A Pimp Grows in Brooklyn
JammieWearingFool — Can the humiliation for Barack Obama's pals from ACORN get any worse? Well, of course it could if the rest of the media actually reported the story outside of the New York Post and Big Government . 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 ...

Another ACORN Office Caught In Videotaped Sting
Hyscience — Via Michelle Malkin, It turns out that James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles didn't just accomplish videotape stings of ACORN offices in Baltimore and Washington D.C. where they exposed what Michelle refers to as "the ACORN racket's law-undermining, truth-sabotaging counseling sessions." They also did a sting at one of ACORN's New York offices in August (are there still more to be revealed?), where they picked up handy tips on how to lie on housing forms to cover up a prostitution business and were told by ACORN officials that "Honesty is not going to get you the house" and were given advice on how to hide cash ...

Meredith Jessup: ACORN Crackdown Continues: Undercover in New York, NY
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — BigGovernment.com today presents the third undercover investigation of another corrupt ACORN office--this time in New York, NY. (See Baltimore, Washington, DC) Listed on the site is liberal activist Saul Alinsky's own rule #10: “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.” Undoubtedly these workers will just be fired like the others, but something tells me this investigation is far from over: Part I Part II

Are two twenty-somethings going to bring down ACORN almost all by themselves
doubleplusundead — Are two twenty-somethings going to bring down ACORN almost all by themselves It's beginning to look that way as the fall descends into a series of ACORN denials followed by yet another James O'Keefe / Hannah Giles video. The latest: This recent scam, which was attempted in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York , Philadelphia to name a few places, had failed for months before the results we’ve all recently seen. -Bertha Lewis, Chief Organizer, ACORN followed by: Part II is at BigGovernment.com ...

*Third* time on the ACORN Hooker Advisory Train.
RedState: Conservative News and Community — (Via @JTlol)This time, it’s Brooklyn.  Which, as Big Government gleefully points out, is part of New York, which is one of the places that ACORN claims that the producers tried this sting and failed. Second video at the site: your call if they did. A couple of more things: This isn’t the last one, either.  Context clues indicate at least one more. Three is enough to note a trend. This point from Big Hollywood (via Ed Driscoll and Instapundit) is pretty important: The Dinosaur Media is ...

ACORN: Big Apple, Big Pimping
Hot Air » Top Picks — ACORN: Big Apple, Big Pimping posted at 8:48 am on September 14, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Share on Facebook | printer-friendly It was just a fluke , ACORN insisted the first time that James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles published their undercover video showing their office in Baltimore helping a pimp evade taxes and get a mortgage by deceit for a brothel.  They fired a couple of “bad apples” in that office, and a couple of more bad apples in Washington DC when that office got caught on hidden camera doing the same thing.  In fact. ACORN went so far as to brag that the pair had tried the same thing and failed in “San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia to name a ...

ACORN's Rule of Holes - Keep Digging
A Blog For All — The rank criminality of ACORN continues to get little play in the New York Times and other national media outlets despite the fact (or perhaps the reason for the inattention) that the organization has close ties to the Obama Administration. ACORN has repeatedly stated that criminality of a few of its offices do not represent the national organization and are a few bad apples. Their representatives even went so far as to say that James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles were unable to gain video showing ACORN workers providing advice to the duo on how to evade the law in places like New York City ...

Your ACORN Daily Child Prostitution Bust: New York City
Right Soup — After ACORN was caught red-handed in Baltimore and Washington DC, advising budding undercover journalists on how to run a child prostitution business, they released a statement stating that the two young nut-busters had “unsuccessfully attempted” other stings in other cities. Nice attempt at spin. I knew then that more tapes were to come. Just released: ACORN does it again, this time in New York city. Remember how Barack Obama trained these guys in the Saul Alinsky way? Wonder what else he taught them?! Drip, drip, drip. ...

ACORN couldn't look worse right now if Kanye West was wearing one of their t-shirts
Jim Treacher's Blog That Is on the Internet — ACORN couldn't look worse right now if Kanye West was wearing one of their t-shirts ACORN: Another Corrupt Office Revealed Now. Fake-ho-gate spreads to the New York office: Via BigGovernment.com . I don't want to say Andrew Breitbart is a genius, but the last guy with a launch this successful was Neil Armstrong. (I was going to say something a bit saucy about Hannah Giles , but she's a black belt and her dad is a big-game hunter. So I'll just say that fearless investigative journalism has never looked this good.) In other news: President Obama, eager to heal the racial divide in America, has invited Kanye West and Taylor Swift to what the ...

Chinese Water Torture via Alinsky Rules applied to ACORN
Flopping Aces — Alinsky Rule #10, “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.” This Alinsky rule is much like Chinese water torture. Drip. Drip. Drip. Steady. Unrelenting. Drip. Drip. Drip. The festering sore first came to light in Baltimore. Those tapes were released on Thursday September 10th. Then, on Friday, it broke out in Washington, DC. Now, the pus filled, red, oozy spot has ...

Another Day, Another ACORN Office Caught Trying To Help Out With Child Prostitution
Say Anything — Unbelievable.   Per the American Spectator, this new video “shows ACORN employees at ACORN chief organizer and CEO Bertha Lewis’s home office in Brooklyn, New York, trying to help the pair set up a prostitute business.” What shocks me, and maybe it shouldn’t given ACORN’s propensity toward crime, is how willing these ACORN employees seem to be to aid and abet child prostitution.  Setting aside politics for a moment, isn’t that something we’re pretty much ...

ACORN Prostitution/Tax Fraud Scandal Spreads to New York City

Best Little Whorehouse in Brooklyn, ACORN edition
Fausta's Blog — Well, there was one on Broadway, so why not Brooklyn? Turning the country into a whorehouse, one city at a time, the folks at the Brooklyn Acorn branch have the advice for an enterprising pimp/businessman/prospective Congressional candidate who would be importing under-age Salvadorian girls: A Blog For All One time is a fluke, twice is a coincidence. Three times? That’s a pattern and bodes poorly for ACORN. This is a group with significant power within the Democratic party and forms a ...

Pat Dollard | Young Americans — New York Post: 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.

My Heroes
Power Line — We are witnessing a resurgence in grass-roots conservatism. To go with it, we could use more guerrilla conservatism. At the moment, the most effective such effort is coming from James O'Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, who, as everyone knows, are releasing a series of videos in which they go to various ACORN offices looking for help in securing a mortgage. Not just any mortgage, of course, a fraudulent one, to help O'Keefe and Giles, ostensibly a pimp and prostitute, set up a house of prostitution that will employ illegal 13, 14 and 15 year old girls from El Salvador, while avoiding taxes and committing various other crimes. ...

Senate Votes to Keep Housing Funds from ACORN
Political Punch — Previous | Main Senate Votes to Keep Housing Funds from ACORN September 15, 2009 11:17 AM Coming off the news we covered last Friday that the Census Bureau was severing ties with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for the 2010 census, the Senate yesterday voted overwhelmingly to prohibit Housing and Urban Development grants from going to the group, which bills itself as “the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families."Eighty-three senators voted for an amendment from Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., to ban the funds, with seven senators voting against the amendment and nine not voting. Johanns ...

YouTube, the Right-o-Sphere, and the Anatomy of an ACORN Take Down
techPresident — Armed with just a cheap fedora, an absurd fur cape, and a palm-sized digital video camera, a 20 year-old and 25 year-old pair of activists have managed to bring to a boil concern over ACORN . Some conservatives have held a long-simmering simmering resentment over what it sees as the corrupting influence of the group on American life, and the conservative wing of the new media ecosystem lays at the heart of this week's sudden national focus on ACORN. James O Keefe -- who dressed as a pimp to ask ACORN for help setting up a what amounts to a brothel -- says he first became interested in going after the organization after he saw a YouTube video of ACORN workers breaking into ...

Defunding ACORN is Constitutional
RedState — The defenders of Association of Community Organizations (ACORN) are desperate and they have called upon their friends in Congress to deploy a last ditch effort to preserve the millions of your tax dollars given to ACORN every year.  Big Government web site broke the ACORN scandal showing video of two journalists posing as a prostitute and pimp requesting help to hide assets from the IRS in Baltimore, New York City and Washington, DC.  The Congress responded by passing legislation to stop federal monies from going to ACORN and, in response, liberal Members of Congress have called upon the research arm of Congress to declare that this attempt to defund ACORN as ...
