Breaking News: Third video released today, Acorn exposed again, this time in NYC. Same scenario as others, except that they recommended that the prostitute open several different bank accounts and only deposit $500 at a time, so as not to alert authorities, and even bury her cash under the house.
Can we not all agree there are better places to spend this money than in support of such a corrupt morally inept organization.[/QUOTE]
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the Congressional investigations
Yes, I agree 100%, we should investigate fraud and wrongdoing and if those perpertrators are found guilty they should be punished. The only problem I see is that some on the right want to be selective in their pursuits. Any talk of investigating crimes in the former administration is viewed as a witch hunt. Those who authorized and carried out torture are viewed as heros. A no bid contract to a former Vice Presidents company which resulted in massive over billing to the taxpayers for shoddy work that killed some of our men and women and sometimes no work done at all is viewed as part of doing business in wartime. Losing anywhere from 9 to 20 billion in cash in Iraq is seen as no big deal. Let's treat them all the same and get to bottom of these scandals and let those responsible fall no matter on which side of the aisle they may stand.

Well, a FOURTH video of Acorn is out today. This one will blow your mind. (No link just yet but will post one). To make it even more interesting, the prostitute said to Acorn worker that she'd like to educate all of those underage children [she was bringing over from El Salvador to become prostitutes] so that they could get loans through Acorn Housing later on and run their own "Brothels". The Acorn worker replied 'now dont educate them too much, then they wont need you at all, just teach them as little as possible to get by'. Then the pimp asked how he could legally fund political campaigns using these underage kids...and Acorn proceeded to guide them on just how to do that...and gave them names of the senators and congressmen who supported Acorn (the "non partisan" group). The prostitute then stated she had murdered people. {Edit to correct: The ACORN worker stated she had actually shot and killed her boyfriend} in an exchange of stories between worker and prostitute.
It might be interesting to note that the Teachers Union donated 1.7 million dollars to Acorn last year. Wish we could get that money back. So many good things could be done for the children in the schools with this money.
P.S. When Charlie Gibson of ABC news was asked to give a comment about the videos of Acorn today, he replied he had never heard of any of them. What is going on with the media?

You can go to CNN and MSNBC's web sites and not find one mention of this story. Patrick Swayze's death, Kanye West, the shoe thrower says he was tortured, but not one d@mn mention of these videos, the Senate pulling their funding and their elimination from their involvement in the census. They so desparately are trying to keep this story from getting one shred of attachment to the President. Think if Bush would have had the same level of involvement with ACORN. There would be so many hearings and investigations already underway. Hell, his people are getting investigated for waterboarding the mastermind behind 3,000 deaths that happened on our soil. You dems have awoken a sleeping giant, and you aren't going to like it one bit when we start investigating Obama. I'll beat you to the punch of when it happens by saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all racists. Pretty soon there will be a smiley face making the jerking motion...and it will be the perfect response to the knee jerk, played out comments about dissent = racist.

If there's evidence of Obama's wrongdoing bring it on. Til then looks like you'll be the only one in suspense.
You're going to start investigating Obama? You? What the hell are you going to do? If you have the power why don't you take things in their proper order and investigate the last Administration. I'm sure you are equally upset with Halliburton and affiliated companies and Blackwater to start with. There is plenty of investigating on these companies to keep you busy untill this story unfolds.

I pulled that post because I did not think it was proper but you answered it so quickly it was a futile effort. I think you put way to much emphasis on private contractors in Iraq but that is a personal opinion just as yours is. I think, if I remember correctly and it is possible I don't, 7 Billion to ACORN is a lot of money. Regardless of the amount, from every report I've seen, sketchy though they may be, they don't deserve one penny!

Ahhh, the tough guy. It's not a question of the word you're. Whether you like it or not you and I are both part of the royal we (Lebowski rip off
). The same royal we that has taken it upon itself to investigate our CIA, is the same royal we that will investigate the illegal government takeover of certain auto and banking companies, illegal firing of IG's and the channeling of millions into a whore house consulting firm. Only you won't like that one because your are emotionally invested in the new President's plan to have the government become a bigger part of your life. The seesaw tilts back and forth but one side has become very heavy in the recent months...writing their elected officials, calling, yelling, marching on Washington and downright screaming to be heard. If you think it was a great accomplishment that the left side of the royal we pushed government to investigate the CIA, just wait until the right side of the royal we shoves the microscope inside the current circus happening outside our windows!On to your second point...the same people that always get worked up about Haliburton would never get worked up over Gore pushing BS global warming while owning his carbon offset company Generation Investment Management. The plan is simply to globally tax us into submission over something that hasn't been scientifically proven, only for him to bank his everloving nutz off...but what the hey it's only getting colder by the day with a continuous stream of scientists yelling that this scam is complete BS, but you can't see past the neat little green sticker on the back of your prius. Again, I'm all for protecting the environment, but you'll have to put a better scam together than that cr@p to get me to stop pulling my boat around with my truck.
That must have been some incredible timing, I logged on and saw your post, answered it and moved on.
I believe it was established on this or another thread that ACORN has recieved between $30 and $50 million dollars, not anywhere near the $7 billion that has been claimed. If there are some in the organization guilty of crimes I say charge them, go to trail and let the courts decide their fate. I am going to reserve judgement of the whole organization until more comes to light. I feel the same way towards the private contractors, the majority of them have and are doing good work.
