Did you think Obama’s healthcare speech was going to be the big story of the day? You won’t after watching these hidden-camera videos catching ACORN advising an undercover aspiring congressman and prostitute on how to do all sorts of illegal behavior, including tax evasion, running a brothel, sex trafficking of underage girls, and laundering money. As a bonus they learn some valuable lessons about hiding out from competing pimps.

Who ever said community organizing wasn’t worth the billions we spend on it?

I wonder if they will get a RICO case rolling.

No.  That was pure FUD from John Boehner.

They were fired today, no surprise.

Its just a shame, that this "Community Organization" has been shown to be so incompetently directed and affecting local & federal government. The need a big Ban hammer.

Hmm, all these recent tales of human corruption and just plain hardcore fail make me nostalgic for Babylonian justice....would be interesting if those principles were instituted today.

Think it is an isolated incident? Here's a Washington D.C. ACORN office:





There's just more evidence that this organization needs to be investigated.

I just heard about this.  I tip my hat to this man and woman.  They are fine Americans.

Actually, CNN did a front page story on this.

I am interested in knowing what O'Keefe's ideas on how to deal with things like abortion and teen pregnancy are though, since he not only put together this "sting" on ACORN, but he also claims to have found racism in Planned Parenthood.

James O'Keefe is a conservative activist, and here's some more info on him.

CNN headline: ACORN workers caught on tape allegedly advising on prostitution.

Really? Allegedly? I believe the proof is there not to be considered alleged corruption. I like how the CNN reporter stressed that O'Keefe was a conservative activist, like it mattered.

And Turquoise, why would it matter about the filmer's beliefs? I think that's just deflecting the subject to something that is irrelevant.

So, when you watch a Michael Moore movie, you don't consider his inherent beliefs?

I take into account that these were conservatives trying to find something against ACORN.  Guess what, ACORN handed it to them on a silver platter.  If there was some sort of slanting done on how they go about business that would be one thing.  They didn't, they just posted the ENTIRE video.  Watch it, then tell me to worry about the intentions of the filmmaker instead of the intentions of ACORN.

EDIT:  Good news, the census bureau has severed ties with ACORN, they will not be assisting in the census.

Michael Moore is a filmmaker. Not a journalist.

ACORN trying to justify and legitimize prostitution and trafficking in underage girls had nothing to do with the journalist's beliefs. It had everything to do with ACORN.

O'Keefe is an activist, not a journalist.  Journalists at least attempt to be objective.

The footage shown was edited.  If it was unedited, it would be journalism, because it would show the full context of the conversation.  O'Keefe clearly had an agenda just like Moore does.

Now, I'm not suggesting that the unedited footage would be any less incriminating, but it would certainly be more credible as a news source.
