ACORN Prostitution Investigation
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 5:29 PM
Meredith posted on this earlier, but in case you haven't heard about this story yet (it has also been all over FOX today), these videos are a must-see ...





Check out Andrew Brietbart's new site, Big Government, for more.

Couldn't make this up. It's just too bizzare. It would be funny if it weren't a tax payer funded boondogle.
T.C. writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 6:18 PM
Ain't It A Hole In The Boat?
OBAMA must be proud of this gang. Maybe he'll make the ACORN people czars. Sure. There's always a czar position open. They'll be all set.

As soon as they get out of jail.

............................................................................

By the way, Glenn Beck devoted his entire show to the ACORN story.

What are the odds NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS and MSNBC will cover it? No odds. It's a sure thing they won't cover it. No line on sure things.

Demand Action
We all should be calling our representatives and the white house to DEMAND an immediate shut down of all Acorn offices; an investigation into all activities and criminal charges.

Two fired?
Just in, Acorn announces two employees fired. what a joke.
Of course they think that this should end the discussion.
Eric Holder: DO YOUR JOB.
Bill writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 7:11 PM

Is some one here deluded?
Keep on the subject which is ACORN. I notice that name calling or changing the subject are common tatics for Obama's supporters.
Steven Den Beste writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 7:30 PM
Census
What bothers me the most about this is that Obama wants to let ACORN work on the census next year.
T.C. writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 7:33 PM

It's early!

The guy gets more deluded by the minute. After a few more of his posts, you'll bet he's living in The Land Of Hatchy Malachy.

It's a safe bet.

ACORN an IRS and H&R Block partner
ACORN completed 32,000 tax returns in 2007 alone - they are a "partner" of the IRS (seriously) and H&R Block - and have received MILLIONS to do FREE tax returns.

Only in Democrat Party are extremists...
...given access and allowed to get as close to the power circles in the U.S. government:
Van Jones
Cass Sunstein
ACORN officials
Barney Frank and his prostitution proclivities (never mind)
John Holdren


The Van Jones story has yet to make the radar screen of the MSM.

This ACORN story? Nowhere to be found anywhere other than Fox News and some local cable channel in hinterland.

It's no wonder they have such free reign.
clarityseeker writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 7:43 PM
Steven Den Beste
Exactly.

To give extreme organizations and extreme individuals such free access to our central governmental activities and responsibilites is reprehensible.

Can you imagine the screaming and kicking the Left would engage in----they would be absolutely apoplectic if some skinhead organization gained similar access.
Geeeeeeeeesh, even if a Christian organization was brought in to do census work, or, tax returns. They would be put into a catatonic state over such an event.
Eugene writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 7:43 PM

You show such poor taste.

Bringing in your bigoted problems with Christians on this subject.

I know you are disappointed that these people were busted and then fired. Because they, as do you, likely hold people of faith with the same contempt as you. And when you post things like that you are only here to spread vitriol and hate. Something your dear leader thrives on.

And you're probably upset that since this incident, ACORN won't be delivering you any Hoochie this weekend. Payment for the hate you attempt to spread on these pages.

You are nothing but spiteful troll coop.

With nothing but hate to spew!

Patrice writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 7:53 PM

That's right, they get free training and federal money to prepare tax returns for low income people. Nice that they got caught on camera saying how much they charge for that free service.
Where is the IRS in this, no follow up?
Tazzmax writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 8:21 PM
'Chicken/cooper
should be ignored,...he's just another "sock puppet apologist" for his messiah, "Chimpy O".


The RATs can never be expected to investigate the ACORNholers, they're in bed with them,....and they're all liars when they insist that illegals won't get govt health ins.

Not to mention, they refuse to leglislate "tort reform" because they're in bed with the trial lawyers!

They're ALL a bunch of lying SOBs and think the American people are stupid enough to "buy into" their crap.

Repubs, grow "a set" and join Wilson by "calling out" all those liars,.....IOW, take the gloves off!

seems Obama wants to end unemployment by giving out jobs at the whitehouse, guess thats where they CREATED NEW JOBS, and the regular civilian sector jobs werent created so they can only be added to the mix as SAVED. WHAT A MISTAKE THIS WAS. and the next three years will seem like an eternity to our nation, cant we just kick him out now and start over.

Eugene yo say to me,

"Bringing in your bigoted problems with Christians on this subject."
What Christians?
I called attention to a secret, cynical, tax-exempt political group with some very disturbing behaviors. These guys use the guise of christianity, to accomplish sinister, selfish, and immoral deeds. If these are your christians, God save you.

"And you're probably upset that since this incident, ACORN won't be delivering you any Hoochie this weekend. With nothing but hate to spew!"

If I am guilty of hate and poor taste, I can't even hope to compete with this crowd.

I have long suspected that you were hatched and not born. Thanks for clearing that up for me

When we all get Health care, and we are all equally broke, to whom will you turn/

We are not broke, we are flat assed broke. its not funny any more.

Economy, if you give the economy a chance, your social agande's might have a chance, but you dam the economy, and expand the social agenda's. Its along the same line of thinking you can do something about global warming when you live in CAlifornia, but it will have towait until the fire dept. puts out the fires. Come on wake up and smell the coffee. if intentions were all that mattered, not an acre would have burned in Cal. and every baby seal would be safe, but you can no more stop fires in cal. than any one can influence the tempature on this planet.

All we are saying is give ECONOMY a chance
coopmeister writes: Thursday, September, 10, 2009 11:09 PM
Mike.....What?
hey fella,

I have no ideas what you are trying to say, are talking about, or why you are addressing your fears to me.

What's up with the collection obsession with people's births?

Really Mike, baby seals? Dude, ever considered a mental health visit?
Eugene writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 12:41 AM
coop
Compete?

You set the bar, pal. Bringing up your hatred of Christians on a thread about prostitution?

Taking a shot like that on this thread?

And you are complaining?

What stones.

You even went as far as to work good people on this site with a story about a dead wife and poor daughter to work your game.

I think that act speaks for itself don't you coop?

But like every Alinksyite you eventually show your true colors.

When you write a post like that, you are advertising that you are here to do nothing but instigate.

Don't like it here.

Go away.......

Stay here and deal with it.

But don't embarrass yourself by whining.
coopmeister writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 1:14 AM
Eugene,..Alinsky?
Bringing up my disdain for the abject hypocrisy surrounding Glen Beck's muckraking.

Odd that you conclude that I hate Christianity.
I hate the exploitation of Christianity to further tax-exempt cynical political ends, in the same way you hate community action groups who get grant monies and get infiltrated with amoral criminals.(who get fired)

"play you?" You are indeed a bitter man.

p.s.
I lost interest in Alinsky when I was 16,
Eugene writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 1:57 AM
A bitter man coop..
is one who engages only to intiate trouble and deep rooted feelings of hatred that he himslef cannot understand.

A bitter man feels the deep need to try to push themself upon others and interrupt the normal eb and flow with reason or sense.

If you were here at all to converse you would show a little decency.

But you don't have any to show. You have platitudes and verbal hand grenades you place when you please.

You might have a valid arguement regarding your problem with Chrisitian lobby and their politics.
And therein lies your cover.

But you blow that cover and demonstrate nothing but your bitterness and hate by using the forum on a prostitution case to illuminate your argument about Christians. It makes perfect sense to you of course. Bitterness does that to a man's judgement.

As it clearly has with you.

Given up on alinsky at 16? Not hardly coopmeister.

And does the 'meister' infer you hate Jews as well?

I have a good guess to the answer of that question.

Oh and another solid give away of your dereangement is the use of "Glen Beck" to open your response to me.

I just called you out for lying about your family and the first sentence you type is about Glen Beck?

Your bitterness and general mental inadequacies on display for all to see.
Eugene writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 2:12 AM
Correction
The second papragraph should read:

Long day.....
coopmeister writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 10:16 AM
Eugene..not a forum
Eugene,
This blog is not about prostitution.
It is an allegation of rampant corruption, at an agency.
It is based on an a partisan activist's undercover video featuring two, stupid, and ethically challenged, employees, caught being stupid and ethically challenged.
They were fired.

An audit of that Baltimore office is warranted.

Needless to say, being accused of mentioning my family circumstances, to "work" a discussion...is deeply insulting, and
very telling about you, not me.

The misinformation. and craven distortions often written here, need to be "called out."

So Eugene, see you on the trail.



Eugene writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 10:51 AM

"Eugene,

There you go coop. Whatever it is, it still doens't explain or defend why you bring up your contempt for Christians on this thread.

Because you can't defend what you said and continue to say. Not without just coming out and admitting how much hate people of faith and others. That you indeed are not here for a civil debate of the issues. Just to spew venom in you own little coop manner.

Actually you should admit what you are and why you are here, There would be more dignity in that. But you lack the character.

You just want to pick at the scab. Either for money or spite. I don't know which. But the more you write the clearer it becomes.

"Audit in Balitimore" You really don't know what to say do you?

Ever hear of quitting while you are behind? You've already dug a big hole. Why call in a backhoe?

And making up a 'family'? coop I don't know where to begin with that........

What does it say about me? It says that if plan to see me along the trail and run your hate....

You might want to get a bigger boat.
coopmeister writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 11:14 AM
Eugene...yada yada yada
I hate the perversion of Christianity. The distortion of the teachings of Christ to fit uniquely contemporary political ends.

Christianity did not begin with the Protestant Reformation or the Neo-Evangelical reform movement, in the late 40's.

I am as concerned about America as you claim to be.

Your bizarre attack on my personal life...
is irrelevant to me.

Big differences
"I hate the exploitation of Christianity to further tax-exempt cynical political ends, in the same way you hate community action groups who get grant monies and get infiltrated with amoral criminals."

There is so much wrong with this statement that I don't know where to begin. Here's a start,

Christianity v. ACORN

tax exemption v. coerced funding

"cynical political ends" v. "cynical political ends"

Which "tax-exempt, cynical ends" of Christianity have oppressed you the most in your lifetime?

PS: Anticipating your next question, I place the blame for the economic collapse on ACORN's (and others) efforts to force banks to make bad loans.
Eugene writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 11:34 AM
coop
yawn...... You know what you are. And better yet. We know what you are.

Keep on digging, 'coop master'. You must not need to have that backhoe back until tomorrow.

Here's an idea coop. Got anything to say about ACORN and child prostitution?

Or maybe income tax invasion?

It's against my better judgement, but I'll give you another chance.

Can you denounce the actions of ACORN without throwing in a swipe at some group you hate?

Don't make a bigger fool of yourself now.

Ahhh.. Don't worry... I'm just fooling with you now, 'coop master'. I know you couldn't do that on the best day you ever had. And you might hurt yourself. No need for that.

I know that unless it fits your format of hate and bigotry or it won't upset those 'right wingers' or Glen Beck the answer is no.

You've made that real clear 'coop master'.

Pathetic.....
coopmeister writes: Friday, September, 11, 2009 11:36 AM
Plumber..to start
As reported by the Washington Post and National Journal, Jack Abramoff's money from lobbying went to start a non-profit organization called the U.S. Family Network, founded with the help of a top aide to Tom DeLay while he was still in DeLay's employ (his salary at the time paid by—you guessed it—taxpayers).
DeLay even wrote a fundraising letter in its behalf. The group announced that its purpose was to promote policies favorable for "families, the economic prosperity, social improvement, moral fitness, and general well being of the United States," and its fund-raising screeds warned that the American family "is being attacked from all sides: crime, drugs, pornography . . . and gambling."
But its first donation came from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, followed by other Abramoff clients who couldn't care less about the professed moral agenda.

The U.S. Family Network turned out to be another scam in the Abramoff-DeLay money laundering machine. Its money paid for attack ads on Democrats, bought a townhouse three blocks from DeLay's Congressional quarters, providing him with free office space where he could go to raise funds for the Machine, and awarded DeLay's wife a sizable salary.

ACORN fired the 2 embarrassingly stupid, immoral workers "caught on tape."

Just like "bad cops" caught in gross misdeeds, the Jim Bakkers of Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, the Shriner's and Jester's caught in all manner of hedonist crime, corruption, unfortunately, is the shadow-side of humanity, seeking to improve the lot of their fellow man.

This whole ACORN thing is an obvious efort to somehow discredit the current administration.
If the collective "we" seek to identify the "evil-doers" we should focus on all of them.
