“We doin’ big pimpin’ up in NYC”: From a little ACORN, a scandal grows in Brooklyn

Oh my, that title sounds like a novel I’d rather not read…

It seems that it was not such a fluke when ACORN employees were caught on film advising folks how to simultaneously run a brothel staffed by under age illegal aliens and dodge the taxes on the revenues of that operation.  The latest episode in the criminal saga is set in Brooklyn.

To which ACORN is responding, Fuhgeddabowdit !; Darleen at PW covers the story where Bertha Lewis invokes a comparison to Willie Horton, all while threatening legal action.

But Ms. Lewis unwittingly makes an excellent analogy when she compares ACORN to Willie Horton; just not the one she intended. Because ACORN is a criminal enterprise, which has already been caught in wrongdoing, that will to violate the law, the rights of people, and defraud the government of money and the right to fair and accurate elections if facilitated by liberals; just like Willie Horton was allowed to continue to brutalize people while on “work” release from his life sentence in prison…

She wants to sound the oft employed dog-whistle of  RAAAAACISM!, but unfortunately for her and ACORN, the proof is in these videos; not to mention that her allies on the left have worn out the race card in the eyes of most Americans with it’s gratuitous use attacking all who oppose Obama’s policy prescriptions…

And sue the filmmaker? I’m afraid there is way too much precedent set for hidden camera sting video operations done by news organizations and whistleblowers. And all the howls of RAAAAAAACISM! in the world won’t change that inconvenient truth.

It’s time that ACORN stopped feeding at the public trough; otherwise the US taxpayer will continue, “doin' big pimpin, spendin' cheese”...

  1. President Barack Obama is half-black yet light years smarter than you.

    Get over it.

  2. That’s not the subject of this thread; maybe next time…

    Would you care to defend Obama’s past involvement with ACORN? Or his secretive posture on the details of his past? What’s he got to hide?

    Are you saying ACORN is free from any illegal activities or actors? Hell, I considered their mau-mauing banks backed up by CRA extortionist provisions was criminal in itself, and was a major contributor to our economic woes…

    Why don’t you e-mail Dan an informative post on why it’s otherwise, and on what you think Obama’s speech proffers for our financial systems future; with links though and not completely anecdotal…

    I’m sure we’d all be happy to have an expert enlighten us on matters where we are dilletantes at best…

    I mean it, Podnuh; spread the wealth around!

  3. Funny, but your degrading tone does kind of give you away as a RAAAACIST. It’s obvious. To typify this entire organization as criminal is such a stretch, that I’m amazed you can even stand to put that in writing. It’s not critical or intelligent. It remains to be seen what happens next with this. Senate’s precipitous defunding of ACORN is premature, but it seems that the whole country is becoming terrified of people like you. Lucky the rest of the world is watching and just waiting for people like you to make the wrong move.

    We’ll be on the side of your President. You might want to dial it down a notch or three.

  4. The right side of my President, Jennifer? Are you even an American citizen?

    Are you even aware of ACORN’s criminal history, historic and of late? And any “degrading tone” you percieve is based both on ACORN’s criminality as well as the gratuitous charges of racism being leveled against any who oppose Obama or the socializing of the American government. So unless you can be more specific on how I am racist, besides that weak “tone” stuff, you have made a baseless accusation much like Obama’s supporters regularly do to their opponents.

    If you are not a US citizen, then I’m sorry, I dismiss your criticism of domestic political issies and/or issues of jurisprudence as a non-factor. And if you are a citizen, you should be worried that an organization that has recieved so much public money has used those funds to defraud elections, pervert legislation meant on helping the poor, and enable scofflaw behavior such as those seen in the sting videos…

    The Senate defunding of ACORN has been a long time coming for that corrupt organization. I for one am happy to hear it…

  5. The only thing that can undo the bias of the News Media is a scandulous story like this one… The only difference is that these are two young Americans who are risking their whole future on seeking the truth about what most in America are afraid to do. And I only hope that they will “ignite” a firestorm of more like minded young men and women to stand up for the Life and Liberties they were told to believe about in H.S. History class. That longing for the “REAL America” was a true testament this weekend at the National Mall. This is no coincedence and the timing couldn’t be more Perfect !

  6. I am curious, Edgell, why Mr. Obama’s skin color is important to his IQ? I thought only racists thought that way. At least that’s what you keep telling us.

    Jennifer, if an conservative organization had even one third of the idictments filed against them as this ACORN crowd has there would already be a bunch of USAtty seeking RICO indictments and you know it. Now I’m sorry that outfit seems to be filled with crooks. Trouble is, it’s not Dans fault they’re crooks, nor is it Bob’s or Wm. or mine. Nor has anyone here said that all of ACORN’s people are crooks. Thing is, allegations of voter fraud, etc have been coming out for years and ACORN has failed to police it’s own ranks. Again, that’s not our fault.

  7. Aww, you’re just a victimized victim of the victimizers!

    I’m just curious, Peter, but do you feel threatened by high-IQ half-black threatening threateners?

    Nothing but right-wing water lily sissy-bois around here.

    Obama-up, fer Christ sake!

    So let’s extend you logic to, oh, I don’t know, the U.S. Navy!

    A criminal enterprise, yup-yup, I mean do you know how many Naval personnel are currently doing time behind bars for criminal activities? I dare fathom!

    And let’s not pretend that our beloved Navy isn’t a Socialist organization, because it is Socialist empire indeed!

    • edge,
      You’ve raised drivel to a high art, my friend. I don’t even know what you’re getting at accusing the US Navy of being a criminal enterprise based on the number of sailors in the Brig at any one time.

      And the Navy is the farthest thing from socialist, though if you can make any cogent points proving that assertion I’ll happily entertain them…

      C’mon, really…Comparing the Navy to ACORN? Weak tea indeed. I await your response…

  9. Ohh, this is all just B.S.
    Has nothing to do with people being fired immediately from it.
    Has nothing to do with Mr. Van Jones either he only “Quit” before they got the bus to come around the corner….. Then after he resigns , it was reported by media…..
    This has nothing to do with the associations of the current administration… It’s just sure coincidence, left?
    So Mrs. Exec. Director of ACORN is also staying on, Of course she won’t be stepping down…… No Way Jose! Let’s see how far the rabbit hole goes…… Then comment on here with gusto!
    But I’m an admitted ‘racist’ a racist against corruption of any creed, color, religious, or pagan (religious devotee) foreign but especially DOMESTIC !
    Wait till you read the ties to sitting president Mr. Hubby of Michelle O’Bama. His tenure at ACORN as legal counsel…was shredded days before that is just my guess. But we mustn’t make a molehill out of a mountain, now should we??
