Acorn Encourages Child Prostitution And Tax Cheating

This has been making the rounds. I thought it might be good to have those who missed it see it. Also watch Part 2.

This is so utterly depraved that it beggars belief. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of prostitution (loveless sex doesn't interest me), but if adults want to engage in that sort of thing it is their business. But importing children for sex slavery is so beyond the pale I can hardly imagine what was going through the minds of the descendants of slaves giving advice on how to pull off this depravity with government money.

And we are getting the usual "isolated incident" crap from the usual suspects. And then this video surfaces. So what I want to know is when is ACORN going to be RICOed? Judging by the Black Panther case just dismissed by Obama's Justice Department, not any time soon.

Just so you know, ACORN is slated to get billions in stimulus money. I do not believe that abetting child prostitution was ever the kind of stimulus most Americans had in mind.

It seems Mr. Obama has had an ongoing relationship with ACORN.

While Barack Obama's connection with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has not gone entirely unreported, it has not been fully explained. Most media background pieces simply note Obama's involvement in a 1995 lawsuit on behalf of ACORN. Obama's own website, as well as most major media, fail to reveal the full depth and extent of his relationship with the organization.

Attempts to hide evidence of Obama's involvement with ACORN have included wiping the web clean of potentially damaging articles that had appeared, and were previously publicly accessible. Unfortunately, those behind the attempted cover-up failed to realize that in today's day and age, nothing disappears forever. There also exists another layer of the web, the hidden web, which is full of information included in proprietary scholarly databases where these very same "missing" articles can be easily uncovered.

Obama's campaign website states:

Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.

Is that really a FACT, or just another lie? Let's take a look at a quote from a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, which was published in the journal Social Policy. Did we mention that Social Policy recently pulled this particular article from their website, while leaving links to all other articles up?

"Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5,000 of them).

Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."

So Obama is an "old friend" of ACORN? What a surprise.

What is that I hear? A bus revving up? It looks like ACORN may be about to get thrown under the bus. Along with the Rev. Wright and Mr. Obama's very own granny. Evidently the bus has already started to roll.

Conservatives have cheered the Census Bureau's decision to sever ties with ACORN because it had lost confidence in the group, but the hidden-camera videos that prompted ACORN to fire four workers this week could raise more questions about the federal funding ACORN receives for housing outreach.

ACORN Housing Corporation received $1.6 million to provide housing services to low-income communities in this fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, according to USASpending.gov, a federal government Web site for tracking government grants.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Grants has given $8.2 million to ACORN in the years between 2003 and 2006, as well as $1.6million to ACORN affiliates.

Talk about a culture of corruption. However, the destruction of ACORN will not be sufficient if another organization rises up to take its place. Or if only a few token bad apples take the fall. The whole rotten structure must be brought down. And that is going to require at minimum a new Congress and probably a new president. We have to keep the heat on these low lifes. My advice:

The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance.

And I'm not the first to say that. Not by a long shot. The recent March Against Washington is a step in the right direction.
