    Second Video Shows ACORN Officials Helping 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' in Washington Office

    Friday , September 11, 2009
    ACORN Officials Videotaped Telling 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' How to Lie to IRS - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

    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.

    The newly released videotape, shot on July 25, shows ACORN staffers explaining to the pair how they can hide the woman's professed work — prostitution — and get a loan that will help them establish a brothel.

    James O'Keefe, a 25-year-old independent filmmaker, posed as the pimp while visiting the ACORN office, accompanied by 20-year-old Hannah Giles, who posed as the prostitute. On a videotape provided to FOXNews.com, they are seen receiving guidance to establish the woman as the sole proprietor of a bogus company to mask the nature of her business.

    "She's not going to put on (the loan application) that she's doing prostitution ... she doesn't have to," the ACORN staffer says. "You don't have to sit back and tell people what you do."

    The ACORN staffer is heard suggesting that O'Keefe can purchase a house, and as the landlord, if he is ever questioned by authorities, he can say he was unaware of the illegal business going on inside.

    "[W]hen the police ask you, (tell them) you don't know where (the money is) coming from," the staffer said. "We are looking out for you."

    The ACORN employee later suggests that O'Keefe, who said he had a budding political career, not linger at the house in case people "put the dots together" and leave him "smeared and tarnished" by his association with his prostitute girlfriend. She should keep her business "low key," the employee said.

    An ACORN spokesman told FOX News the group would need to look at the full tape and transcript before commenting.

    One day before the Washington video was shot, O'Keefe and Giles sought help from ACORN workers in Baltimore, who told the pair how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador that they said they said they wanted to import as prostitutes.

    As he did in the taping in Baltimore, O'Keefe told the Washington officers that he had plans to bring as many as 10 women from El Salvador to work as prostitutes in Giles' "business."

    "There's like 10 girls," O'Keefe says. "There's ten El Salvodoreans."

    The ACORN staffer replies, "I understand what you are saying."
    ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — calls itself a network of families "working together for social justice and stronger communities," according to its Web site ( ACORN: Home )

    The organization has been accused by conservatives and Republicans of committing fraud in voter registration drives around the country, and reaction to the videotape came swiftly after its release on Thursday.

    "Taxpayers should be outraged that their money has gone to an organization that, in addition to facing charges of voter fraud and tax violations, is willing to facilitate prostitution," said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

    "As this video confirms, ACORN continues to operate as a criminal enterprise."

    The first videotape, made in the Baltimore offices of ACORN, was made public Thursday on the political blog BigGovernment.com. That night, after portions of the video were aired throughout the day on FOX News, the group fired the two women who assisted O'Keefe and Giles in Baltimore.
    There are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations. The act of reaching into one's own pockets to help a fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pocket is despicable and worthy of condemnation.

    I don't believe that they Fired those People, I'm Thinking that they just Transferred them somewhere Else, So they would Keep their Mouths Shut.. The thing is that the Firings (If there were Any) Should have started at the Top and trickled down because they were supposed to be the Supervisors Right? I also think that with the Low level people Being Fired That Fast (If There Were Any Firings) is a way of trying to avoid any type of Investigation by showing that they, ACORN Acted Promptly by Getting Rid of those People, which would direct the Blame on These Fired people Instead of themselves therefore the Administration would believe or help cover up any wrong doing and No Investigation! Just something to think about!

    Here's a rather lengthy article from NRO Online by Stanley Kurtz outlining Obama's involvement in ACORN. Considering it was written in May 2008, it would appear that Kurtz was looking into the right crystal ball.

    Inside Obama’s Acorn by Stanley Kurtz on National Review Online==

    "...In any case, if you’re looking for the piece of the puzzle that confirms and explains Obama’s network of radical ties, gather your Acorns this spring. Or next winter, you may just be left watching the “President from Acorn” at his feast."

    And sure enough - here we are.

    Oh Bullsh*t.

    The state of Maryland can't do this because these are journalists, they are not entertainers or people like Linda Tripp.

    If we are going to play games with the idea of "if you do that, we are going to go after you" cr*p, then it stops at the door step of first amendment which the last time I looked state laws don't really apply.

    There are a bunch of people who shouldn't draw one more breath of air on U.S. soil. I don't really care where they go as long as they are forever banished from setting foot on any U.S. soil, and that should start at the very top and trickle down to at least a few thousand breathers. What a fine bunch of people. Trash fits very appropriately as their descriptor as well as criminals and scum.
