community groups, ACORN, openly participating in a concerted nationwide effort to promote false charges of illegal activity and force the group to stop all involvement in efforts to bring urban and minority voters to the polls. In its latest broadside against the group, FOX News has spent two months consistently parroting charges made by Republican members of Congress, who say ACORN is a “criminal enterprise”, apparently due to those Congressmen’s misunderstanding of criminal law and alleging sweeping responsibility for the actions of people who actually defrauded ACORN itself.

From Koinonia House ACORN CRIPPLED BY SCANDAL New allegations of misconduct by ACORN staff has left Capitol Hill scrambling to distance itself from the scandal-plagued organization. This is not the first time the left-wing group has been accused of unethical or illegal activities, however in this case the allegations are so shocking that the damage to ACORN’s reputation could be irreparable. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, more commonly know as ACORN, is a non-governmental organization that advocates for low and middle income families.

In several previous posts I have pointed out the liberal belief that humans are are essentially automations and cannot be held responsible for who they are or what they do. Here is an example. Liberals universally believe that humans are malleable. They hold that everything people do is the result of some external force imposed upon them. Criminals rob and kill because they had no fathers or because they lived in poverty. Terrorists fly airplanes into buildings because they are oppressed and poor.

NEW YORK TIMES:Conservatives Draw Blood From Acorn, Favored Foe. “For months during last year’s presidential race, conservatives sought to tar the Obama campaign with accusations of voter fraud and other transgressions by the national community organizing group Acorn, which had done some work for the campaign. But it took amateur actors, posing as a prostitute and a pimp and recorded on hidden cameras in visits to Acorn offices, to send government officials scrambling in recent days to sever ties with the organization.

This story should have been on the front page above the fold , not on page 14. But I suppose one should be “grateful” the Gray Lady covered it at all. Need I say, if this were a Republican scandal… An excerpt (emphasis added): “For months during last year’s presidential race, conservatives sought to tar the Obama campaign with accusations of voter fraud and other transgressions by the national community organizing group Acorn, which had done some work for the campaign.

It’s time to draw the line on ACORN. In fact, long past time. The group deserves not one penny of public funding. For any reason. And the recent outrageous videos — showing its employees giving advice on committing housing fraud to filmmakers who claimed to be looking to open a brothel — are only the latest reason. Yes, some officials are waking up. * State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said yesterday that he’d flag any state money going to the radical group. * Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and the Brooklyn DA began probes.

Barack Obama has been a lawyer for the tax fraud advising, criminal behavior condoning, organization ACORN. Obama also taught ACORN employees on how to intimidate banks into issuing loans to individuals who did not have the ability to repay those loans. In a speech to ACORN community organizers, chaired by the ACORN Housing Executive Director, Barack Obama pledges his fealty to this thug organization. ACORN Representative to Obama .

ACORN San Bernadino Child Prostitution Investigation Part I From Big Government From Glenn Beck If you didn’t think ACORN could get any worse after several of their employees (in multiple locations) tried to help a prostitute buy a house, lie to the IRS and run a brothel with underage hookers from El Salvador…you were wrong. It gets much worse. In today’s tapes, this ACORN employee gives away the farm — she names names of politicians she talks to each day, plus what bills they are lobbying heavily for (with taxpayer money).

Patten January 27th, 2009 NEWSMAX A rising chorus of GOP leaders are protesting that the blockbuster Democratic stimulus package would provide up to a whopping $5.2 billion for ACORN, the left-leaning nonprofit group under federal investigation for massive voter fraud.

Will Obama & Democrats Ever Disavow ACORN? ACORN is in trouble again for voter fraud.  This time it is in Miami.  Will elitist progressive liberal Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats ever disavow ACORN?  Will Obama keep giving them money?  Will the Democrats ever investigate ACORN the most corrupt organization in America? The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, Wednesday, issued arrest warrants for 11 suspects, from a Miami chapter of ACORN.  “Eleven people hired to register potential voters in Miami-Dade County before last year’s presidential election were being sought Wednesday for falsifying hundreds of voter registration cards.

Tuesday , September 15, 2009 A fourth video by an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp along with a purported prostitute has surfaced depicting an ACORN staffer in California assisting the couple in their quest to obtain housing for their illegal sex business. Much like in their previous undercover stings at the group’s offices in Baltimore, Washington and Brooklyn, N.Y., filmmaker James O’Keefe, 25, and his 20-year-old partner Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute named “Eden,” were given assistance on Aug.

September 15th, 2009 , Fairfax, VA— Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today condemned seven Senators for voting to continue funding ACORN with federal housing grants, terming them the “Sordid Seven” and promising to hold them accountable. Yesterday, the Senate voted 83-7 to prohibit ACORN from receiving housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development .

If video evidence of help for would-be felons won’t prompt a full-scale investigation of ACORN by Congress, one shudders to think what would. Political benefits from ACORN’s activities explain why alleged voter registration fraud and misuse of federal tax dollars haven’t led this Democrat-controlled Congress to probe ACORN thoroughly. If it doesn’t do so now, in the wake of what filmmaker James O’Keefe and investigative reporter Hannah Giles turned up at ACORN offices in Baltimore, New York and Washington, just who actually controls Congress will be frighteningly clear.

All the bad press has prompted ACORN to act decisively in order to improve their standing. Are they going to start to follow the law ? Fire people who advise clients on ways to commit crimes , even if they aren’t caught on camera doing so? Maybe even refuse to commit fraud ? No, none of that. They are just going to change their name . Goodbye ACORN, hello Community Organizations International.

I hope you have been following the ACORN drama as it unfolds. Following three incredible videos of an ACORN sting involving a young couple, posing as a prostitute and her pimp, who wanted to buy a house as a base from which to operate a business featuring 13 year-old hookers imported from El Salvador, the couple approached ACORN for help.ACORN workers were completely helpful, instructing the couple in how to defraud the government, avoid getting caught, hide their income and how to disguise the 13 year-old whores as something legal.The couple went to ACORN housing offices in Baltimore, Washington D.C.

Scott Shane / New York Times : Conservatives Draw Blood From Acorn, Favored Foe   —  WASHINGTON — For months during last year’s presidential race, conservatives sought to tar the Obama campaign with accusations of voter fraud and other transgressions by the national community organizing group Acorn, which had done some work for the campaign.

First, from Flopping Aces“The whole thing is coming undone. Brace yourselves.” -Glenn BeckThe Radio Patriot: Glenn Beck just wrapped up what had to be the most compelling radio I’ve heard… and lately, most of his shows have been pretty compelling.Whew, where to start? Well, how about this: you should make it a point to do two things today: watch his TV show at 5 ET this afternoon on Fox News, and hit the Big Government website an hour earlier at 4 ET.Here’s what you’ll find – the latest video sting of ACORN.

ACORN calls itself the nation’s largest grassroots community organization, with more than 400,000 members. It helps low-income Americans find affordable housing and it receives tens of millions in government funding. But, as CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers reports, that may be coming to an end, thanks to undercover videos that have sparked a huge scandal. The videos reportedly recorded late July and early August appear to show ACORN employees in several big cities including Baltimore, Washington and New York, advising a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.

The Fishwrap of Record has finally seen fit to tell its readers about the latest ACORN scandals (the San Bernardino tapes, which don’t get a mention, are beyond belief). True to form, the New York Times commits grievous sins of omission that whitewash the paper’s own role in deliberately covering up ACORN’s illicit activities before Election Day last November.The Times article by Scott Shane casts the ACORN stings as a purely partisan game: “Conservatives Draw Blood From Acorn, Favored Foe.”The

Trying to end federal taxpayer funding to ACORN, as well as to cut all ties between the federal government and the community organization, House Republicans sent letters today to President Obama and the IRS pressing them to use all powers under their authority to act on the matter. In case the President or the IRS fail to act, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has announced that he will introduce the Defund ACORN Act, which if passed will sever all ties between the federal government and ACORN.

Barack Obama’s presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat’s campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. — a subsidiary of ACORN — worked in “get-out-the-vote” projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.

KEN THOMAS Associated Press Writer= WASHINGTON (AP) â?? A Republican lawmaker on Tuesday urged the Justice Department to investigate ACORN, a community organization under fire for several voter-registration fraud cases. Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder requesting the investigation.

By Andrew Edwards, James Rufus Koren and Josh Dulaney Posted: 09/15/2009 04:40:19 PM PDT SAN BERNARDINO – The conservative Web site Big Government.com has posted a hidden camera video showing an ACORN employee apparently agree to help a “pimp” and “prostitute” set up a brothel employing underage immigrants to help finance a political campaign. ACORN is a left-leaning community organizing group whose name is an acronym for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

For months during last year’s presidential race, conservatives sought to tar the Obama campaign with accusations of voter fraud and other transgressions by the national community organizing group Acorn, which had done some work for the campaign. But it took amateur actors, posing as a prostitute and a pimp and recorded on hidden cameras in visits to Acorn offices, to send government officials scrambling in recent days to sever ties with the organization.

“A growing number of people once affiliated with Acorn want nothing more to do with the group. Marcel Reid, for example, was one of eight national Acorn board members who were removed last year after demanding an audit of the group’s books. She notes that Acorn received $7.4 million in contributions from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) between 2005 and 2008 but actively fights unionization efforts by its own employees. Ms.

     Like Carrie Prejean topless, the story of the sting operation against ACORN carried out by Hanna Giles and James O’Keefe just keeps on giving.  In case you might think that ACORN’s corruption was confined to the East coast ACORN offices, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles took their operation to San Berdino, California.       In the latest video, Hannah and James go through their routine that has become familiar by now.  They tell ACORN employees about their prostitution ring and their plan to

Written by Ed on September 15, 2009 – 9:17 pm – Sep 14 06:50 PM US/Eastern By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press WriterWASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate voted Monday to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN, a community organization under fire in several voter-registration fraud cases.

You’ve got to just love John Fund and the work he has done on voter fraud and ACORN. Here’s a video of John Fund discussing ACORN, which includes voter fraud, of course. Share and Enjoy: Original article: Forum: News/Activism

In the wake of the warp-speed passage of a US Senate bill barring ACORN from receiving Federal funding , Maryland Rep. and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has spoken out (a little) against those scurrulous ACORN employees caught on tape encouraging felonious activity in the prostitution/tax fraud videos . House Democrats appear to be jumping on the “Down with ACORN” bandwagon… or are they really ? Is Steny simply paying some CYA lip service to still the angry mob? In fact, what does your own representative think about ACORN? Click on over to www.house.gov and ask your congressman.

Two independent documentarians, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, went undercover posing as a pimp and prostitute respectively to expose the corruption that is inside ACORN. If you don’t know who ACORN is, let me explain. ACORN stands for Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. As its name indicates, it is a very large group of leftist community organizers. They agitate and lobby and cause trouble to get laws passed that fit their left wing agenda.

The best part of all this? It’s not over. How many more video tapes do you think O’Keefe and Giles have? How much more fraud and criminal activity are yet to be exposed? How many ACORN reps are heading to prison?
