More ACORNies Fired In Prostitution/Tax Fraud Sting

Wonder how Obama feels about this happening to his buddies, the people who helped him get elected?

Story here.

Two more ACORN officials were fired Friday after a second video surfaced showing staffers in the community organizers' Washington office offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel.

The firings came less than 24 hours after another pair of ACORN officials from the group's Baltimore office were canned for instructing the "pimp" and "prostitute" how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador that pair said they wanted to import to work as child prostitutes.

The organization has been accused by conservatives and Republicans of committing fraud in voter registration drives around the country, and reaction to the videotape came swiftly after its release on Thursday.

"Taxpayers should be outraged that their money has gone to an organization that, in addition to facing charges of voter fraud and tax violations, is willing to facilitate prostitution," said Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

The behavior of a number of employees may well indicate an overall culture of corruption, criminality, immorality, unethicality... in the organization. If it's the way things are in the organization, and employees are discovered by outsiders to be engaging in inappropriate activities, particularly more than one of them, and on multiple discrete occasions... well, what does this tell us?

We already know that ACORN is a very suspect organization, a very suspect hard-left organization. They're known for intimidation tactics of all sorts, for questionable voter-registration activities, etc.

And Obama's tied to them.
