ACORN Scandals Grow & Grow Malcolm A. Kline, October 23, 2009 When two college students pretending to be a prostitute and her pimp sought help from ACORN employees, staffers couldn’t do enough for them as the two claimed to be importing underage girls to work as ladies of the evening. The Association for Community Organizers for Reform Now responded with a lawsuit. Documentarian Andrew Breitbart, who helped distribute the videos, disputes the claims made by ACORN. “ACORN claims this is a $100 million Fox News investigation,” Breitbart said at a press conference at the National Press Club here in Washington,...

It recently came to light that individuals employed by ACORN have been apparent accomplices with regard to the conduct of alleged criminal activities. Surprisingly, it was the investigative ingenuity of ordinary citizens who brought this information to the attention of the public. As a Member of Congress, these relevations are of interest to me in that ACORN is the beneficiary of substantial federal funding.

Ironically, it is those who revealed the alleged illegal acts, rather than the...

In one such investigation, O'Keefe caught a Planned Parenthood employee accepting a donation earmarked for the abortion of a black child. Earlier this month the...

ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- is stinking up Washington. And this is far more significant than if a suspiciously large number of operatives for a purely "private" outfit had been found systematically bending and breaking the law, because ACORN receives and spends taxpayer money -- lots of it -- and had carried the imprimatur of official partnerships with the IRS, the Census Bureau ... the kind of "cred" that in the political world comes only from "who you know."

n describing how she spent her summer, Florida International University journalism student Hannah Giles wrote that her cross-country adventure "started off as a silly idea, both absurd and incredible." Dressed in a skimpy skirt and high heels, the 20-year-old went "undercover" as a prostitute to record a hidden-camera video that has embarrassed the left-leaning advocacy group ACORN and made the fundamentalist preacher's daughter a heroine to the conservative movement. "I think you're a very courageous person," right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck told her. Since giving interviews to Fox News last week, Giles has not appeared in public. She is...
