This is all so...so...."distracting".

ok, this may be a small thing but I have a question. All these ACORN people keep telling these people about how to cheat at their taxes with this prostitution scheme. ACORN got Federal money no? If people cheat on their taxes aren't they cutting off their own noses to spite their face? And if paying taxes is patriotic, if they teach all their clients to cheat on their taxes aren't they also ensuring President Obama's plans fail? I thought they wanted him to succeed? I just find that part of it funny, and I don't mean ha ha funny.

They're the 'ittle people', Chip - they don't PAY taxes. It's only the 'rich' who pay taxes - and that's anyone who ain't the 'little people' who need ACORN's help.
You know, I'm seeing a real trend here. 4 ACORN offices, 4 sets of people who have no problems with putting children to work in a brothel. As they say in IT - this isn't a bug, it's a feature.
And Obama loves 'em.
The folks doing this were suggesting girls as young as 13 years old... could Obama look at his 11 year old daughter, and then go "I've got no problems with ACORN"? I guess it's all okay if it's a Guatamalan girl? Does 2 years make that much of a difference?
This is a group that's deeply invested in Obama - and Obama is deeply invested in them. A symbiotic relationship, as it were.
What do you think the chances are that Obama can throw ACORN under the bus?
What do you think the chances are that ACORN will go quietly under the bus?
At the rate the Obama administration, they're going to make the Warren G. Harding administration look positively saintly.

ACORN and Obama are joined at the hip. If ACORN bites the dust, so does Barry. We know ACORN will squeal like a stuck pig, if they are ever brought into court, thus implicating Barry. We could be looking at another impeached Democratic President. This time it might stick.
Now I know, that it will not happen while the Dems control the Congress, because they don't want to show party disloyalty, at a time when they are fighting for their very existence. Then again if things get so outrageous on Barry's and ACORN's part, they just might abandon the sinking ship, like the rats they are, to save their own hides. No wonder they are fighting tooth and nail to keep things under the tarp.

What are the chances of your being called a racist for asking? Probability approaches 1

About the same probability as above.
The reason they will go quietly is that everything will just resume under their new Community Organizations International moniker. I'm sure that's the plan at any rate.

SAN BERNARDINO - The head organizer for California ACORN says a new video that appears to show a staffer at the organization's San Bernardino office is fake journalism.
California ACORN head organizer Amy Schur said the video is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened.
Evidently Ms Schur did not watch the entire broadcast as ANOTHER office (San Diego area) will be on-screen tomorrow night.
Question for Ms Schur: Do ALL of your employees have so much free time that they can 'go along with a gag'? So far your ACORN offices are 4 for 4 in "helping out" this pimp and prostitute. But your California office is somehow "different".
As they say in the south (got to get that RACIST! tag in there) - "That dog won't hunt".

if the nutcase in San Bernadino was the ONLY employee to go along (ok, ACTIVELY assist!) then ACORN just might be able to pull it off.
But as GarandFan says: the two intrepid and VERY brave real journalists are 4 for 4...and tomorrow night 5 for 5.
Let's say for the sake of argument that they thy went to 10 offices altogether, and "only" got this level of cooperation in 5 of them. That would still be FIFTY PERCENT!!
And consider...we know for a FACT that NO ONE in any office EVER called the cops on them!
People walk in and tell you they're going to traffic in little girls as SEX SLAVES...and you don't even notify the cops??

GrandFan - You missed the best part of Schur's spiel. At the bottom of the article she's quoted as saying:
"She (Kaelke) asked if they were joking and asked if they were reporters. They said they weren't reporters and they aren't. This is not legitimate news," Schur said.
Huh? So they asked and they both denied they were reporters or were joking and they said no, they weren't.
Yet this dimbulb allegedly played along for "fun" during a non-joke.
That said, I tend to believe Theresa is a poser who concocted most of what she said to gain some type of street cred to a fellow "prosti.

The Democrats are being tied more and more to out of control spending and corruption. When Republicans take back the house in 2010 they should launch an investigation into ACORN and SEUI and their connections to the politicians who have protected them since the 70's.
