Two employees at the Baltimore, Maryland, branch of the liberal community organizing group ACORN were caught on tape allegedly offering advice to a pair posing as a pimp and prostitute on setting up a prostitution ring and evading the IRS.
The video footage -- which has been edited and goes to black in some areas -- was recorded and and posted online Thursday by James O'Keefe, a conservative activist. He was joined on the video by another conservative, Hannah Giles, who posed as the prostitute in the filmmakers' undercover sting.
The video shows the pair approaching two women working at the ACORN Baltimore office and asking them for advice on how to set up a prostitution ring involving more than a dozen underage girls from El Salvador.
One of the ACORN workers suggests that Giles refer to herself as a "performing artist" on tax forms and declare some of the girls as dependents to receive child tax credits.
"Stop saying prostitution," the woman, identified by the filmmaker as an ACORN tax expert, tells Giles. The other woman tells them, "You want to keep them clean ... make sure they go to school."

Nothing to see here folks. Move along
LOL - cnn is hiding the faces of the Acorn workers and says they are ‘alleged’ to do what they are very clearly and definitely doing. That’s like saying Obama allegedly spoke to the congress the other day.
cnn is an alleged news organization.
Allegedly? I heard them. I saw them. Did you hear and see them? What is this allegedly? The video and audio isn't faked as ACORN fired the workers on the video.
Wait for the Spin, it is coming.
Stop paying taxes.
Good thing they fired them instead of just laying them off. It’s close to an admission that they are “guilty”. I was half expecting ACORN to say that they knew this was a sting because ‘it was tried at other ACORN offices without success’ and this was just a revers sting.
Does the Communist News Network needs a whole Committee to write the news? "Allegedly" is hard to spin.
Who wrote this? The three blind mice?
” Who wrote this? The three blind mice? “
“Three Monkeys” is the (unofficial) corporate logo of CNN....
I saw the video this morning. The sight of that female ACORN worker telling the man how to identify his underage sex workers (”Don’t identify them if they’re under age!”) was revolting. She never blinked. What a world— There better be some apprehensions and prosecutions. I hope Democrats are proud to claim their relationship to this group!
Well, at least they identified ACORN as liberal. That must be a first.
CNN “on air personalities” thought the performance artist comments were chuckle worthy. Just saw report on HLN, mark my words, the state run media will know everything about the “conservative young man and woman” who shot this video. The SRM is probably already digging through their garbage.
Yeah, follow her advice, DON’T FILE!!
ROFL! Yeah, hide their faces.....that “tax advisor” sounds like she really knew her stuff/s
EVERYONE NEEDS TO EMAIL/CALL THEIR CONGRESSPOEOPLE ABOUT PULLING FUNDING FOR THIS GROUP!
Not one dollar more!
Love this: ACORN spokesman calls portrayal defamatory, says ruse attempted in other offices
(exactly HOW is it defamtory if EVERYTHING is caught on tape????)
Only because Beck called CNN out on it.
They are probably already working for some other hidden branch of ACORN. It’s too bad they didn’t run the sting at multiple ACORN offices.
