ACORN's Recent History With Prostitution (who'd have thought..)
Campaign Spot @ NRO ^ | 18 September 2009 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 09/19/2009 6:04:34 AM PDT by SE Mom

Perhaps we shouldn't have been completely surprised by the videos we've seen of ACORN workers offering assistance to prostitution rings.

I mean, there was Cincinnati . . .

Shari Bell, 41, of Walnut Hills was arrested Wednesday night by Cincinnati police, reported WCPO, NewsChannel5's Cincinnati sister station.

Bell allegedly approached an undercover officer's car in Evanston and offered him sex for money. Police also said they found a crack pipe in Bell's coat pocket. Bell told police she works for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now at the time of her arrest.

And then there was Cleveland:

An Ohio man who cast an illegal early ballot after being caught registering to vote several times with ACORN is a longtime scammer who was arrested last year — as a woman.

The bizarre tale of Darnell Nash — a k a Serina "Sexy Slay" Gibbs — came to light after Cuyahoga County election officials charged him with voter fraud and this week turned him in to prosecutors.

It turns out that Nash, 24, who has a criminal record as a man, is now a transsexual escort who claims to make $150 an hour turning tricks as the self-proclaimed "Queen of Cleveland Gender Benders."

Maybe this really is just another day at the office for the folks at ACORN . . .

UPDATE: Then there's Milwaukee:

At least seven felons convicted of crimes including cocaine possession and robbery were recruited by a liberal group to register voters in Milwaukee, raising fears they may have committed voter fraud . . . Along with the seven felons, court records show one special registration deputy has a pending felony charge for heroin possession and another is facing a misdemeanor prostitution charge. A third was convicted of misdemeanor prostitution.

ANOTHER UPDATE: And I guess we shouldn't be stunned by the nonchalant reaction to underage prostitution, considering the history of New Mexico branch:

The head of a community reform organization faces sentencing after pleading no contest to two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor in Torrance County. Ben McGartland of Albuquerque, head of the New Mexico chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, was charged in July in state District Court in Estancia with 10 counts, including second-degree criminal sexual penetration of a minor, three counts of criminal sexual contact, attempt to commit a felony, kidnapping, concealing identity, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

This is why I think the 'Rats in Congress cut off the funds and Barry will sign the bill.

The funds can always be restored lated after the heat dies down.

But they have to avoid investigation.

And call it a hunch, but I have a suspicion that ACORN money is going to organizations and people committing far worse crimes than voter fraud and prostitution.

Note to anyone with any integrity at the DOJ: Your country needs you. Don't let us down.

Interestingly, and probably not coincidental and worthy of more consideration, the incidence of government workers who have been reprimanded or dismissed for child pornography on government computers has increased exponentially in recent years. I don’t have numbers, just anecdotal evidence by people who deal with this issue. They say that dealing with pedophiles was rare twenty years ago, now it is common...very common.

“....I have a suspicion that ACORN money is going to organizations and people committing far worse crimes than voter fraud and prostitution.”

Agree. ACORN’s record of criminal activity is more than coincidence. More like by design.

ACORN needs to be RICO’d! BUT Eric Holder will never do ANYTHING AGAINST ACORN, since ACORN got OBAMA elected!

Old-fashioned protection racket.

Terrorists and their enablers have always used whatever means to get money.

Almost certainly find they’re into drugs too. It’s just that kind of organization.

Most likely in other cities, the police look the other way when Acorn is involved in unsavory behavior. Too much hassle.

The ACORN story shows what the power of true investigative journalism can do to a national organization that is morally bankrupt, politically corrupt and the biggest bunch of crooks since the Enron scandal.

Odd with thousands of MSM journalists that NOT ONE OF THEM could find an ACORN office. Rumor is they were all out searching for a Republican jaywalking...

PS - Your United Way donations support ACORN.

I’m sure Barry is unaware of the checkered history of ACORN,
Wright, Ayers and all of his appointees to important government positions. Is it possible that Barry can be so unaware or is it more likely that he knows more than we do about these people? When you go on a trip you make sure you have the right baggage and he has the right baggage, I just
wonder where the trip is taking us. Beware the beguiling smile, the right answers, the charisma, the entourage.

"Is this systemic? (rhetorical questions)"

Of course it is. Look at the quality of people they hire from the sting videos -- former hookers, scumbags, Africans, Jamaicans, drug addicts. Basically, people who couldn't get work otherwise get jobs with ACORN. If ACORN wasn't around they would have to clean themselves up, act American, abide by the law, and join normal America. But, clearly, they can remain their scumbag selves if they can get a job at ACORN.

Lastly, take a look at ACORN's CEO. Wearing cute African tribal garb. Q.E.D.
