Is ACORN really screwed up this time?

In case you did not know people posing as a pimp and a prostitute have unearthed ACORN employees that are encouraging tax evasion through a brothel that has underage girls from El Salvador who are illegal and are going to be used for sex.  Is ACORN really that screwed up?

This time?

How about always?

it's ACORN, it's not like this is THAT surprising. This is an extremely corrupt organization who's sole purpose is to get Democratic votes. No matter what.

This is done by building it's base on who ever necessary (even dead people).

This is like when Planned Parenthood was willing to accept donations that ONLY go to abortions of black babies.

In this case, though, ACORN was helping someone hold a house filled with underage hookers. LOL.

I'm just glad government is finally deciding to cut funding for these bastards.

"I'm just glad government is finally deciding to cut funding for these bastards."

They tried. It was found illegal to do so. Two separate investigations, meanwhile, found ACORN has never done anything wrong.

smears are easy to toss around. Can you actually provide proof of your claims about ACORN and Planned Parenthood? Or are you just flapping your trap?

Side: ACORN found innocent -- twice

Hey, do you suppose that they should call it Unplanned Parenthood instead? I mean, think about it ;)

Side: yes

Well, yes. Unplanned parenthood results in need for the abortion provider side of the organization. However, the origins of the organization were in the effort to end back alley abortions by providing contraception to women. foir that, the founder was charged with offenses against decency. Even now, some folk not only oppose abortion, they oppose contraception.

What are they for? Abstinence-only education -- which no study has ever found effective and many have found is not. Who knew that "pro-life meant that if you have sex, you are likely going to make a new life?

ACORN has always been screwed up.

And notice how some of the people that still thought ACORN is a good organization [that just want's to help] are kind of shutting up now. That's right you know who you are.

And this is when I say: I told you so.

Meanwhile, your hero is up on federal felony charges. ACORN found innocent. Pimp suit boy now in a red jail jump-suit. There is justice in this world.

"Two separate investigations find ACORN has never done anything wrong."

What investigations?

And do you not think the sex trade is wrong?

And what hero?

Side: yes

Two separate investigations, one by a former State Attorney General of MA and one by a Congressional body both found the ACORN has done nothing wrong.

Meanwhile, the veracity of the ACORN video is in doubt. It was heavily edited and overdubbed, making it unclear what questions the ACORN staff were actually asked and what their answers are about.

The fact is, a couple of offices called the police on these characters. Did that make the videos?

I didn't think so.
