Officials with the controversial community organizing group ACORN were secretly videotaped offering to assist two individuals posing as a pimp and a prostitute, encouraging them to lie to the IRS and how to claim underage girls from South America as dependents.
In the videotape on BigGovernment.com, made on July 24, James O'Keefe, a 25-year-old independent filmmaker, posed as a pimp with a 20-year-old woman named "Kenya" who posed as a prostitute while visiting ACORN's office in Baltimore. The couple told ACORN staffers they wanted to secure housing where the woman could continue to maintain a prostitution business.
On the videotape, "Kenya" can be seen telling an ACORN staffer that she earns roughly $8,000 a month. The ACORN employee then suggests to "Kenya" that ACORN could submit a tax return for 2008 showing that she made $9,600 for the entire year — instead of $96,000 — and that ACORN would charge "Kenya" $50 instead of the usual $150 fee for preparing her taxes.
The ACORN staffer can also be seen suggesting that the prostitute list her occupation as a freelance "performing artist."
The "pimp" later says that he and "Kenya" plan to bring up to 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador to work as prostitutes. Although an ACORN staffer points out their plans are illegal, she also suggests that the girls can be claimed as dependents.
The staffer goes on to suggest that as many as three of the underage girls can be listed as dependents at the home, but a "flag" will be raised if as many as 13 are listed.
A second ACORN employee can be heard on the audiotape suggesting that the couple join... for an annual cost of $120 prior to attending one of its first-time homebuyer seminars, which are underwritten with taxpayer funds.

crickets....
Yeah, I think so.
These people just disgust me.
This will wipe HEALTHCARE of the screen for sure!!
ACORN! PROSTITUTES! COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS....INDEED!
HEADLINES.
Her name was “Kenya”?
Ain’t believin’ that until I see her birth certificate!
Gosh. I wonder why there isn’t a RICO investigation of ACORN. /s
I can only hope that ACORN is going DOWN~!!!! Hopefully more to come. Some of Glenn’s shows in the past two weeks has mentioned ACORN and growing into a BIG OAK tree and other clues now that are more obvious with this and the Miami story breaking. Hmmmmmmmmmmm Taxpayers are gonna be ticked and of course this is Obama’s qualification for our White House. Lyin’ Jerk.
The sad thing is, Obama was elected largely by those “signed up” by Acorn - so one has to wonder, besides his eligibility issues, was he even elected by the popular vote?
So, Huggy Bear was really a Recreational Services Coordinator and could have claimed all of his Personal Recreational Specialists as dependants, eh?
Crickets? HAH! You’re hearing Conmyers and Rangel ignoring the corruption intimaely connected to the criminal enterprise dnc.
....folks this is classic....Baltimore receives $1 million a day in HUD money for housing...when HUD’s inspector general asked where the money was going, they were attacked as “racist”
You don’t like Beck. You like when China gets our missiles. Let’s see what else.
Someone on Fox leaked this before Glenn’s show? Why am I not surprised. Must be Glenn’s “good buddy” Harvard crony O’Smiley.
I hope Beck’s surprise is something else, cuz I’m taping it and want to be surprised.
Doesn’t matter if someone leaks it, it will still be Glen’s story given the size of his audience and the PitBull manner in which he will attack the issue...
It’s an Obama Justice Department; nothing will happen.
Respectfully disagree:
This gives Republicans ammunition to attack ACORN without appearing “racist”.
This story is going to be hammered and we WILL see the nuts at ACORN falling from the tree....
THIS is where Obama came out of!
The democrat party coaught on tape.
God bless Fox!
