The AP reports it like this:"Hidden-camera videos released by conservative activists posing as a prostitute and a pimp have shown ACORN employees giving advice on home buying and how to account on tax forms for the woman's income."http://news..com/s/ap/20090916/ap_o…The Wall Street Journal reports it like this:"On Monday, the U.S. Senate voted 83-7 to strip Acorn, the premier community organizing group on the left, of more than $1.6 million in federal housing money meant to assist low-income people obtain loans and prepare tax forms. This dramatic step followed last Friday's decision by the U.S. Census Bureau to sever its ties with the organization, one of several community groups it was partnering with to conduct the nation's head count.Both of these actions came after secretly recorded videos involving employees in Acorn's Brooklyn, N.Y., Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Md. and San Bernardino, Calif. offices were televised on Fox News. The videos were recorded by two independent filmmakers who posed as a prostitute and a pimp and said they were planning to import underage women from El Salvador for the sex trade. They asked for and received advice on getting a housing loan and evading federal taxes. "http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424…Seriously AP?? "Advice on home buying"?? WTF??

I've hardly seen any mention of it on any news sites either. Some have it buried in the politics section, but while we have 6 front page stories on Kanye, Wilson, and other non-events, this is barely covered or mentioned.

Yes the same way they glossed over Sadam was behind 911, America doesn't Torture, John McCain,s involvement with the S&L scandal last election, The outing of a CIA officer and the list goes on. Yes why not. I can think of a ton of more important stories that need to be covered.

There is no credible defense fior ACORN and similar organizations involved in illegal activities. The leaders should get jail time.

Why didn't you include this part of the AP article?"Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., wrote Attorney General Eric Holder requesting the investigation. He cited reports that ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, may "have been engaged in illegal activity" by aiding and abetting tax evasion, prostitution, human trafficking, fraud and conspiracy."
