What?
I’m just trying to come up with the liberal defense for this. Obviously, the two conservatives posing as pimp and ho, (or “performance artist”), are white, and the ACORN workers are black, soooo… racism, right? Mal? Bueller?
This is the story that Glenn Beck hinted at earlier this week that he claimed would be sending people to jail. These two thoroughly corrupt ACORN workers are the dupes who will be going to jail. Michelle Malkin sets up the ruse orchestrated by 25 year old conservative videographer, James O’Keefe:
Andrew Breitbart’s new website, Big Government, has videotape of ACORN officials in Baltimore offering to help two people posing as a pimp and a prostitute, encouraging them to lie to the Internal Revenue Service in order to secure housing — and giving advice on how to claim underage girls from South America as dependents.
James O’Keefe conducted the undercover investigation and has the full transcript here.
Watch part two at Big Government.
Fox News covered this story, this morning:

Love the article title. I bet someone will actually say that by the end of the day.

Oh true. Good point.

Ha ha ha!!! Such a catchy title!
I have been listening to Glenn Beck’s radio show and heard the audio about this. Despicable!!!
Now I will watch the video here and read the links you have included.

Linked to your post from archive of articles on Obama Proxies • ACORN Census

Is that girl really a prostitute ? if so, shouldn’t her contact information be included in your post, so we can verify everything ourselves?

It’s on Beck right now.
He’s on fire. The outrage meter just pegged at “12″.

Oh man, the poor girl who was the actress in this is on Beck bashing Acorn.
She should save Minitru some trouble and just change her name to “Sarah Palin” so they don’t have to change their macros.

I question the legality of this. It is important to note that the person filming is a normal filmmaker and not a member of a law enforcement agency. That is to say, the entire video is moot. The only thing the ACORN workers can be charged with is a minor charge of conspiracy. The filmmaker, on the other hand can actually be in more trouble. In Maryland, for film and taped conversations to be made and released, there must be mutual consent. We also must note that these workers faces were shown without consent. In the end, the filmmaker can be charged with multiple crimes that can entail 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. The worst part is that if he hadn’t pretended to be a pimp, many of the things the ACORN workers did could be called out. The fact that he was faking negates many things.
