Regardless of the number of different institutions operating under one roof (all sharing the same name ACORN, btw), this whole thing stinks to high heaven. Federal funding has to be cut to this garbage.

Beck is covering this video right now....

[unixfox]

I wouldn’t exactly call it shocking, more like expected.

[humblegunner]

It isn’t that shocking.

Older hoes giving advice to younger hoes.

What did you expect the ACORN hoes to do?

Tell the pimp & ho to go get a real job?

Gee, context to the story...

I find myself wondering in just what context, housing fraud, tax fraud and child prostitution can be encouraged, condoned or ignored.

Nope, can't think of a single one.

It's an interesting bit of information. By operating the same criminal enterprise as a bunch of different entities, they seek to skirt around all sorts of legal issues regarding the types of consultation/advice they are allowed to provide.

They are lawless and taxpayer funded. Viva la Revolution, sponsored by The Man.

Obama IS ACORN.

He worked for them, he trained them, they got the vote out for him, their thugs mugged Hillary and her supporters at the caucuses, he fights for funding of them. ACORN and SEIU are the same group as well. This Deathcare bill will benefit ACORN.

How does this commentary provide “context” for the illegal behaviour of the ACORN people? Context means to shed light on or clarify by looking at the words preceding and following. This bit of writing does NOTHING to provide context

[texaschick]

No one cares how many ACORN agencies there are. It doesn’t matter. These ACORN employees were caught telling people how to break the law. There is no context where this should be accepted.

[jessduntno]

I think I have the right perspective for these criminals right here...

[dead]

I think people are all misreading the intent of this article.

It is NOT a defense of Acorn's actions. It's providing additional evidence of their shady and illegal actions. It's explaining the unethical trickery they use to try to exempt themselves from the rules that all other organizations need to heed.

Beck is saying that the media is ignoring it

Furthermore, ACORN and ACORN Housing have different tax codes. So, sharing funds would violate all sorts of tax codes. So, after they charged for these services, there would be all sorts of violations.

The entire organization is a fraud umbrella for liberal/communist activism monies...culled from your tax dollars.

[detective]

Those ACORN employees have their salaries, their rent and their expenses paid for with taxpayer dollars. This story doesn’t get into the drug dealing and other things the the ACORN people are involved in.

[NavyCanDo]

Just the tip of the Iceberg.

[Venturer]

These crooks are going to be in charge of the census. Think about that.

[tophat9000]

Read the article, the perspective makes it worse for ACORN and puts in context just how duplicitous they are

"Some Context on the Shocking ACORN Video"

I want more context of the woman who played "Kenya" in the videos. She looks smoking. ;)
