This is Nuts
author: burr wonders the morality of it all
Sure we all know that ACORN is against the big bad right wing g'ment , the "man" the opressor of the masses...but lets get real, morally speaking, for a few minutes. Moral folk do not get caught up in the sort of stuff the right has caught ACORN in. They do not play those games for 'the man' or to advance the end of 'the man.' As it has of been put by the confidence criminals:" you can't con an honest man." This relates to how those scams rely on the human weaknesses of the victim to get something undeservedly, illegally, immorally. What is the difference from that for the ACORN workers who have gladly gone along with this up-front "underage international prostitution ring to finance my campaign" sting? How do so many agents fighting the noble fight for truth dignity and equality and an end to oppression......end up going along?
Oh, you might say its not ACORN, its just the employees as incividual persons and it should not be taken as a reflection.....
Oh really. "My husband and my kids might burn crosses in that black mans yard, and they might all proudly paste KKK stickers on their truck windows. But that should not say anything about me, a mother, nor about my childrearing practices and how I ....."
Oh really
The ends justifies the ends? well, don't some also remember that the means ARE the ends? Don't some scoff at the wisecrack that "we burned the village to save the village" as well?
My enemies enemy is my friend? Pimps are against the legal system. The Cartels to the south are against civilized laws, courts, imprisonment, police, the established order....does that mean we should take them as allies in the strugle for life liberty and dignity?

"The organization that contracted with ACORN has not released the funds yet, claiming that ACORN submitted reimbursements "outside the scope of the agreement," including "fringe benefits" for the salaried staffer working on the project."
"hasn't paid ACORN yet due to "poor reporting by the ACORN Institute regarding another project not related to DOJ grant funds." Phoenix is trying to terminate its contract with ACORN."
"Given the willingness of some ACORN employees to ignore the law, it comes as no surprise that the IG's report found several instances ......."

""O'KEEFE: The money that's going to be cycling through the sex business, I might want to use that money for my campaign one day.
STEWART: Oh, OK, I see what you mean. Fourteen and 15-year-old been traveling overseas for years. That's not something that's brand new, you know what I mean? I could do research for you. I could find out what you could do, how to get you in that door. You know, get that started.
O'KEEFE: We don't want that paper trail. We don't want that money to come out of that business. You know what I mean? We've got the girls doing these sex tricks, and you don't want it public.
STEWART: Yes, yes. That's true.
O'KEEFE: Because if I'm running for Congress, I don't want people to find out where the money came from.
STEWART: Oh, yes, that's very important.""
""HANNAH GILES, POSED AS PROSTITUTE IN VIDEO: Well, first she wanted to take me to a center for tortured victims when she thought that I was just an abused prostitute. But as soon as we said that we wanted to run a business with underaged girls, a sex business, then that's when she said, "Oh, here's how I can help."
HANNITY: Did you get my — the same impression, Hannah, that I got, that she's like, "Oh, I'll do all the research for you"? Sounded to me like she wanted in with you guys.
GILES: No, she gave me her cell phone number. She told me to call her at Wednesday at noon, you know. She was — she was very helpful in a weird way.""
