ACORN Cleared by Brooklyn DA in Big "Pimp/Prostitute" Probe

What is even funnier about Acorn is they are the only Govt affilated agency not required to do background checks. I know from speaking with former employees they have key memebers in NY offices who have been convicted of DWI's, Check Fraud, and Failure to file and pay both Federal and State Taxes. Biggest shakedown going next to the nonsense in Albany

Okay, so if ACORN didn't do anything wrong according to the DA and this guy willfully misrepresented what ACORN said by editing the video, will ACORN sue the guy for slander?

HA!

Obnoxious Republican weed. I bet he still borrows his dad's aftershave.

You all are screaming about the video, but you are all ignoring the corruption in this case.

District Attorney Charles Hynes ran for reelection on the WORKING FAMILY PARTY line in 2009.

WFP is a "front group for ACORN".

Hynes has now destroyed whatever small credibility he ever had as a prosecutor.

There's more wrong with your post than I have time to debunk -- probably best not to get your facts from propaganda. (Though the invocation of Godwin's law while calling others "communists" is actually pretty hilarious trolling. Well done.)

But I'll just point out one thing -- the DA doesn't run for any political party. He was ENDORSED by the WFP -- but so what? Candidates have no control over who endorses them. (Putting aside the fact that the WFP is liberal...not communist...and conflating the two requires a remarkable feat of jackassery.) If the KKK endorsed McCain, would you consider McCain to be a KKK candidate? Of course not -- don't be stupid.

It's remarkable how ridiculous some segments of the population can be about ACORN. It's like the birthers -- if you debunk one crazy theory, they just move on to the next. If anyone disagrees with them or debunks one of their crazy theories, that person must be a part of the conspiracy! Ridiculous, really...but SOP for some portions of our population today.

"(Though the invocation of Godwin's law while calling others "communists" is actually pretty hilarious trolling. Well done.)

You obviously either haven't learned how to read English or you think that many here can't, and thus you think you can LIE about what I wrote. That may have worked before the internet when it took people more time to go back and review.

I didn't call anyone a communist,

I wrote "ACORN is beloved by and you're a useful idiot for communists."

""the DA doesn't run for any political party. He was ENDORSED by the WFP -- but so what? Candidates have no control over who endorses them. "

Complete BS.

Candidates fight for and negotiate for the support of parties IN EVERY ELECTION.

Why don't you read the link above where Acorn admits WHY THEY EXIST?

"Candidates know that when they're on our line, they're committed to certain things," explains Bertha Lewis, who moonlights as WFP co-chair and New York ACORN Executive Director."

If Hynes didn't want their endorsement and their GOTV work he would have PUBLICLY refused their support.

" (Putting aside the fact that the WFP is liberal...not communist...and conflating the two requires a remarkable feat of jackassery.)"

Calling WFP "liberal" is the height of jackassery.

"If the KKK endorsed McCain, would you consider McCain to be a KKK candidate?"

Straw man (but If the KKK had endorsed Mccain then he would have publicly distanced themselves from them). PS - are you still getting your talking points from President BlameBush?

Don't YOU be stupid.

"It's remarkable how slavish some segments of the population can be about ACORN. It's like the TRUTHERS -- if you debunk one crazy theory, they just move on to the next. If anyone disagrees with them or debunks one of their crazy theories, that person must be a part of the conspiracy! Ridiculous, really...but SOP for some portions of our population today." / fixed it.

PS - you made NO REFERENCE to the GENERIC LINKS TO MULTIPLE STATE WIDE INVESTIGATIONS of vote fraud involving Acorn. Could that be because you don't care if they did it, as long as your leftwing candidates got in?

Surely you realize that the hate ACORN crowd and the birthers are all the same people...

Remarkably, this whack-job proved your point -- and mine. "Truthers," indeed.

Seriously, these people crack me up.

Oh, definitely.

actually, the working family party sucks- they supported Christine Quinn, John Liu, oliver koppell, Molinaro etc. Some of the worst politicians in office. Don't vote on their line and hopefully they will lost their automatic ballot status.

Well, we agree on that!

WFP lost all credibility with me once they endorsed Christine Quinn for her 3rd election (14 years) and so did Citizen Union who endorse Quinn. They could have endorse a viable candidate Yetta Kurland and put Quinn out to pasture. No more WFP for me. They lost my support last year.

i meant lose not lost. typo

Nothing wrong with Working Family Party. I vote for them and/or the Socialist Party whenever I have to opportunity.

The only "crime" committed by ACORN is helping poor, sometimes homeless, mostly minority people register to vote, and helps them get to polling stations on election day. To racist, paranoid, right wing, mostly white male conservatives, this is a "crime" indeed.

Acorn is subverting the most precious right we have has Americans.

TO VOTE.

ACORN is beloved by and you're a useful idiot for communists.

What's wrong with communism?

They only killed 70-100 million people...

And the fact you have no problem with a DA invetigatinga group who helped put him in office shows you are as corrupt a he is.

PS - you just hit godwins law #2, playing the race card. EPIC FAIL.

"Acorn is subverting the most precious right we have AS Americans."

"And the fact you have no problem with a DA investigating a group..."

/sigh....

I wonder when the "James O'Douche" trial for attempted wiretapping of a sitting US Senator's telephones will begin?

This f*cker needs to be locked up....

I was thinking about this video, and how easy it is to (a) fool people, and (b) selectively edit video. I was wondering who else this scam would work with, and it occurred to me: churches.

Churches are great places that work with the public and do a lot of good, but they're also full of good-hearted, trusting people just begging to be turned into patsies. How hard would it be to "expose" a church as a hot-bed of...well, whatever you want: communists, prostitutes, tax-evaders, enemies of the Galactic Empire, etc.?

Remember, all you need is a sound-bite or two -- everything that doesn't fit with what you're trying to prove will be edited out or voiced-over. How hard can it be to get a sound-bite, when you control the situation and only you see the tapes? I mean, some church employees are bright, just like some ACORN employees were bright, and some will catch on and turn you down. But to get your "proof," you only need a few that...aren't so bright.

And everyone knows a few.

This guy is one year younger than me and he look like is in his mid thirties.

Will someone please explain what is all the noise about ACORn. I realize that it is a real AMERICAN organization that gets people out to vote. I further understand that the Anti American republiCANTS dispise this organization because it encoutages people to get out and VOTE.

Now being a white male having served 20+ years in the Military (combat, note very important for Anti Americans to know that), a very strong belief in the Constitution, oh yeah that piece of paper thsat the scum and TRASH on the right want to circumvent and get rid of.

I see NO harm being done by the ACORN people, unless you casll educating people on their RIGHT to VOTE, which the Spineless, Gutless, COWARDS called republiCANTS have been trying to strip the Average American of.

If there is a problem lets look to the War Criminal Party the party of COWARDS the republiCANTS, what Party LIED us into a WAR, what Party is responsible for protecting American WAR Criminals republiCANTS, what Party is into Homosexuality, Theft (justified in their minds, criminal if you do the same), saying goodbye to your present wife on her DEATH bed while having a affair with the new Mistress, misappropriation of Taxpayer Dollars for Personal romancing in Foreign Countries, The murder of Hundreds of Innocent Americans through agency illimminations while giving TAX CUTS to the RICH. Constant voting against the WILL of the PEOPLE and DISTORTING the WILL of the PEOPLE, their is only one EVIL American Hating party and that is the Fear and Hate Mongering Thieving republiCANTS the party that CAN"T do anything for AMERICA.

No there is nothing wrong with ACORN, but I see alot wrong with the POARTY of HAte the republiCANTS the ANTI AMERICAN party.

No grammer or spelling crrections to be may so th republiCANTS and the teabaggers can read it as well don't waant to offend their lack of IQ.

could you at least post a picture of the whore to compensate for whenever you put up this ugly douchebag's mug?

Thanks President Obama for throwing Acorn under the Bus and for your silence as Congress overwhelming cut funding for Acorn which is tiny in comparison to the monies funded to Blackwater and Haliburton. Pres Obama is being played like a fool. This president has now permitted guns in national parks. Pres Obama has a low score by the Bradley group and yet the NRA sents propaganda to its members that Obama wants to take their guns.

all goes back to the Nixon rule, " if that make you deny it, you lost"

ACORN is a criminal organization and needs to be taken down right away. They teach people how to break the law and conceal their crimes. This "investigation" just shows how much their corrupt politics have infiltrated local governments.

Maybe you missed the part about "being cleared of wrongdoing."

ACORN is owned by the Working Families party. The Brooklyn DA got elected based on the help of the Working Families Party. But yeah, the Brooklyn DA "cleared" ACORN of wrongdoing.

just cause you say or hear something over and over doesn't make it true...

ACORN may be a lot of things. But teaching people how to break laws is NOT one of them. Honestly, are you REALLY that stupid or that racist, cause its one or the other.

Riiiigggghhhhhttttt....

It's not like he selectively edited the video or anything.

Yes, the beginning of the videos are edited to summarize the story, before showing the raw footage which includes everything summarized. Why are you defending these evil jerks?
