BALTIMORE — The nonprofit housing group ACORN has fired two employees at its Baltimore office who were seen on hidden-camera video giving advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman pretending to be a prostitute.

Beck predicted this. ACORN employees go right under the train when expedient.

Maybe they quit due to a better offer from Van Jones.

acorn needs to be abolished completely

[RobRoy]

At this rate the whole organization will be under the train eventually.

The statement also says the video was an attempt to smear ACORN and that undercover teams attempted similar stunts at three other ACORN offices.

From your post to God’s ears!

Fired isn’t good enough. Prison, is a fine start, followed by an independent prosecutor to investigate Acorn.

Bumping both threads... (Diff sources)

was the one who was going to prepare tax papers licensed and does she pay taxes on her collected “fees”?

Seems to be firing season. We need to keep the heat up.

Besides the mistrust Americans have about Obamacare, we have even more distrust of ACORN that anyone reports. IMHO the czars, amnesty cap and trade and the SEIU (not necessarily in that order) round out some of the major concerns we have with this administration. I didn’t add transparency or bi-partisanship because, despite Obama’s claim of it, neither exist under this administration.

I wonder if any Fox News reporters will ask John McCain what he thinks of this scandal?

[blueyon]

oh and i guess that makes everything alright again

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. has backed off his plan to investigate wrongdoing by the liberal activist group ACORN, saying “powers that be” put the kibosh on the idea.
