A skinny white prostitute and her pimp turn up at the office of Barack Obama’s favourite US “poverty action” charity ACORN (Association of Community Organisations for Reform Now). They want advice on a few problems, like how best to bring over a “couple” of - well, 13, actually - underage girls from El Salvador to work in this brothel they’ve got planned, without attracting too much heat from the authorities. How can they get a mortgage, how should they deal with their tax affairs, how do they legitimize their immoral earnings and so on?
ACORN’s expert advisers are more than happy to oblige, as this hilarious video - first posted at the BigGovernment site - reveals.
Hilarious because, of course, the footage is a stitch-up. It was filmed with a hidden camera and acted out by two very brave young US investigative journalists - Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, keen to expose the dubious moral standards of the radical left organisation. (Using methods not unakin to those advocated by Obama’s preferred leftist agitator Saul Alinsky)
Since then they have struck twice more. First at one of ACORN’s Washington DC offices. Most recently in New York - where, among the advice they were given was to hide their illicit gains in a tin and bury it in their back yard.
A neat little scoop which has already caused several heads to roll at ACORN, and, as Toby Harnden reports today has led the US Census Office to break its controversial links (for chapter and verse see Stephanie Guttman’s blog on this) with the notorious organisation. But is it really any more significant than that?
Well, of course, those on the liberal-left would have you believe not.(continued)

I think you may be on to something.
I’m glad ACORN is being punked in public, but my question is: Are the people that work at ACORN total idiots???? Does that girl pretending to be a prostitute look anything like a prostitute? You can’t just put short shorts on a girl and expect her to look the part. There was no wired out look to her eyes, her hair was healthy looking, her skin wasn’t oniony-looking and sickly, she didn’t hardly use any swear words at all. Last, but not least, her eyes didn’t have that hardened soulless look that prostitutes gain after a very short time working the business.
I would have spotted her the minute she walked in my office. I would have said, “Kids, this isn’t trick or treat. And little lady, you can’t fool me.”
Still, I hope ACORN is shut down for this and the SIEU also. Trade unions should probably be disbanded, by law.
Pranksters? It would be more accurate to describe them as the last two serious investigative journalists we have left in this country.
“Charity”? ACORN is a giant, federally-funded grifter.
That may have been what has hapened in the past but "the giant is awake now" and we aren't dependent on the Brown Shirt Media. The fight is just beginning.
Just what I was going to say..they aren’t pranksters, they are real journalists. Much better journalists than our elite media heads that spend there time at Marxist Vineyard, DC,NY and LA cocktail parties.
Acorn, LaRaza and SEIU are all criminal enterprises that should have been outed long ago by our press for illegal acts, but are ignored and praised because of race issues.
There is a double standard.
Right, and to call them idiots is a compliment. They’re disgusting creatures.
It is not hard to make idiots look like idiots.
Yeah, I know. I can’t figure it out, either.
;^)
Ya think?
But I thought ObamACORN was going to restore U.S. dignity in the world?
Yes, they are idiots.
Yes, they are so used to be fully immersed in a criminal and immoral cesspool that it never occurs to them not to start spilling immediately to any “joker” who walks in off the street.
So today ACORN is busy “suspending operations,” which is code for destroying evidence, moving assets, hiding people and generally preparing to play the world’s most intricate shell game as heat comes down.
This is a CRIME SCENE - where is the FBI? Why is this being left to “internal investigation”?
Oh, wait. Holder’s so busy dismantling the CIA, he can’t be bothered with ACORN.
And P.S. - I think the author was using the term “pranksters” tongue-in-cheek. He knows very well this is true investigative journalism.
The reasons I’m a conservative are a) because I do care actually and b) because I’ve seen the alternative and it sucks.
For a shining example of b) look no further than these ACORN video exposes, which show exactly what’s wrong with practical socialism. 1. Big government takes your hard-earned money. 2. It spends on it an organisations like ACORN so rotten to the core and with values so inimical to your own, that frankly it would easier if you’d taken 40 per cent of your income in a big suitcase down to the nearest housing project, allowed yourself to be mugged - and cut out the middle man.
What do you think the reaction would have been in an ACORN office if they had discovered the hidden camera? These are thugs they were investigating.
Two young people were willing to put their safety on the line in order to expose the truth. They pulled it off with flair and panache. Compared to them, the regular network reporters are nothing.
I haven’t read The Mayflower Madam yet - I may. But in the video tape the girl is saying she’s been “hooking” for eight years (from 12-20) - that’s usually long enough to get that hardened look right? ACORN is wholly contemptible and should be disbanded. The leaders of ACORN should be jailed. If we just insist on firing the “careless” workers, then ACORN will just change its name and our precious MSM will treat the new name as if it were a spring lamb.
