More. Yes, there's more.
A worker at a fifth ACORN office, this one in San Diego, offers assistance to a "pimp" and a "prostitute" looking to set up a business.
From FOX News:
On the same day that the anti-poverty group ACORN announced the launch of an "internal review" after four undercover videos exposed its workers offering advice on how to skirt federal laws, a fifth video surfaced that purports to show a worker offering to help bring underage girls into the U.S. for the purposes of prostitution.
The latest video was filmed in San Diego by conservative activist James O'Keefe, 25, and partner Hannah Giles, 20, who posed as a pimp and prostitute as they did in their previous undercover stings.
In the latest video, O'Keefe asked the man if Tijuana is the best place to bring the girls to cross over into the U.S.
The man replied "yes," because he has a lot of contacts there who can assist in bringing them across the border.
In another part of the video, the man asked O'Keefe how much he charges for Giles' services.
"Are you a potential client?" O'Keefe asked.
"No, no. I want to know," the man said. "How...what is it?"
...ACORN announced it is ordering an independent investigation. ACORN will work with its advisory council, which includes prominent supporters of President Obama, such as John Podesta, president of the nonprofit Center for American Progress, and Andrew Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, to name an indepedent auditor and investigator, ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis said in a written statement.
The investigation will examine all the systems and processes called into question by the video, Lewis said.
In addition, ACORN won't accept new admissions into its community service programs, effective immediately, and within the next few days will conduct staff training, she said.
Lewis said the steps were being taken in response to "the indefensible action of a handful of our employees."
Yes, a handful of ACORN employees were caught on tape advising a supposed pimp and prostitute on illegal activities.
However, those "handfuls" constitute more than just a few rogue staffers. I think the coast to coast sample indicates a significant and extremely troubling degree of corruption within the organization.
There have been too many cases of ACORN employees performing their jobs in an indefensible manner.
Why is it that whenever ACORN's employees are caught engaging in illegal behavior it's blamed on the individuals and not the organization?
These videos seal it. Combine them with all the other problems exposed regarding ACORN and voter registration. It's time for the group to be held accountable.
ACORN doesn't deserve to be awarded millions and millions in tax dollars.
No more federal funds.
