    Default ACORN scandals.

    Just wondering if anyone was following the scandals of ACORN lately?
    There are several undercover videos from several different ACORN offices throughout the U. S. featuring ACORN employees giving advice on setting up brothels with underage illegal immigrants to a man and a woman posing as a pimp and his prostitute. I am to tired to go link the videos now so if anyone else wants to provide a link go ahead as I will likely work late tomorrow and may not even get to it tomorrow.

    I have been reading about them a lot lately , from the prostitution issue in Chicago to the voter registration fraud in Florida, It doesn't sound like they have much oversight going on at the various branches throughout the country. Their basic message is one to empower impoverished minorities. That I have no problem with, but the people who were involved with these types of activities need to be brought to justice. I am glad to see something in being done to correct the issue. It's sad to see an organization that started out as being supportive of basic rights and the ability to better oneself fall into criminal activity. Unfortunately this seems to be pretty common these days.

    And once again, another tie to Obama. That guy has more dirty baggage than a garbage dump.

    I am not a huge Stewart fan, but he kind of summed up my thoughts on this issue.

    John Stewart on ACORN, the audacity of hos

    I don't think their stated goals have ever matched their actions, which are completely shady, and have always been.

    I think their oversight is just fine but like the mafia they have a goal and will do whatever they have to to reach it, legal or not, everything we are hearing about "rogue offices" and people is just plausible deniability for a criminal organization. One which owns the president I might add.

    Might be the other way 'round.

    BHO used to train these people. I expect they are good learners. Those Acorn's probably haven't fallen far from the BH Oak. Michelle may not have been proud to be an American at that time but I bet she was proud of BHO's Acorn work.
