Another Pimp and Ho ACORN Franchise busted
2009-09-11
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.
I eagerly await the statement that, just as Jesus befriended prostitutes and tax collectors, so too does ACORN not discriminate. Of course, Jesus advised his followers to "render unto Caesar," ie pay taxes and obey the law, but one could see why ACORN might ignore that quibble.

#8  One of the big problems I have with practicing homosexuals active in Church functions is, as Jesus told Mary Magdeline, "Go and sin no more". Jesus forgave the sin, but didn't want to see any more of it. Being a practicing homosexual is to engage repeatedly in what the Church recognizes as a sin. How can one lead others to Christ, urge them to repent (give up their sinful ways), and be "washed clean" while continuing to flaunt the values Jesus taught? ACORN cannot leave their "sinful"(I.E., unlawful) behavior, because that behavior is the sole reason ACORN exists. They already have some 160 different "fronts", spread out from Maine to Hawaii. ACORN needs an independent prosecutor to go after them on RICO charges.

#7  Wait a few months and place Acorn back on the Census list.

Either that or have just Acorn spawn a (ahem) 'new improved' organization to handle the Census stuffing.

#6  Ya think Obama wants to attract any attention to himself and Acorn at this moment?

Breibart a sharp guy. He opens this fight on a Thursday and then dropped Round 2 on a Friday; a slow news day and the 911 Anniversary to boot. Most Sunday news shows are already taped. Spidey sense says there is a Round 3 set to go Monday.

Via the Ace link above, Acorn has admitted that this stunt was tried at at least five offices. Oopps!

#1  Sounds like they have experience in giving advise to 'not hang around' the business to politicians.

One wonders if any acorn-associated politicans also have houses they don't 'hang around' much...
