An ACORN scandal in Baltimore, then Washington DC, and now New York City, with hints of still more to come. Plan to watch the Glenn Beck Program at 5PM Eastern Time today on FoxNews cable to find out what comes next. Rumor has it that today’s exposé is even worse than those already shown, although it is hard to imagine how that is possible.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has long been plagued by scandal for voter fraud. Despite their dubious reputation, they have received over $53 million in taxpayer funds over the last 15 years, and were slated to get another $8.5 BILLION of stimulus pork from the Obama administration. They have enjoyed protected status since Barack Hussein Obama’s career was inextricably intertwined with ACORN activities.

Two young conservative activists, filmmaker James O’Keefe, 25, and journalism student Hannah Giles, 20, captured clandestine audio/video at multiple urban ACORN offices. Posing as a pimp and a prostitute, they sought help in getting a housing grant to set up a brothel and to prepare tax returns for the illegal income. They created a story that was as egregious as possible, declaring that they were going to import underage girls illegally from El Salvadore to work in the brothel, and planned to use the income to fund a run for Congress by O’Keefe.

Last Thursday, September 10, O’Keefe and Giles broke the story of their Baltimore sting. The next day, Friday, September 11, they released video of another sting in Washington DC. Dismayed by the worsening public perception of ACORN, the US Census Bureau dropped them from participation in the 2010 census. This created a jubilant mood among conservatives, who had seen ACORN’s influence as a way to rig the voting rolls to favor Democrats.

Saturday was completely dominated by the 9/12 March on Washington, and Sunday was devoted to analysis of the previous day’s accomplishments. Also on Sunday, O’Keefe and Giles released another video, this time of a sting in Brooklyn, New York. That was quickly followed on Monday by a Senate vote to block the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) from giving grants to ACORN.

permalink  Can It Get Any Better?

Barack Obama’s community thugs are getting hammered for the second day in a row. Yesterday saw the release of videos from an undercover sting that showed the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) office in Baltimore promoting illegal activity. You can read about that here — The Performing Arts.

Two young journalists did the exposé, all at their own expense, and their work was featured on the FoxNews Glenn Beck Program yesterday afternoon. When the news broke across the country, ACORN officials promptly dismissed this as an isolated incident, and fired the two Baltimore workers featured in the clandestine video.

Here’s the kicker! The two young crusaders had kept strategically mum about any efforts beyond Baltimore. Once ACORN’s national spokespersons had been lured into an untenable position in the public media, they released a second video today showing the same scenario at ACORN’s Washington, DC office.

Here’s the plot: Independent filmmaker James O’Keefe, 25, poses as a pimp who plans to run for Congress on the money earned by his prostitute girlfriend. Young journalism student Hannah Giles, 20, plays the role of the girlfriend — she wants to obtain a housing grant from the government to buy a house to use as a brothel. The pair plan to staff the establishment with 13 underage girls, 10 of whom will be imported illegally from El Salvador.

As O’Keefe said yesterday, they came up with the most ridiculous story they could think up, just to see if ACORN staffers would buy into it. And this has everything — procurement, illegal campaign contributions, prostitution, grant fraud, illegal business, sex with minors, illegal immigration, tax fraud, money laundering….

So go ahead and enjoy the videos. ACORN DC Prostitution Investigation Part I:

And ACORN DC Prostitution Investigation Part II:

Over the past fifteen years, ACORN has received about $53 million in public funding. Under Obama, they are slated to get $8.5 billion from the stimulus pork. That is because Obama intends to make ACORN an equal partner with the government in the 2010 census.

Right after taking office, Obama removed the census from the Commerce Department, where it was under Congressional oversight, and placed it under Rahm Emanuel in the White House. Whether that is even legal is doubtful, but no one in government uttered a peep. Once Obama succeeds in completing a census with the collusion of ACORN, the voting landscape will be so skewed that he can change the law to whatever he likes and become president for life.

Barack Obama began his career as a lawyer for ACORN, he was inextricably involved with them throughout his days in the Daly Chicago political machine, and he intends to provide for them now with your taxpayer money.

Barack Hussein Obama has told us to judge him by the people he surrounds himself with… … … … … all right!

Fox NewsSecond Video Shows ACORN Officials Helping ‘Pimp,’ ‘Prostitute’ in Washington Office

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.

Committee on Oversight and Government ReformReport: Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise? (PDF)

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.

Emerging accounts of widespread deceit and corruption raise the need for a criminal investigation of ACORN. By intentionally blurring the legal distinctions between 361 tax-exempt and non-exempt entities, ACORN diverts taxpayer and tax-exempt monies into partisan political activities. Since 1994, more than $53 million in federal funds have been pumped into ACORN, and under the Obama administration, ACORN stands to receive a whopping $8.5 billion in available stimulus funds.

Operationally, ACORN is a shell game played in 120 cities, 43 states and the District of Columbia through a complex structure designed to conceal illegal activities, to use taxpayer and tax-exempt dollars for partisan political purposes, and to distract investigators. Structurally, ACORN is a chess game in which senior management is shielded from accountability by multiple layers of volunteers and compensated employees who serve as pawns to take the fall for every bad act.
