Second Video Shows ACORN Officials Helping 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' in Washington Office
FOX News ^ | 09/11/09

Posted on 09/11/2009 7:49:09 AM PDT by freespirited

One day after two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired for offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes, another secretly shot videotape has surfaced that shows the same couple getting similar advice from ACORN officers in Washington.

The newly released videotape, shot on July 25, shows ACORN staffers explaining to the pair how they can hide the woman's professed work — prostitution — and get a loan that will help them establish a brothel.

James O'Keefe, a 25-year-old independent filmmaker, posed as the pimp while visiting the ACORN office, accompanied by 20-year-old Hannah Giles, who posed as the prostitute. On a videotape provided to FOXNews.com, they are seen receiving guidance to establish the woman as the sole proprietor of a bogus company to mask the nature of her business.

"She's not going to put on (the loan application) that she's doing prostitution ... she doesn't have to," the ACORN staffer says. "You don't have to sit back and tell people what you do."

The ACORN staffer is heard suggesting that O'Keefe can purchase a house, and as the landlord, if he is ever questioned by authorities, he can say he was unaware of the illegal business going on inside.

"[W]hen the police ask you, (tell them) you don't know where (the money is) coming from," the staffer said. "We are looking out for you."

"From a 2nd videotape, it is safe to assume this is SOP for Acorn offices."

I hope they have many more tapes of ACORN being exposed.

ALL FEDERAL FUNDING NEEDS TO BE CUT IMMEDIATELY. They actively encourage tax evasion, setting up brothels, and sex trafficking of underage girls.

If you or I did this, we would be in prison. NOW.

ANYTHING SHORT OF THIS IS INTOLERABLE.

I can’t wait to see how the liberals treat Hannah on this... it’ll make Sarah Palin’s travails seem like nothing.

This is priceless. Beck asked the girl how much she was being paid to do this and she said she drained her savings.

What a wonderful patriot!

” Hannah Giles is a part of the Young America’s Foundation and a journalism major. She is the oldest daughter of Townhall.com columnist Doug Giles.”

Just sent her an email to thank her/her partner in this expose for their true Patriotism.....

You can do that through Townhall.com

” “From a 2nd videotape, it is safe to assume this is SOP for Acorn offices.” “

Watching that second video, it certainly appears that they (Acorn) have a standard operating procedure they follow.

The second group didn’t have to check any codes etc....

Does anyone know if this qualifies ACORN to be prosecuted under the RICO statue?

I don’t have time to read the entire thread right now, but the following reminded me instantly of Barnet Franks plea when his sex degenerate partner was indictedd for running a ‘homo brothel’ in Barney’s basement: “The ACORN staffer is heard suggesting that O’Keefe can purchase a house, and as the landlord, if he is ever questioned by authorities, he can say he was unaware of the illegal business going on inside.” Since Barney has homo pals ensconced at Fannie and Freddie, do ya suppose this is standard operating training for Fannie and Freddie lenders, too? ... Yeah, I know, Fannie and Freddie only buy the bundled loans amde by orgs such as ACORN Housing.

ACORN will also be collecting OUR data for the Census. Is it against the law to refuse?

Someone should have given them a warning before they released their false statement...

The only question that remains is, how many other offices did this acorn thug lie about? Time will tell.

I wonder if they are going to be releasing these things on a daily basis. When the girl said she drained her savings I thought how can doing something like this be that expensive. Maybe they travelled all over the place putting these together. One can only hope.

The fact that other offices didn’t fall for it could be a factor of the outlandish way they were dressed and the outlandish story.

I bet they do plenty of fraudulent things in those offices that didn’t take the bait.

Will Obama come out during his speech Monday and say “they acted stupidly”?

Quick note to Religion Moderator, you can "lock" threads, preventing further replies, but keeping the comments that have already been posted. Pulling the thread removes everyone’s comments. Locking it just prevents further comments. If there are only 2 or 3 comments, it doesn't matter as much. But when there are a dozen or more, deleting the comments seems to be excessive.
Posting a reply here because the other thread got pulled.

Can you imagine these ACORN women when they found out yesterday about the other video in Baltimore?

U think there are others?
I'm not sure if these two would have seen it coming. You assume they found out about the Baltimore story. It’s pretty unlikely that ACORN workers watch Fox News or listen to talk radio, so it’s also unlikely that they new about the Baltimore incident.

And yes, I would bet there are several more. And I’m guessing a bunch of ACORN employees will remember this couple, and will mysteriously not show up for work Monday.

from a CNN Story about this:
Scott Levenson, a spokesman at ACORN's national offices said, "The portrayal is false and defamatory and an attempt at 'gotcha journalism.'

"This film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed. ACORN wants to see the full video before commenting further," Levenson said.

The conservative filmmakers unsuccessfully attempted similar ruses at the group's offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Los Angeles, California, and New York, Levenson said.

Also, Hannah Giles said on Beck’s program yesterday that she spent her life savings making these videos. I would bet they spent 4 to 6 weeks travelling, and they have several more offices that were helpful.

If Levenson is telling the truth about the offices where they attempted this but it didn't work, they did some travelling. We'll see how many other locations they found, that Levenson didn't mention, where they actually got “helpful” ACORN responses.

Maybe we should start a pool about which office will be in the next video.

Y’all check this out. This is a ‘Muckety’ I did on the law firm that O & MO used to work for. Very interesting who they represent, no? GM, J&J, on and on and on.
