ACORN at it again!!!

[Nooomoto]

DEVELOPING: ACORN said Wednesday it will stop any "new intakes" — essentially closing its doors to new clients — until it completes an internal investigation prompted by the release of four hidden-camera videos showing workers advising a fake pimp and prostitute to lie to get loans for a brothel.


How can they do that, but at the same time talk about taking "legal action" against Fox News and the makers of the videos? Another example of an organization refusing to take responsibility for it's actions...they didn't feel bad about any of this until they got caught.

In some states, you can record anything in a public place. In other states, you gotta have permission of everyone involved in a recording. They didn't get everyone's permission before they filmed with their hidden camera.

"They?" Who, exactly, are "They?"

The CEO of ACORN went on CNN and said that what the videos show is not what they allow to go on in their organization.

Im pretty sure the rules for gaining consent are intended to protect people's private information from being stollen...i seriously doubt it would apply to a situation as such.

I'm all for using video to catch crooks, but (1) O'Keefe is not a cop, SO?(2) if he thought crimes were being committed he should have reported it to authorities,MAYBE...because ACORN would have no doubt paid to have it swept under the rug... (3) his videos cost several people their jobs, this is a bad thing?(4) he deceived people to get them to say some stupid things (which they may not have ever said, had it not been for his actions),i think if you go to the extent of bragging about killing your husband to a random stranger you probably would have said it anyway...i mean, what do you think the guy said to get her to say that?... Um.."kill anyone lately?" (5) no crimes were committed, other than his own transgressions. In return for the loss of several people's jobs, he gets fame, notoriety, and possible job offers for himself."except for the likelyhood that they(ACORN)had instigated hundreds if not thousands of fraudulent cases resulting in millions-billions in expenses to the taxpayer...including YOU...that is if they make gays pay taxes(jk)

In some states, like Maryland, it does.

Look lets not nit-pick here, the bottom line is they are corrupt! What if i see someone robbing a bank and I take another persons cell phone to call the police and after all said and done "they" say you cant do that because the phone wasnt yours is abaout as luda as the idea that "they didnt have permission to video tape this corruption" It is a tactict to shift blame. Accept it and move on besides this is old news now and there are other juicier issues about to come. Stay tuned!
