  • ACORN

    Breaking News, Latest News and Current News from FOXNews.com. Breaking news and video. Latest Current News: U.S., World, Entertainment, Health, Business, Technology, Politics, Sports.


    So, that ACORN rep's idea of reform is to ensure the safety of illegal brothels that exploit underage, presumably kidnapped or runaway, illegal aliens in her community.

    And how about them using tax money to commit tax fraud?

    This bunch needs to be shut down ASAP.

      That was so "out there" that if someone told me this afternoon it was fake, I think I would believe them.


      You cannot even begin to talk about "right wing nutjobs" when the government supports this kind of crap.

      How is this NOT criminal?


      BTW,


      1)There will be no other coverage by network news of this story other than Fox.

      2)This is a perfect example of your tax dollars doing "make work". That is creating a job (where nothing gets done and nothing needed to be done but we're going to hire someone to do it anyway) that produces nothing and staff it with the most unskilled, stupid, left wing ass kissing idiot we can find.

      3)If someone from planned parenthood tried to talk an underage girl out of having an abortion when she wanted one, there would be mass rioting by the left and every media outlet would have it crawling 24/7.

        Come on people, ACORN is providing a valuable service to people otherwise unable to make their way through living a productive life.

        Also, this kind of activity doesn't occur at every ACORN location, just at the ones in markets that have prostitution.

            Evidently, the undercover film crew had tried this at other ACORN offices, but this is the only one that worked. At least this is the only video they released.

            I'm guessing that the MSM won't show it because they weren't the ones that did the undercover filming (a la "To Catch a Predator", etc).

              Yeah, this was very unusual, atypical and rare instance of impropriety at an acorn office.

              It's probably the only time it's ever happened.

                Still, it is news. They could have reported on it. I'm sure if they did it would have went something like this:

                Fox news plays "Got You" reporting on Acorn affiliate............

                It looks to me, so far, that the State Run Media has a sacred cow, Acorn.
                Time will tell, sounds like Fox News has another big story coming on Acorn. How long will the others keep turning their heads?

                  I wonder how long it will be before the Ministry of Truth shuts down Fox News.

                  **Breaking news**
                  ABC's John Stossel moves to Fox News. Apparently he was a little too real to remain employed within the Rahm Emanuel Media Empire.

                    2nd Acorn office, this time in Washington D.C. caught on video offering similiar advice as the one in Baltimore.

                      I'm not trying to read anything into this, but I wonder why they've only targeted ACORN offices in mainly black areas? Or maybe these are the only areas that have fell for the sting so far.

                      It looks like the two in Baltimore got fired yesterday.

                      Second ACORN Video Shows Workers Helping Pimp & Prostitute in Washington DC

                      Two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired on Thursday after offering to help a man and a woman who posed as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes. On Friday, another secretly shot video tape has surfaced which shows the same couple getting very similar advice from ACORN workers in Washington D.C.

                        MD could charge filmmaker who made ACORN video?

                        Whether or not prosecutors charge any ACORN officials in Baltimore, the filmmaker himself could be in hot water.

                        A Maryland state statute requires consent from all parties whenever a conversation is taped, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Violations of the law are punishable by a maximum of five years in jail and a fine up to $10,000.

                        But that statute does not apply to videotape recordings — only to phone calls or other electronic “communications,” Napolitano argued — meaning the filmmaker is likely in the clear.
                        Sounds like it's okay though, since it wasn't a phone conversation.

                          Don't forget folks, working as a community organizer for ACORN is what qualified Barry O to be our president. In fact he is still "organizing". He is giving the American people the "organ" with every bill he passes.

                            I wonder why you wonder. Why is the location of the offices relevant?

                              I don't think the locations are relevant. I was just throwing that out there to get people's responses, nothing more. We won't know more about what locations they've target until either more videos are released or other locations are named.

                              The only other locations I've read about are from the article "ACORN Workers Fired Over Video" which says:

                              An ACORN spokesman says the conservative filmmakers tried unsuccessfully to "pull this sham" at the group's offices in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. But they hit the jackpot in Baltimore and the video went viral Thursday with the help of Andrew Breitbart's new Big Government web site and Fox News.
