Rotten ACORNs Don’t Fall Far From The Tree

It is time for America to stand up and say "ENOUGH DAMNIT!"

Last week Glenn Beck blew the doors off a story that he had been cooking for a while: an undercover independent film-maker and associate had walked into an ACORN office pretending to be a pimp and prostitute and "asked for help" in cheating the government by obtaining both a housing subsidy and committing tax fraud.

But that’s not where they stopped – they disclosed "intent" to bring in underage girls from El Salvador as the essence of their "business" to serve as prostitutes as well.

In short, they declared themselves as traffickers in the sexual abuse of children and asked this government-supported and funded "community organization" – an organization that Barack Obama was associated with very closely in his time as a Chicago "machine" politician before he ran for President – for help.

Instead of being tossed out on their tail (or having the cops called) they instead received advice from ACORN on how to swindle the United States Federal Government in the promulgation and practice of their alleged-unlawful scheme!

When the first tape broke there was outrage.

The second, in Baltimore, provoked a threat from the prosecutor – a threat to prosecute the filmmaker for "unlawful wiretapping" under Maryland statute.

(Note that not one word was said about prosecuting ACORN for suborning felony tax evasion, say much less suborning felony transport of minors across state and international borders for the purpose of prostitution!)

Once is a "rogue employee."  Twice is "troubling."

But now a third tape has surfaced of the same pair asking the same questions in an ACORN Office in NYC.

You decide what this is for yourself.

As someone who has spent more than two decades trying to get kiddie porn off The Internet, as someone who has worked with law enforcement in the past in the development of strategies to combat this heinous (and felonious) act, as an individual who had multiple death threats made against him and his family in the 1990s for standing up repeatedly IN PUBLIC and stating that Internet Providers who were carrying Usenet groups that comprised 70% of the total volume of traffic under names such as "alt.binaries.pictures.teen-$#ck" were knowingly suborning and contributing to felonious conduct and should be prosecuted, I will make my position clear:

In my opinion once is a rogue person in an organization a second time is deeply troubling, but with three separate tapes in three separate locations and three separate groups of staff, one must now ask: Is this systemic, organized support and suborning of felonious conduct?  And if so, does it not rise to the level of racketeering and thus demand a full and complete federal prosecutorial response?

Where are the cops folks?

Have we descended into such a sea of lawlessness in this nation with all the bankster bailouts and hiding of "white collar" scams and frauds through the use of taxpayer funds that the apparent suborning of not only felony tax evasion but trafficking in underage girls as prostitutes – one of the most heinous and outrageous acts of exploitation of children and a bona-fide worldwide problem – is overlooked by our Federal Prosecutorial apparatus because the organization involved has strong ties to our President and his administration?

AGAIN: IS THE GOVERNMENT A FELON?

ARE THOSE  OF YOU WITH DAUGHTERS GOING TO SIT ON YOUR FANNIES AND ALLOW THIS SORT OF SCANDAL TO BECOME NOTHING MORE THAN  A PISSING MATCH BETWEEN FOX NEWS AND ACORN’S SPOKESWOMAN?

OR ARE THE MOTHERS, FATHERS, GRANDMOTHERS, GRANDFATHERS AND ALL OTHER GOOD, SOLID AMERICANS FINALLY GOING TO STAND UP AND SAY:

NO MORE DAMNIT, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!  LOCK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE CROOKS UP – THE CROOKS ON WALL STREET, THE CROOKS ON K STREET, THE CROOKS IN BALTIMORE, DC, NEW YORK AND EVERYWHERE ELSE.  ALL OF THEM.  AND BY THE WAY – THIS IS NOT A REQUEST; WE CAN AND WILL DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO PRESS OUR DEMAND.  YOU WORK FOR US, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, AND WE WILL NO LONGER SIT, WATCH AMERICAN IDOL, AND TAKE THIS OUTRAGE.  PERIOD.  NOW GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET TO WORK.
