During the Presidential debate on Oct 15, 2008, Barack Obama told the moderator,
"Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself"
OK Mr President we will, and since you have always been open and proud of your connections with ACORN, I would like everyone to watch these video's of ACORN officials offering assistance to a pimp and a prostitute. What you will see in these videos is ACORN officials encouraging a prostitute and her pimp how to lie to the Internal Revenue Service and how to claim underage girls from South America as dependents. Part I & Part II. These videos are the product of an undercover investigation by James O'Keefe.
In one portion of the video, you will hear an ACORN staffer suggesting that the prostitute list her occupation as a freelance performing artist.
”It's not dancing, trust me," replies the undercover reporter playing a pimp.
To which the staffer replies "But dancing is considered an art, usually going under performing artists, or yeah, they usually go under performing arts", (the staffer looks at the girl posing as a prostitute and continues) "which will be what you are, a performing artist."
The pimp later talks about the couple's plans to bring up to 13 very young girls from El Salvador to work as prostitutes. Unfazed by the pimps plans, the two ACORN staffers do not threaten him with legal action, instead they offer him advice on how to claim the young girls as dependents for a tax deduction.
"What if they are going to be making money because they are performing tricks too?" The pimp is heard asking.
"If they making money and they are underage, then you shouldn't be letting anybody know anyway," the ACORN staffer says on the audiotape before laughing. "It's illegal. So I am not hearing this, I am not hearing this. You talk too much. Don't give up no information you're not asked.”
Another staffer is seen giving the prostitute advice on how she can keep all this secret by telling her to teach the girls to shut up and keep quiet.
After watching these video's, all I could think about was the $4.19 billion from the stimulus package for neighborhood stabilization activities. With all that money I am sure we will see more examples of liberal love for children exuding from various neighborhood organizations like ACORN. I ask again, why is it that those whom liberals claim to care about the most, are the ones who get hurt the most by their help?
I also wonder how long it will take the authorities to charge these staffers under Title 26 USC 7206 of the Federal Penal Code which reads;
Any person who…...(2) Willfully aids or assists in, or procures, counsels, or advises the preparation or presentation under, or in connection with any matter arising under, the Internal Revenue laws, of a return, affidavit, claim, or other document, which is fraudulent or is false as to any material matter, whether or not such falsity or fraud is with the knowledge or consent of the person authorized or required to present such return, affidavit, claim, or document; shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof:
Shall be imprisoned not more than 3 years,or fined not more than $250,000 for individuals $500,000 for corporations, or both together with cost of prosecution
Or will the Justice Dept refuse to prosecute them? After all, there is precedence set by Obama for letting his thugs off the hook for crimes against the country. This past May Obama's justice Dept dropped all charges against the "New Black Panthers" who were intimidating voters, and even shoved reporters around who were just reporting on the election at an inner city precinct in Philadelphia. You can relive the moment if you would like by checking out this YouTube video of Obama's thug's intimidating voters.
To read the rest of the transcript, or watch the video of the conversation between the ACORN staffers and the pimp, go to James O'Keefe's web site called Big Government and learn what over a billion dollars of the stimulus package money it doing for the economy.
On one hand, ACORN has been found innocent of the crimes it has been accused of by two separate investigations.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand we have the accuser, Fox News, not exactly an honest unbiased player, and we have obviously heavily doctored videos as "evidence".
If ACORN is really guilty of the crimes Fox News is accusing it of, why doesn't it drag ACORN to court and prove it's case instead of trying the case in the media where ACORN has no voice and cannot present a defense?
You don't mind if I consider ACORN innocent until proven guilty, do you? I mean ACORN is not even Muslim so it does have some protections under the law, right?
