« Conservative response to torture: predictable

Really now…

September 11th, 2009

So ACORN is evil because the people that provide tax help there are idiots or something?  I mean, really, do these people think they were fooling anyone?  Have they ever seen a prostitute or a pimp in Baltimore?  This video makes you stupid.  I really don’t get the point other than proving that there are many idiots in the world; some of them work for ACORN and some of them are undercover conservative activists.

    Three separate ACORN offices cheerfully colluded with what they believed was a law student seeking to go into politics, and who wanted to pay for his career by having his girlfriend run a brothel with child prostitutes from El Salvador.

    I guess they figured, hey, the guy's no different from Barney Frank!
  • It doesn't surprise me at all that anyone in Baltimore who would be tricked into thinking that those two were who they said they were would also be stupid enough to think that it's legitimate to give tax advice for brothels. There are really two possibilities here:
    1. These two people in Baltimore are actually that stupid
    2. They were playing along with an obvious joke and the tape was edited to make them look stupid

    Either way, they should be fired. Either way, it doesn't reflect poorly on the larger organization assuming they are fired and this behavior and/or stupidity isn't tolerated.

    It's four offices now. I don't see how you can dismiss them as stupid: their advice was very sensible and they clearly had a solid grasp of the tax code. The issue isn't one of intelligence or "behavior," it's one of an environment in which there is a complete disregard for any kind of law or morality.

    How is it that no one in those offices noticed that their coworkers are completely lawless and amoral?

    "Either way, it doesn't reflect poorly on the larger organization assuming they are fired..."

    Clearly the Census Bureau disagrees with you.
  • It means ACORN has hired idiots. Like I said, anyone who's stupid enough to think those are actual Baltimore criminals is not bright enough to aid in tax fraud. Alternatively, they could've just been fooling around in which case they were acting stupidly. Either way they should be, and were, fired. Both of these possibilities seem far more likely than the existence of an organization that demands no money in exchange for help in organizing front companies from criminal enterprises seeking to evade taxes. Have you not seen the Wire? That's what we have sleazy lawyers for.
