ACORN and Prostitution

[Lunatic Goofballs]

That isn't news, that's commentary.

I also see no independent sourcing in that commentary.

ACORN "could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states."

Even if Bachmann wasn't universally regarded as batshit insane, the very site you are citing claims she is lying.
As shown by this fancy graphic right at the top of the story on the page you obviously didn't even go to!

You'd think that after the first three or four times this has happened to him he would have realized that some of us actually go to his links.

He must assume no one else does because he doesn't.
I'm not even going to claim he doesn't read his sources. That would be an insult to people who actually visit their source page but don't read a word. It is impossible to miss a graphic at the top of the page saying "FALSE!" on a "truthometer"

What should be done about ACORN?

The exact same thing that should be done to all Republicans for the criminal conduct of a handful. Just to be consistent of course.

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.

Because an act by a few members of a vast nationwide organization not related to said organization's activities justifies condemning the entire organization.

At least the Acorn workers in question understood trying to avoid paying taxes as much as possible.

The two wanna-be pimpettes have just been canned:

I'll give the Devil his due on this one.

But when you're done slapping yourself, you might want to wake up and smell the voter fraud. ACORN's problems go way beyond a few members, they go straight to the heart of an essentially corrupt and thuggish organization.

BTW: all the loudmouthed anti-Fox bigots can now apologize, since Fox clearly got the story right and reported the facts as they exist.

I see that you've decided to try to sidestep the ABC News article about ACORN dealing with Mickey Mouse registrations and voter registration laws in states requiring all entries be submitted even if they're clearly bogus. I shall therefore assume you're not planning on addressing it since you have nothing to refute it beyond canned partisan rhetoric.

did someone say they doubted that something had happened? there is video after all.

but, as your article says, no tax forms were filled out and no actual help was given. *shrug* i would still like to hear from the workers themselves to see what they have to say about it.

He does apply the exact same principle to Muslims, so it's not really a surprise from MItty.

A vast nationwide organization that has people like that working for them probably needs some serious housecleaning to make sure no other corruption is lurking in other areas.

ACORN .... though they are a big organization, the people that were implicated were their employees.

[Non Aligned States]

ACORN .... though they are a big organization, the people that were implicated were their employees.

Then the answer to that is, there's nothing to excuse. The organization management didn't direct the employees to act as they did, unless you have some secret evidence to the contrary. ACORN is no more culpable for their actions as individuals than a Post Office is if one of its employees goes nuts and starts stabbing people, or a school is if a teacher gets drunk off hours.

The employees implicated, of course, cannot be excused.

Ah I see, does this imply that this huge organization does not have oversight on the activities of their employees. Where is the sense of accountability when an organization funded by federal money has one of their employees caught condoning and abetting the breaking of laws. Should they at least take steps to do an in-house investigation?

The organizations oversight and responsibility over their employees extends only insofar as to their employees actions as employees of ACORN. It's the same with any organization anywhere.

Where is the sense of accountability when an organization funded by federal money

ACORN receives no federal funding.

has one of their employees caught condoning and abetting the breaking of laws.

Unless ACORN management directed the employees to break the laws, or said employees were acting as representatives of ACORN in breaking the law, ACORN is not culpable for their actions.

Should you be held culpable if your co-worker decides to rob a bank on his own? Or perhaps if a soldier from the federal army commits a crime, would you hold the entire military culpable since that one does take federal money?

Should they at least take steps to do an in-house investigation?

Unless there is valid reason to believe that these employees were working in conjunction with other ACORN employees towards law breaking or conspiracy thereof, what other reasoning can you offer to conduct said investigation? And if you have a valid reason of the first, do provide one.

I wonder if Walmarts in California distribute medical marijuana.

Pfft, Wal Mart doesn't deal with sissy soft drugs. Marijuana just puts you on a trip. They deal in hard stuff. Their top seller is consumerism. More addictive than crack cocaine. Once you get a taste, you're hooked onto it, going into debt just to get that next hit.

what did acorn do that requires action?

2 workers fell for a scam. they were fired.

according to NM's link "Williams said no tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided" so acorn itself did nothing wrong. it didnt go beyond these 2 women. what other action is needed?

What evidence is there that this could have been prevented by ACORN? Because if this came about by some failing on the part of the organisation then there should be an investigation.

2 workers fell for a scam sting. they were fired.

according to NM's link "Williams said no tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided" so acorn itself did nothing wrong. it didnt go beyond these 2 women. what other action is needed?

It is not they fell for a scam it is that they went along with it, aiding and abetting it.

Like I said before those ladies knowledge at evading taxes is good. If I were to start an accounting firm for big business Id hire these ladies. If the charity organization fired you come to big business we will treat you better.
