It only came to light today. Give it time.

I think the FBI needs to put both in a witness protection program while they're still warm.

[sissyjane]

Well I guess they will have to go set up their own businesses as performance artists...

Let me get this straight, they promoted prostitution, telling them NOT to pay taxes (Don’t File Then) and had no issue with children being SOLD into a sex ring for a profit, and all they get is FIRED..are you kidding me. Unbelievable, fired, you get fired for many reasons, but for doing something like THIS you are SUPPOSED to go to JAIL!

So which is it??????

Maryland ACORN board member Margaret Williams says in a statement the employees “did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.”

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

I think the FBI sees a helluvan opportunity to start RICO stings all across the country with this.

[Brilliant]

Guess they got the word from the White House.

[sissyjane]

I just read that! Rat bas**rds....

[Red in Blue PA]

That is not illegal.

[mware]

Way to go Beck. Another under your belt.

They have the audacity to have a “Donate to ACORN” on their page:

Until you remember to whom the Director of the FBI reports. Hint: The Attorney General.

Well yes and no ... this was in Maryland, right? Seems there’s a law there that you can’t do it ....

[Red in Blue PA]

Let em try to bring charges and see what happens.

Which is more important? Stopping undercover filming or stopping sex slavery?

The choice SHOULD be obvious.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hang on there, SB. The bosses of those two people are bosses, not prosecutors. And I think we should all be grateful for that.

[charmedone]

{They didn’t meet their standards....}

Fer sure. They got caught!

[ResistorSister]

I believe the young woman who posed as the prostitute did something right by exposing the type of people working for ACORN. But did anyone else cringe when she started speaking? I couldn't really read exactly what it was, but something about her sensibility seemed skewed.

I don't have a good feeling about the whole story.

[SkyDancer]

Just saying what I heard on either Hannity or Rush .... I guess to them (ACORN, state law) it’s not what ACORN did but how it was exposed ...if it’s true that it’s against the law then any court action would be thrown out because of how the evidence was obtained ... sad but true ...

[Red in Blue PA]

Huh?

I thought the two did an excellent undercover job.....especially considering the pressure they were under.
