ACORN in Brooklyn, (James O'Keefe Video)

We have employees at a third ACORN office advising James O'Keefe (the pimp) and Hannah Giles (the prostitute) on setting up their business.

Frequently, after the first and second videos were released, involving offices in
Baltimore and DC, the lib media have noted that staffers at other ACORN offices didn't get caught aiding the individuals supposedly setting up a prostitution operation.

Example, from CNN:

The conservative filmmakers unsuccessfully attempted similar ruses at the group’s offices in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and New York, [Scott Levenson, a spokesman at ACORN’s national offices,] said.

Levenson will need to amend his statement.

An ACORN office in New York has been exposed in an O'Keefe - Giles sting.

I can see some rogue staffers at one ACORN office being dirty and offering advice to the "pimp" and the "prostitute" about their brothel.

But when the same sort of thing happens in three offices, there's a systemic problem.

Of course, the employees on this latest video will probably be fired, ACORN being the upstanding organization that it is.

What a joke!

No tax dollars should be doled out to ACORN. Zero.

Here's the New York video:

ACORN NYC Child Prostitution Investigation Part II



From FOX News:
Days after the release of hidden-camera videos led to the firing of four ACORN workers in Baltimore and Washington who assisted an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp to apply for an illegal housing loan for a brothel, a third video has surfaced showing ACORN workers offering the same kind of assistance at the organization's office in Brooklyn, N.Y.

As in their previous undercover stings, filmmaker James O'Keefe, 25, and partner Hannah Giles, 20, who posed as a prostitute, received advice from ACORN workers on how to launder their earnings and avoid detection from law enforcement officials while running a prostitution business.

"You have to find another name for it," an ACORN employee tells the pair seeking a mortgage in the Brooklyn office. "Honesty is not going to get you the house. You can't say what you do for a living."

In the video posted on BigGovernment.com, which was shot on Aug. 4, O'Keefe tells two ACORN workers that Giles — scantily dressed as a prostitute named "Eden" with partially-exposed undergarments — earns up to $10,000 a month "performing tricks" and tries to obtain housing in the purportedly 18-year-old woman's name.

"This is going to be her business, it's all cash," O'Keefe says. "She's gonna have this business in the house with a bunch of girls coming and doing these things, you know, performing tricks and she's gonna give me the money so I can pay the mortgage. That's how we want to work it potentially. But no one has to know where the money is coming from."

"No," an ACORN employee responds as another shakes her head in approval.

The ACORN employees suggest that the purpose of "Eden's" business remain a secret as they seek to obtain financing.

"You know, what goes on in the house, we don't care," an ACORN worker says on the video. "We just help you with the mortgage."

Later on the video, an ACORN worker tells Giles that she needs to say she is a "freelancer" to establish a legitimate line of credit, and she advises the woman to open multiple bank accounts in which she should deposit no more than $500 a week to avoid raising suspicion.

"Don't say that you're a prostitute thing or whatever," the woman says on the tape, later suggesting that Giles hide her money in a tin buried beneath the home. " … And you don't tell a single soul but yourself where it is."

Another ACORN worker reminds the pair that prostitution is illegal, but stops well short of showing the duo the door.

"Don't get caught," the ACORN staffer says on the tape. "It's against the law what you're doing and there's a chance you'll get caught."

What I love most about these videos is how damning the evidence is and how many outs O'Keefe gave these people. I'm flabbergasted that anyone with a brain would actually believe that this was anything but a ruse. I mean come on did you see that pimp coat? He must've gotten that thing at Halloween Express. Illegal alien prostitutes?! Seriously!?

Thank you ACORN for showing us who you are and thank you Mr. O'keefe for the highly entertaining videos. Please keep them coming.
