The scandal surrounding the left-wing activist organization ACORN has spread to New York, with employees at its Brooklyn office caught on video helping supposed ladies of the night get loans for their dream houses of ill repute.
Rather than reminding the women that prostitution is dangerous and illegal and advising them to change their careers, counselors at the social-services group shockingly offer suggestions on how they can launder their earnings.

D’oh!
Well now anytime a Left wing loon gets in your face about standing up for the Constitution ,just Quote John Belushi from the Move “Blues Brothers” and say “How Much For the LITTLE girl ?” Acorn Acorn !
Yesterday’s interview on Fox they seem to indicate that they have footage of other offices doing the same thing.
But they are holding it close to the vest so they can make ACORN look even more stupid. Every time ACORN comes out and say, “but those are the only times, we’re mostly honest”. They’ll release footage of another location and make ACORN look like liars all over again.
I like this couple’s style.
I’m praying for their safety, though. God bless ‘em.
O’Reilly had Megan Kyndall (spelling?) on a few days ago, and she indicated that she had something big on Acorn, and that someone very high in the organization admitted to her that they have serious corruption problems. She said Fox will break that story soon.
Now ACORN is theatening to sue Fox news...
I think Fox or even THIS VIDEO producer should contact the fired employess and convince them to SUE ACORN for firing them when they were just doing what ACORN wanted them to do!!!!!!!!!!!
FOX doesn’t appear to be too concerned about the lawsuits. They keep running the videos and keep exposing new ones.
Wanna build a big reputation quickly? Expose ACORN!!!
I sent an email to my Representative demanding he support Rep. Charles Boustany call for a hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee as soon as possible to investigate ACORN’s illegal activities and immediately end federal funding to ACORN. I suggest everyone contact their politicians for the same reasons.
Just a little old-fashioned money laundering, Indonesian-style!
Why aren’t our worthless representatives demanding a RICO investigation by now?
” worthless representatives “
Asked and answered....
Baltimore, DC and now NYC... which town is next?
This is great stuff
It’s a well established fact that ACORN is a Corrupt and Criminal Organization. Even with a detailed report issued by a Congressional Committee, nothing gets done about ACORN.
By the way, ACORN changed their name last week to ACORN has changed its name to Community Organizations International (COI) this will have the effect of hiding them from public view until all the stings blow over.
The ACORN REPORT = http://republicans.oversight.house.gov/media/pdfs/20090723ACORNReport.pdf
We’ll need to find out if the Census Bureau, who while cutting ties to ACORN, has inked any new contracts with COI...the new name for ACORN!
The Republicans had 12 years to defund and bust up that criminal enterprise. We knew what ACORN was back in the 1990’s, and yet the gutless, clueless Republicans kept passing budgets that funded ACORN.
Ooh. Nice guess. I guess I’m going with you on it — I say Boston’s next, too.
A July 2009 congressional report -- titled “Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise?” -- accused ACORN of massive fraud, money laundering, and racketeering directed from the highest levels of the organization's management.

The second sentence of the first paragraph of the Executive Summary says it all...
Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.
