Update on ACORN

Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/11/cens...

The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census. ACORN had previously been tapped to help with low level data gathering. A copy of the Director's letter has been sent to Congress and relevant committees, as well as ACORN.

This latest news comes as 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.

Just wait until ACORN and other libbies join the Dems for Census mischief, followed by redistricting.

Yes. I have a question: Given that this is video evidence, why didn't CNN pick it up ( or anyone else, for that matter)? Does your unbridled hatred turn facts into lies when they're on the wrong network?

Great, back to grade school tactics again....

Wilson embarasses the entire conservative movement by acting like a 2 year old and their response is...."So, liberals are bad too!"

Yes, they are...but that has nothing to do with Wilson.

Reps needs to find a way to punish Wilson for his actions and then be done with it.

This “Story” was made public on “The Glenn Beck Show” Any more questions? Oh, you again Leonidas

No problem always happy to provide a liberal an opportunity to make a clown of himself with an ad hominem in the face of hard evidence, in this case on video.

Then I suppose Republicans would want ethics reform if they truly were concerned about Democratic corruption- at least in New York This just in today:

But I guess the Republicans fear that passing ethics reform would hurt the GOP more than it would hurt the Democratic Party.

Iamavettoo;
Do you mean to tell me that one finds "no" truth from Glenn Beck?
I thought you liberals were fighting generalizations and stereotypes.

Dems have plenty of corrupt individuals. GOP has plenty of corrupt individuals.
Corruption is a product of unchecked power and empathy of the citizenry.

And like the StockBoy mentioned in a different context, "In every organization there are bad seeds".

The problem is, StockBoy..... ACORN did most of it's hiring from the "bad seed pile".

Re the ACORN employees. They were fired. In every organization there are bad seeds. Laws were potentially broken and the matter is being handled appropriately. I don't see the point unless ACORN came to their defense and defended their behavior.

Well not Democratic politicians but certainly tied to them at least somewhat

2 ACORN Employees Fired, Could Face Criminal Charges
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,549001,00.html

The staffers appeared to commit federal tax fraud by offering to help them — for a fee — to establish a child brothel, legal experts say.

In a video made public Thursday, two visitors to an ACORN office in Baltimore told staffers they needed assistance securing housing where the woman, a 20-year-old who called herself "Kenya," could continue to run her prostitution business.

An ACORN official told the couple how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador that they said they wanted to import as prostitutes.
