The scandal surrounding the left-wing activist organization ACORN has spread to New York, with employees at its Brooklyn office caught on video helping supposed ladies of the night get loans for their dream houses of ill repute.
Rather than reminding the women that prostitution is dangerous and illegal and advising them to change their careers, counselors at the social-services group shockingly offer suggestions on how they can launder their earnings.

Liberals prey on ignorance. The people in this video are prime examples of this. An accountant? For who? A lemonade stand?

From what I read on the subject it was a "gotcha" right wing news crew that went around to a whole bunch of Acorn offices throughout the country to find this one Acorn office filled with a bunch of idiots. I'm not defending Acorn but I don't believe anything I see on state run media anymore.
Both parties are d-bags and most of them are liars and cheats. We need a multi-party system to break up that good ole boy attorneys club. After all, most of them are basically ambitious lawyers that wanted more power and fame.

The scandal surrounding the left-wing activist organization ACORN has spread to New York, with employees at its Brooklyn office caught on video helping supposed ladies of the night get loans for their dream houses of ill repute.
Rather than reminding the women that prostitution is dangerous and illegal and advising them to change their careers, counselors at the social-services group shockingly offer suggestions on how they can launder their earnings.
'UNDERCOVER': James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles show off the not-so-subtle costumes they wore during their ACORN stings.
"Honesty is not going to get you the house," a loan counselor at the offices told two activists posing as a mortgage-seeking pimp and prostitute.
"You can't say what you do for a living."
ACORN workers in two other cities, Baltimore and Washington, DC, had already fallen hooker, line and sinker for the hidden-camera sting operation by two conservative activists.
Four ACORN employees have been fired as a result of the earlier videos, and last Friday the Census Bureau severed its ties with the group, whose members had been hired to do canvassing during the 2010 census.
Mayor Bloomberg spoke out on the controversy today.
"Prostitution is illegal in this state and I don't know why they would -- why an organization like ACORN, who's trying to encourage voter turnout and voter registration, why they're getting involved in any of that stuff," Bloomberg said. "But clearly it's not appropriate and they shouldn't have been doing it. Whether they broke a law or not I don't know. You'll have to talk to the legal (authorities)."
The Brooklyn DA's office announced today it would be investigating the group.
In an unrelated outrage, ACORN was accused of widespread voter fraud during the 2008 presidential election by helping unqualified voters to register.
As in prior videos released by the filmmaking team of James O'Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, employees of the group -- which specializes in housing and voter activism -- were eager to dispense advice on gaming the system and skirting the law.
"You know, what goes on in the house we don't care," one counselor said. "We just help you with the mortgage."
O'Keefe and Giles were garishly dressed as a stereotypical pimp and prostitute. O'Keefe was decked out in excessively snazzy flesh-peddler couture, and Giles, going by the name "Eden," wore almost nothing.
The ACORN workers were not the slightest bit judgmental or put off by the request for help in getting financing for a brothel.
Counselor Volda Albert freely offered financial advice to the young couple, and held back on giving out any life advice.
I can't tell you don't do it, because you won't listen to me," Albert said. For tax and banking purposes, and to establish a legitimate income and credit history, Giles was told she needed to start saying she was a "freelancer."
"Don't say that you're a prostitute thing or whatever," she said.
Albert also suggested that Giles open two accounts at separate banks, depositing no more than $500 each a week to ensure few eyebrows are raised.
'UNDERCOVER': James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles show off the not-so-subtle costumes they wore during their ACORN stings.
As for the rest of the money she earned from turning tricks, Albert told her to hide it away.
"When you buy the house with a back yard. You get a tin . . . and bury it down in there, and you put the money right in, and you put grass over it, and you don't tell a single soul but yourself where it is," she said.
Albert even had advice on protecting O'Keefe from getting tied by authorities to Giles' prostitution.
Her illegally obtained revenue could be given to O'Keefe through an intermediary, and then he could use it for a down payment on the house by applying for a "no doc" loan.
In the earlier videos, counselors offered similar suggestions to a "prostitute," telling her to list her occupation as "performance artist," and even offering advice on how to claim as dependants underage girls recruited for the business.
Milagros Rivera, the Brooklyn office administrator advised Giles, "don't get caught -- it's against the law what you are doing, and there's a chance you'll get caught."
Before bidding them good luck, Albert offered two final suggestions.
"Save for a rainy day," she said. "And live well."
O'Keefe, who majored in philosophy at Rutgers University, said he and Giles funded the project themselves. This kind of undercover, guerrilla tactic is the "future of investigative journalism and political activism," he said.
Inspired by "Rules for Radicals," Saul Alinsky's bible for rabble-rousing, more often associated with the left, O'Keefe said he has been targeting and exposing the "absurdities of the enemy by employing their own rules and language."
"If you can make impossible demands on your enemy, you can destroy them," he said.
So he began using a hidden camera "in a location I'd rather not disclose" and started visiting ACORN offices around the Northeast.
As with a series of videos O'Keefe made in 2008, in which Planned Parenthood employees agreed to earmark his donations for the abortions of African-American babies, he said he expected ACORN would yield maybe "a few gotcha moments."
"But we never imagined they would all comply -- it's just disgusting they didn't just throw us out of the office," he said.
In a statement released Saturday, ACORN said that it could not defend the actions of its employees but that what O'Keefe and Giles did was criminal.
"And, in fact, a crime it was -- our lawyers believe a felony -- and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators," the statement said.
Fox News aired the Baltimore and Washington tapes.
O'Keefe said, "ACORN wants it both ways."
"You can't fire the employees and then say I have defamed them," he said.

Todays liberalism cannot stand the light of day.
This was not always so.
Liberalism used to be a viable political position, no longer I'm afraid.
Todays liberal doesn't resemble anything remotely like past liberalism. Truman would quickly become an Independent today, as would Kennedy.
Obama is the zenith aspiration of that liberalism, and is why he is crashing and burning as the ppl wake up to the shenanigans......
One term.

Here's a question to ponder.....
These "reporters" are just KIDS!!! Just kids!! Novices!!
Which begs the question as the media hyperventilates and denigrates them, where are the professionals in all this? Where are their investigations?
These kids have done what should already be common knowledge if the BIG MEDIA was actually doing it's job, instead of providing flank cover for the democrats..... the media has let the entire country down, before the 08 election ever took place...
Kudos to these kids...... more journalistic integrity than the Big Three.

They put themselves out there to be sure. But I don't think this is a good story. If they were undercover as employees and able to gather good evidence of election tampering (not just mickey mouse on a voter registration) then that would have been good reporting. This is still creating the situation, not reporting on a situation that is happening.

No, they are EXPOSING a situation which should be of great concern to the taxpayers. The story alone was enough to have the Census Bureau boot ACORN to the curb.... a blow for the American ppl for sure given the serious voter fraud violations by ACORN already.
These kids did us all a HUGE favor and deserve our highest praise!!
Again, where are the professionals? Too busy partying at the White House to pull themselves away to do their craft?
I tip my hat to these kids.....

People paying taxes on something that they would not have otherwise done is exactly a huge concern how? I am all for pimps and prosti's paying taxes. And those serious voter fraud violations, were not the case, they did not register those collected names or have them vote did they? This is a witch hunt man, you have to at least see that?
well its a compliment even though I strongly disagree with most of what you say. Gotta respect someones opinion even if you think they are a moonbat.I am glad I am able to bring a little humor into the world. Although I am not sure if that is a compliment or a insult.
But that aside:She is hot!
Does anyone here really care if prostitution is legal or not? I mean shouldn't this be in the same boat as marijuana?
Yes she's hot. No I don't care about prostitution--- but who would ACORN advise on importing teenage prostitutes if it were leagal?

ACORNS agenda is not healthy for America. They need to be stripped of their non tax exemption. Let them make their way in the world like everyone else.

Are you also for the importation and sexual exploitation of child sex slaves?
Hanimmal, why don't you just admit that you are a die hard Liberal Obama supporter and you are willing to defend anything they do no matter how despicable.
This is not an issue where there are two sides that can be argued. What ACORN is doing is indefensible and they need to be dismantled.
As for "creating news" that is a straw man. If the cops send an underage decoy into a liquor store and the clerk sells to them are they "creating" the infraction?
Really, your argument doesn't even approach anything reasonable and you are making yourself look like a closed minded fool.
Which part of contributing to a child prostitution ring are you incapable of comprehending? Try using your brain instead of just trying to back your party regardless of how absurd it is to do so.

Nope.
Yup
Pretty much, although when he does mess up I am very willing to call him out on it (see firing attorney general for not dropping charges on Sacremento mayor.
Nope, just very willing to call bullshit when it is that.
Again I care less about Acorn, and do not care one way or another about them. But the right wings hatred is laughable because they blame anything possible on them. I mean seriously how can you say with any degree of a fact supported claim that they were the ones that were pulling the strings of the banks forcing them to do things like no income verification loans to people making $50k and getting them into $450k homes.
Yup, but they are the police and it is there job to get criminals. The news should be the ones reporting the crimes, not creating the crimes. This is essentially up skirt celebrity pictures.
Nope I disagree with you. I think that you just drank a little too much Republican mixed kool-aid.
The fact that there was no child prostitution ring. They were giving a pimp and ho tax advise. Not figuring out ways for them to bring them in.
Why is it ok for tax attorneys to find every possible loophole for exxon, but not ok for them to try to figure out ways for ho's to pay taxes?
