James O'Keefe videotaped two ACORN staffers giving tips, many of them illegal, to a pimp and his prostitute. Well, James O'Keefe played the part of the pimp and had another woman posing as a prostitute. The couple visited ACORN's Baltimore office to ask about housing for a prostitution business. In the video, an ACORN staffer offers to falsify tax returns for the prostitute and suggests claiming underaged girls as dependents. A spokesperson for ACORN says that the videotape offers a "false" portrayal of ACORN and that O'Keefe has been trying this act at other ACORN offices without success.
ACORN stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and is an organization that advocates for low- and moderate-income families by working on a variety of social issues.

A doctor in our town was caught selling prescriptions.
Close all the hospitals and lock-up all the doctors.
Some cops were involved in organized crime.
Dismantle all the police departments.
Teachers having relationships with students.
Close all the schools.
Am I over-reacting?
If not, please provide your precinct number and your claim will be investigated.
Hearing someone, "bragging in line to vote in november that he had been paid by ACORN $20 each time he voted and that he'd already voted 13 times that day," is not evidence. Braggers are known to be oh, so truthful!
Acorn REGISTERS voters, it doesn't have the budget to pay people to vote 13 times.
Here is what I found:
Stuart Katzenberg, lead organizer for ACORN's Maryland chapter, said ACORN is questioning the validity of the video but had fired the employees who appeared in it because their handling of the situation "did not meet ACORN's standards of professionalism."
Katzenberg said ACORN offices in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles had received visits under similar scenarios, but those people were turned away.
He said the Baltimore employees did not know they were being videotaped. He said Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, the supposed prostitute and pimp, consistently misrepresented their intentions. He said the ACORN employees, a PART-TIME RECEPTIONIST and a PART-TIME TAX PREPARER, FILED NO TAX RETURNS AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. ACORN now is trying to determine whether the videotaping broke any laws, Katzenberg said.

So, you won't hear much about the good Acorn employees who acted responsibly, only those who were bad employees.
And, of course, those who participated in the plan to make Acorn look bad, are also right-wingers. SURPRISE!
If he posts them, THEN we can check them for accuracy.
If this was one case, I would agree that maybe some crooked people got busted.
The fact is the history of acorn's intimidation tactics, indictments for voter fraud and registration is a mile long and getting longer by the day.

ACORN's Aggressive Use of Intimidation Tactics
We've had a lot of experience in New Mexico with the criminal activities of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, better known as ACORN. Due to New Mexico's role as a swing state, ACORN operatives are already generating more than their fair share of complaints for legally questionable tactics in this election cycle:

I already posted the article from Glen Beck's show under the Defund Acorn topic. He proved that Acorn was behind the initmidation of AIG employees and their families. Our tax payer money is being used to intimidate private citizens. We have to stop this!
I also have an article about the Compulsory youth organization program that Obama is starting. Are these future Acorn members in Training?
Who is next to be intimidated? Anyone who disagrees with Obama's agenda?

The truth is abundant on this group. Of course you have to be willing to look and seek the knowledge.

Time for them to be dismantled.
You right...nothing to see here.....
NOT for instances of voter fraud or even voter registration fraud, which are violations of election law.
Nice try, though.
