ACORN and Prostitution

[New Mitanni]

ACORN workers in Baltimore have been captured on video assisting an undercover investigator posing as a man trying to set up a child-prostitution operation using under-age Salvadoran illegal aliens:

Your eyes are not deceiving you: ACORN workers encouraged disguising the child prostitutes as “exchange students.” This, following numerous criminal cases pending against the group for voter fraud and other offenses. For example: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09 ... d-charges/

ACORN has received millions in federal tax dollars to fund its activities, and is in line to receive millions more.

What should be done about ACORN?

Edit: corrected the link. Should work now. Also added a voter-fraud case link.

Let's see them squirrel themselves out of that one.

Assisting an undercover investigator? Those fuckers. Those fucking fuckers.

Motherfuckers... why they're helping to entrap people!

To paraphrase Inigo Montoya, I do not think this means what Mitanni thinks it means. *nod*

I'm sure they'll have some detailed explanation for why what they did is oak-kay. I'd be disappointed if they tried to bury the facts.

[Iron Chariots]

You know, at first I thought I had to be reading the post wrong, because it seemed that New Mitanni was angry that they were trying to assist an investigative reporter in catching child predators.

Then I realized that I was not misreading at all. NM is actually against catching child predators.

You're not keen on catching child predators?

so according to fox, this is allegedly an independent filmmaker setting up a sting against acorn, which makes more sense for the right-wing crazies. nm just can't express ideas well. but i'd like to know the whole context and how many people they had to talk to before finding some that worked for this.

Don't flame my thread.

Watch the video, read the transcript, and stick to the facts, not your obsession with hating Fox.

The Biggovernment link's still broken.

Sorry, I must have misread your post. "Right-wing crazies" isn't something I usually see in a positive setting.

Ohhhhh.....

Yeah, I guess not.

Just out of curiosity, why 'break' this story on a blog? That's going to make the credibility questionable. I know I'm questioning it.

the fact that right-wingers are fucking lunatics doesn't mean that they actually favor child prostitution. at least not most of the time.

you see, you wrote something sort of ambiguous in the first post; that acorn had been caught "assisting undercover investigators". which sounds a hell of a lot like they knew they were not who they said they were. hence the bulk of posts in the thread.

of course, knowing the wingers, it wouldn't surprise me if they did fake the whole thing.

[Soratsin]

I'll believe this when I see it reported by someone other than a blogger and fox news.

I wood tend to think that it's a good idea. It's worth noting that I didn't actually click the link, though; so I apologize if I was barking up the wrong tree.

[Hydesland]

the fact that right-wingers are fucking lunatics

Careful FS, a general statement like this is probably against the rules, also it's probably a little American centric, as a right winger means different things depending on where you are and who you talk with (from religious fundamentalists to purely an economic thing).

This. In light of what you were actually trying to say, I apologize and retract my comment.

Now just because such a potentially huge story was broken first by a blog, Fox News only references that blog as a source and they have a reputation for not thoroughly fact checking stories that fall into certain -shall we say- niches, is no reason to....

....what was I talking about?

Bloggers have been performing "citizen journalism" in light of the failure by our corporate media, and some of them have been doing an excellent job of it. Just because it's been scooped by a blogger doesn't invalidate the information, but it does beg for independent verification. If all the news sites are simply basing their news off one source (like Drudge) then I think we can safely dismiss it as partisan bullshit.
