The E. F. Hutton of Prostitution When ACORN talks, pimps and hookers listen.
Rich Lowry
The radical activist group ACORN is the E. F. Hutton of prostitution. It stands ready to provide discreet advice on setting up a brothel and engaging in other, associated acts of criminality. When ACORN talks, pimps and hookers listen.
This has been established by an audacious video sting operation undertaken by guerrilla conservative documentarian James O’Keefe, 25, and his sidekick Hannah Giles, 20. O’Keefe posed as a pimp and Giles as a prostitute seeking help getting a mortgage for a brothel. In cities around the country, workers for ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — happily obliged.
The videos are 60 Minutes for the YouTube age. Posted at the new website BigGovernment.com and aired on Fox News, they are yet another indication of the loosening grip of the legacy media. A couple of 20-somethings crafted a devastating exposé with just a hidden camera and some gumption. The Census Bureau immediately severed its ties with ACORN.
In Baltimore, ACORN staff assured O’Keefe and Giles that the group doesn’t “discriminate” — i.e., has no standards whatsoever. Giles is told if she makes $96,000 a year selling sex, she should tell the government she only makes $9,600. Her occupation, meanwhile, should be reported as “performing artist.” If the conversation had gone longer, surely she would have been advised how to apply for a National Endowment for the Arts grant.
O’Keefe notes that they want a house for 13 underage girls who will be imported from El Salvador to work as prostitutes. Only three — not all 13 — of the girls can be listed as dependents, ACORN prudently advises. And so long as they are under 16, they will make....

My goof. I meant to write Hannah and James, not Hannah and Giles. And I had already exceeded my quota of goofs for this day.
Yes. The camera apparently defaults to the year it was manufactured unless reset manually each time.
Also in the California tape Obama is mentioned (when the issue of campaign filings came up) which would have been unlikely in 2005 as he was just a back bencher senator back then.
Sorry I can not help you with the technical film questions, but I have a question of my own. I notice O’moron on FNC tonight had a guest who said that O’Keefe and Giles were thrown out of many ACORN offices and of course Mr. “I want a MSM network anchor job” O’Moron started repeating that they were thrown out of several or many ACORN offices and repeated his Sept 12 crowd of 75,000 or something like that.
My question have O’Keefe and Giles admitted they were thrown out of any ACORN offices? Were the police really called in Philly?
Maybe ACORN should start posting on Craigslist when looking for new volunteers lol
This has to be cleaned up and fast.
America’s image around the world becomes the great whore. My bible Eschatology is wanting but I can only pray that America has not become the great whore of Revelation 17.
