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."

If they can condone this, and MSM does nothing but attack Glenn Beck rather than report the actual story, Mass Murder of those opposed to them cannot be far off, I’m telling you, Mass Murder of dissidents is not far behind, even Today the pro-lifer was shot and killed, they won’t cover it because they condone it. I have managed not to buy a gun thus far, but this is it. I know now our family needs a gun.

You know, I was wondering why Hannah Giles (the “prostitute”) had to “drain her life savings” to make this thing happen - camcorders, video editing software, and prostitute clothes aren’t *that* expensive - but now I wonder if there was extensive travel and time involved. Just how many places did they go with this?

Horray!!! What city is next on the list? That sound we hear is the scurry of ACORNies calling their field offices to make sure no one brings hidden video cameras into ACORN offices. That would be racist!

Answered part of my own question. From CNN, quoting an ACORN official:

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

I wonder what their success rate was. Does this mean other places like DC (obviously), Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Tampa went for the bait?

The article neglects to mention the billions ACORN is receiving from working Americans who DO pay their taxes.

ACORN is organized crime. Government sanctioned organized crime.

This should light a fire under the Wash Post!

I used lunch at a bar with a Post exec....they didn’t mind getting scooped on a political stories so much, BUT LOCAL STORY would seriously tick them off. The Post feels the ‘own’ District of Columbia!

This isn’t exactly my field, but I wonder why the ACORN workers weren’t more suspicious. The girl makes $8k a month and has a dozen teenage sex slaves subcontracted. They can’t pool their funds and buy a place without a bank’s help? ACORN’s got some naive criminals over there!

Beck said something to the effect of “how high can you count” referring to possibly more tapes than just the two. LOL. Obama is in a flop sweat.

Megyn Kelly appeared on O’Reilly’s show Thursday about this the first tape in Balitmore. She said that they (Don’t know if she meant Fox or this couple) have been working on something for some time and it will be released soon and it will be something stunning.

There is an AP story. It has been picked up by some of the big city newspapers. Of course the Slimes is silent.

You can follow coverage at http://news.google.com . Use search term ACORN prostitute
