$100 Million to help setup brothels

Seems the good people at ACORN have been hard at work spending the $100M in stimulus money they are due to get thanks to that brilliant bailout package rammed down our throats.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/...ion/index.html

The right wing conspiracy is hard at work. These people are clearly conservative republicans who have set out to discredit a fine organization. They really didnt have to do very much.

Here's the entire video for your viewing pleasure.

I guess voter fraud isnt the the only thing they do. Glad to see they're using the money to expand.

Didn't have to do much other than setting up a sting operation that hit every ACORN office until they found some seasonal part-time workers to talk to? And then ended up releasing an edited clip showing what? That ACORN has some interest in helping out prostitution rings?

Oh sure... makes all the sense in the world...

Hmm. I expected you to come back with typical "Bush did it too..." justification. I'm sure over time, it will become "Well, at least he was better than Bush". Not that I would argue, but time will tell.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124182750646102435.html

There is something systemically wrong with ACORN. But since they helped O-man get elected, I'm sure it's an acceptable means to an end for you.

I especially enjoyed the part of the video with the tax advice.

If it takes something like this to finally get people's attention, kudos to those who did it. What's wrong with a sting operation to weed out the miscreants? You dont seem particularly pleased to see them gone, but rather annoyed that someone "had nothing better to do" than try and take down a group that commits fraud over and over again.

I do enjoy how the mainstream news tries to ignore this sort of thing until it becomes painfully obvious they they are waiting to see if it gets legs. That evil Fox news reported it 2 days before CNN even mentioned it. Van Jones and the nutty professor incident were good examples.

Maybe CNN is now part of the VRWC (vast Right Wing Conspiracy)

Its funny how these "isolated" incidents keep cropping up.

This is great!! You're setting up all the straw men and knocking them down all by yourself. Nobody else needs to say a thing!!

Which is fine by me.

OK, but at least tell me you're not minimizing the behavior.

Maybe it's isolated, but ACORN seems to have a pattern of "isolated" objectionable incidents.

Seriously though, can someone explain why ACORN would be interested in supporting illegal prostitution rings? And is the complete video available anywhere or only interesting snippets?

Allegations of voter fraud, whether true or not, at least make some sense. But really, ACORN and the "Obama Socialist Conspiracy"(tm) has an interest in supporting illegal prostitution rings? There ain't enough tin foil in the world to cover that one.

Yes, this was nothing but a photo-shop like fake. All the words were dubbed in. Like the Hitler videos. Bhahahahaha.

All the video is out there. Just look for it.

Clearly, you cant see the bigger picture and understand its not about prostitution. I think you know this, but are being obtuse.

But if you really are interested, give ACORN a call and ask them.

Well obviously it's not about prostitution, given the GoPs position on that.

So is it about how easy it is to get a no-doc loan? I was shocked, I thought they had tightened all that up.

its not just about prostitution it is about bringing illegal immigrants into the country to do the prostitution. real americans arent socialists (not being racist, but look at the demographic of liberals and conservatives and tell me why things are the way they are...how many illegal immigrants want to vote republican?) so obama and his cronies cant bring about their "change" without the support of foreigners who they are interested in acomidating by thelping them with anything they can, be it with acorns tax help or obamas healthcare takeover (the honorable joe wilson was NOT lying when he pointed out obamas lie)

Malfeasance has never been limited to Enron execs, predatory lenders or Madoff types. Be it ACORN, Walmart, or whatever, a certain % of the population gets caught with their hand in the till or worse.

It seems clear that these employees worked in a culture whose mindset endorsed gaming-the-system. Not ok, in and of itself... but turning a blind eye to the exploitation and prostitution of minors takes it to a sickening new level of horrible.

If it can be shown that a significant number of ACORN employees have a game-the-system mindset, then that should be aggressively, perhaps litigiously addressed.

If you actually bothered to look you would see that the film makers tried and failed to secure incriminating footage at various other ACORN offices.
