If you’ve watched Fox News recently, I’m sure you’ve seen the undercover videos of a woman and a man posing as a prostitute and her procurer (townhall won't let me post the other p-four letter word), respectively. You can see the videos here: http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/14/acorn-video-prostitution-scandal-in-new-york-ny/
When I first saw the video, there was one theme of the videos that absolutely dumbfounded me. It’s the fact that the ACORN employee doesn’t bat an eye as she calmly tells them how to get a loan for their brothel, and how to set up their business, which will include prostitutes under the age of 16 who will be illegally brought into the country.
That tells me something which should be blatantly obvious to anyone. It tells me that this isn’t the first time ACORN, and probably this employee specifically, has done something like this. If not for a brothel specifically, then they’ve given advice for some other illegal enterprise, and have done so often enough that it’s a matter of routine. Everyone should stop and think about this. I can imagine myself being an accountant for H & R Block, or any other accountant. If I had two people come into my office asking for advise on setting up a brothel for tax purposes, the first thing I’d assume is that I was on Candid Camera, and I was being recorded somewhere. Either that, or that the whole thing was some sort of fraternity prank, and probably being recorded. No matter what, there’s no way an ethical corporation will give legitimate advice on a subject like that.
What’s even more upsetting is that an obviously corrupt organization receives tax-payer money. To their credit, as reported on the site biggovernment.com, the Senate voted 83-7 to de-fund ACORN. You can see the full story here: http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/14/breaking-senate-votes-to-defund-acorn/
I don’t know what’s more outrageous, ACORN’s obvious corruption, or the fact that 7 Senators voted against de-funding them after this story came to light. What are they thinking?
