AP: ACORN Fires 2 After Hidden-Camera Footage Aired
by PubliusFrom the Associated Press:
BALTIMORE (AP) – The nonprofit housing group ACORN has fired two employees at its Baltimore office who were seen on hidden-camera video giving advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman pretending to be a prostitute.
Fox News Channel broadcast excerpts from the video Thursday. Those excerpts showed a man and woman asking about buying a house and how to account on tax forms for the woman’s income. An ACORN employee advises the woman to list her occupation as “performance artist.“
Maryland ACORN board member Margaret Williams says in a statement the employees “did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.”

"did not meet ACORN's standard of professionalism."
Right…. Sure….
who trained those two? and then who trained the ones that trained them? and so on and so on….i want the root pulled too, as in time to shut down acorn.
Yo ACORN, can you "pimp my ride" ???
I thought they were employees of the month for ACORN!__
"Standards of professionalism"? What standards are these?
Where is Matt Lauer???? No one else is reporting this horrific behavior
Curious the Feds have been unable to recall the relevance of RICO in situations like ACORN. Oh right, RICO doesn't apply when you're an extension of the U.S. Federal government. Laws… they're for the other party.
at least we know who Obama surrounds himself with
Pattiann, didn't Obama do the training when he was just a lowly community organizer?
I thought Acorn's official response was that it was a set-up?
Now they're blaming their people?
LOL, and who trained them to their standard of excellence. I doubt these two had the wherewithall to come up with stuff like this by themselves.
na, I think Acorn trained him
This story may get more "legs". This site and FOX has done a great job and now it's on the Drudge Report near the top of the site.
I am sure that the employees are told to accept anybody no matter what. Unless it was not able to cover. I'm sure that they have to meet some kind of quota.
And these people are going to "help" with the census! Scary.
I guarantee from now on that they tighten up security. They don't want this kind of shit happening again. they definitely want to keep there business going while there is no election going on.
How typical.
But maybe these two freshly unemployed heathens can qualify for some of Obama's CZAR positions?
Surely we could use a "Shaft" CZAR?
Thank God for Fox. At least these two brave young people had a place to go and reveal this horrible group, Acorn! What if these two were really looking for a house to do this business. How many more offices of Acorn would do the same?
Wow, with a story as big as this, you can bet every major news organization will pick it up. I'm going to tune into MSNBC Keith Olberman tonight. It will probably be his lead story……
I just hope this corrupt "organization" is exposed for what is really is. It sickens me that my tax dollars are going to this place.
I just hope that Fox continues the pressure – these criminals MUST be exposed.
It was the crying babies in the background–very unprofessional.
None as of now. before, im sure everyone of them would have done the same thing
Of course, it is unprofessional to allow yourself to be taped while doing your job….
I think that Fox is the only station that will broadcast this story. If another news station broadcasts it, it will be because of Glenn Beck.
You can BET A-MESS-NBC will NOT report this.
Obama's channels have their heads elsewhere!

Obama to school children " be careful what you post on Facebook"
Obama to ACORN Employees "be careful what you be telling to whores and pimps
Obama to school children " be careful what you post on Facebook"
Obama to ACORN Employees "be careful what you be telling to whores and pimps"
By the way, expect two results:
1) The "rogue employee" defense. Planned Parenthood has been stung dozens of times for aiding and abetting statutory rape, and nothing ever happens but the "rogue employees" being fired. The organization is never help liable. Another time they were caught on tape accepting a donation targeting black babies from a man posing as an unabashed racist out to exterminate black babies. Another "rogue" employee.
2) The media will get off its ass now–to investigate Hannah, much as they did Joe the Plumber.
If you want to pimp somebody, pimp these two for all the dirt they know of. Classic agent turning. They may be receptive to spilling a whole lot of beans. This is how you fight these marxists. Expose them to the light of day. Good work to all involved. You are doing your country a service as sure as our troops overseas are and just as important. The two who posed for this need to be protected. The leftists will go after them. Hard.
The Long Legged Mac Daddy sure does surround himself with interesting people.
Commies that blow up police stations.
Radical Reverends that weave webs of conspiracy theory involving the government creating AIDS to kill blacks.
Tax Cheats.
Van Jones bashing whites.
And now this.
Yikes. *Shiver*.
LOL! I was howling with laughter when I read that statement! ACORN and professionalism do not belong in the same sentence.
Where can i find the complete video of this
It makes me shudder to think how many times this kind of thing goes on everyday in our America. Thank God for GB and Fox. We all have to shout out to save our country from this cesspool of corruption. Everyone send this clip to your Congressmen and demand that action be taken.
Understatement of the decade.
Is it just me or am I just being prejudiced against the extreme liberals and progressives, where is the drive by media during these revelations. Thank goodness for Fox News where the facts are presented and you decide what you wish to believe. The Radke boys and Podesta's group that is drafting all the bills for congress these days need to be shut down and prosecuted. Hillary and Bill Clinton are two extreme Progressives and they believe in the super race as did the Nazi's during WWII. We never learn our lessons. Personally, after the bullies tried to get Glen Beck fired for making an opinionated statement that he believed Obama was being a racist, I believe he is also driving a wedge between the ethnic groups here in America. No Socialistic medical care.
Hannah, my pastor's daughter, is as clean as they come. Good luck with going after her. Good, solid, conservative Christian. Then they'll have a hell of a time going after her father Doug Giles. 'Nuff said.
Does anyone know where i can find this video of acorn and the 2 people posing as a pimp and prostitute?
Talk about radicals and extremist, the white house crew are beyond description. Worst administration since Jimmy Carter no doubt. Jimmy only gave up the Panama Canal, now BO is giving away our Republic. The most powerful and advanced civilization ever will now become a banana republic.
correct — in the video the workers seem to be very experienced, knowledgeable, and practiced on how to deal with situations like what is shown. This certainly wasn't the first time.
Kudos to James O'Keefe and the patriots who know the difference between freedom and servitude to a corrupt regime. Liberals beware… you are in servitude and your liberties have been surrendered for the "hope and change" mantra. Real corruption is at home in acorn and the democrat party machine.
Does Anyone know where i can find this video
go to youtube and in the search area type "Baltimore" and "ACORN".
Home site and scroll down to one of the other stories…front page news.
What is that supposed to mean?
This is how our hard earned tax money is being used? How many more of these thugs are doing this around America? WHERE IS THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA? Go to Media Matters and you can see the Libs over there defending this. They think Glenn is the enemy. WE MUST FIGHT CORRUPTION NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would say your statement is the understatement of the decade…
GO TO BIGGOVERNMENT.COM AND 17 MINUTES OF THIS CAN BE SEEN.
american when are we going to wake up, they are the small fry. the corruption start from the top down, our whole political system is corrupted. where is the fbi and our secret service
Just remember, they could be rogue employees; having said that, if this appears to be rampant across ACORN offices (it will surface now), it should be investigated by both parties – yep the (D) and (R) immediately. This is tax payer waste and should not be tolerated.
Yet again, I'm still wondering why the media isn't covering some things and only does so when it is exposed by bloggers and FoxNews.com I'm not rushing to judgement but, it is on my radar screen…
WHERE THE HELL IS THE MEDIA ON THIS……(THEY ARE IN BED WITH OBAMA.)….COME ON…. CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN…..SHAMEFUL…..THAT YOU ALL IGNORE TO INFORM… WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET ACORN IMPEACHED????? COME ON AMERICA WAKE UP. WHO IS COVERING FOR THAT TREE?????? WHERE IS THE FBI…WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING BESIDES NOTHING.
the major reason why this is being ignored by the media is because they are in bed with Obama and this story makes Obama look bad (either rightly or wrongly) since he's been so closely linked with the organization.
Saw the video on Glenn Beck's show before I even got home to my computer.
Selling other people into slavery. Wow. Just. . . damn.
CNN just aired the story. I guess they finally had no choice.
I wish you hadn't given her family name, Taggert. I think there is a reason she didn't give her last name on Beck. Or, as Tangina says in Poltergeist, "Don't give them [satanic spirits] any help. They know enough already."
But then again, as I wrote earlier, the media is going to go after her with a vengeance not seen since Joe the Plumber. Even more, perhaps, because Hannah and her producer also exposed the media for the spineless, corrupt, overpaid frauds that they are at the same time.
Just heard on the radio, the two Baltimore Acorn employees have been fired.
Just so everyone knows. Fox news station owns 7 different news stations. Including CNN and others
I did just see this video on CNN – Lou Dobb's. Of course, there seems to be some sort of debate as to this being against the law in Maryland. I hope not! ACORN is a big part of the corruption taking place in Washington and across the nation.
Tell her we appreciate it, we meaning my husband and I. She shows a strength of character rare these days in one so young. I think she has a bright future
It's the same Maryland law that got Linda Tripp. Because of the law, the 2 who actually made the video might be in trouble with Maryland officials but this shouldn't stop the investigation that needs to be done by others.
I'm really starting to dislike Obama's particular brand of socialism….If we have to live on a planet that is now ruled by socialism and communism, must we have these piles of puke in control of the socialist states of America? WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW BAD THIS IS GOING TO GET BEFORE IT ENDS!!! IF IT EVER ENDS!!!!…..come to think of it, the only bright side of all this planetary tyranny and enslavement is that according to many, Jesus Christ is about come back….(along with the great tribulation and armeggedon)….guess who Obama turns out being?
1.This goes a lot deeper than Acorn, considering Obama's association with,and being part of Acorn in the past. he
association needs to be investigated in its entirety. His past relationship with many Subversive Groups who
have in the past, had a desire to overthrow our type of government.
2.This has included those that advocate a Marxist Type Government. I do not understand how he became so popular considering his relatively unknown past. We should consider those that he has surrounded himself with. (Czars.) They were appointed by him, without Senate Confirmation. Why has this been allowed to continue? We have a Constitution to protect us and our Freedom. Was these appointments even Constitutional and legal? No one will answer. He refuses to present his original Birth Certificate, which in is suspicious, to say the least. His
Pastor Wright has even referred to him as the Messiah.. Is Obama even a legal American Citizen? Show his original Birth Certificate.
Perhaps the lady's will be angry enough at being used by ACORN that one of them will be the "deep throat" that brings this racket down?
I first met ACORN during my college years in the 70’s. They were trying to get the university to add a mandatory fee, to support ACORN, as part of every student’s enrollment fees. The administration only withdrew this fee when the students loudly complained.
Her name is already out there in articles…not just this one. Trust me, it's all over facebook. Otherwise, would have been discreet. Look her up on townhall.com…she has articles published there. At her young age, her aspirations are to be a conservative journalist.
You have no idea the support behind her.
Great work Glenn and all your staff, and Fox. These people are SCUM, from the bottom of the gutter to the all the way up to the West Wing right into the Oval Office, but I never expected any thing less. I'm also a recovering alcoholic and I've been a volunteer in the local jail for 13 years and I can spot a liar from a mile away. What has always puzzled me is that Obama isn't even that good of a liar, because every single time he talks he LIES. Keep your heads down you guys, you are all in my, my wife's, and my five year old son's prayers. Love You And We Mean It!! The Callahan Family
James said they were talking to him earlier today on his facebook. Finally!
curious,How many others have these two Acorn ladies counseled on how to break the law? Do they have any files to look into? or has their office been scrubbed? What are their tax returns like? And yes WHO TRAINED THEM? Didn"t I hear somewhere that the arts were getting some of the biggest chunks of tarp money? How sweet pay off your tarts and pimps and tax dodgers with hard earned tax payers money.
well, How many are we paying for? No congressmen ever had to pay for their mistresses they just put them on the payroll. Now every one can get into the same game. What a Sodum and Gamora story.
They didn't do it on the phone like Tripp. There is analysis out there on this.
That gal know the tax law better than most IRS agents!
I don't know the particulars of the law of course. Maybe the law is very specific (i.e. illegal to have a phone tapped if two parties aren't aware of it).
Exactly!! She was knowledeable, practiced, and experienced at how to "skirt" federal law.
We were a Free Democratic Nation, at the time President Obama was sworn into the Office of President. All
things were on a downhill slide after that. His true self and his Agenda began to take shape, with his appointment s, without confirmation. They do not answer to anyone but him. They have unknown powers, to shape the future of our country. The Citizens who voted for him did not have any idea what they were voting for,
and the Agenda that he wwould bring with him. The Socialist Agenda was what he had in mind.
Going farther, a bill was introduced scrapping the term limit policy. Second thing they did was introduce a bill, Government Gun Control. Third thing, Form and fund a Civilian Army. What Purpose would this serve. fourth, pass and fund a bill concerning bringing Gaza refugees into America.(Housing and Expences Provided) How
mant Hamas individuals included? (Army?) Why do we stay asleep. No Birth Certificate (Impeach) Problem solved.
I am encouraged by the posts here. At least some folks see through this horribly corrupt administration.
wake up American Journalists. stop the love affair and start reporting the corruption in our precious congress, senate, and present presidential administration.
You really expect the main stream media to report this?
go away
I understand what you are saying. I am a 30 year service Veteran.USAF Is freedom of speech being violated. Thank you.
The "Expert" kind of looks like Oprah. Despite her obvious shortcommings, she is very street-wise.
–Maybe she can start her own talk show. –Even put a boy in the White House.
if you keep going after ACOrN , they'll just scatter like cockroaches, then go to work for another arm! Leg by leg, Arm by arm – people…keep it coming! By the time we get to the head of all this, DC will be empty (both sides of the aisle)!!!!!
I was downright disgusted with ACORN. What does this say about our government? It says our government is corrupt! It is time we as American citizens speak out and end this corruption. I do not want my tax dollars going to ACORN and want the government to know. Enough is enough. Maybe the other " news" station will say something about this. I say vote out all who are in office that do not stand up for the middle class. America sure isn't what it use to be!
Wow, don't you guys have something better to do than pick on people less fortunate than you? Does this somehow restore your bruised "egos"?
More like they got caught.
Don't worry. I'm almost certain that Keith Ovaries and Rachel Madcow will find a way to blame Bush.
Will the acorn 8 become the acorn 10? Spill the beans ladies……
Hi Truth,
Here are some more Patriots…….

Good Grief, previous Guest….Picking on Criminals advising other "criminals"….what part don't you get….ACORN is a Criminal Enterprise….the reason those two got fired was not because they are crooks, but that they didn't check out the couple that came to them telling them that they had been turned down for a home loan because she was a prostitute….and to check & see if they were recording the session……
They all need to be in the Chain Gang…….bums, layabouts & schmucks….all of them…..
the Ogre
More like typical employees of ACORN it seems.
Well Not meeting policy standardsof professional in their organization, when did this place EVER have any good standards. Yeah Right and I have a bridge I would like to sell you. I believe that like I believe Obama has credible good people in his administration..NOT!! The only reason these 2 employees were fired is because the pressure was put on by the non mainstream media, Nice job to the brave two that footed this investigation with their own money and Fox News, Matt Drudge and Brietbart and Big Government for giving us the truth once again about this corrupt organization, These 2 employees need to be prosecuted and the 2 that did the undercover work be given a medal.
That's where he got the 25 different social security numbers
Geeze! *&&#$%*((()~!! Dirty words, dirty words!!!!! aren't we just about kicked in the teeth one too many times! WTH is going on that they don't listen to the voice of the people. These people are the lowest of low!! Look at them -what do you see?? And are we going to let people like that take away the rights of American citizens???? NNNNOOOOOO!!!
I don't think so!!!!! We will expose them! Every one of them!
Bring it on!!!
Toodles..Suzie
wait. is he using the WH as his *own* ho house?! SECURITY!
These two "fired" employees of Acorn will probably end up at another office. Someone needs to keep track of where they pop up again. Probably giving out the same good info……
Pat B
Yes…just like the whining democrats and yourself do if they don't get their way!
We can all sit around talking about how discusting these people are but…… How many of you have been writing your senator or congressman or the White House. Make sure you all get involved! If not we could be watching these type people dictate the rest of our lives! We have to work together as one.
I think that means that they got caught.
Give Obama and his Acorn group enough time and they will have turned our country into a nation of
corruption and civil chaos on par with the continent of his father and forefathers. This is not what
our brave servicemen and women are fighting for and defending with their lives! Wake up, America,
before it is too late!!
check out this website tenuecorrupt.com
I love what you are doing to catch these nominds at ACORN!!!!! Bravo and thanks to the two reporters that got the great videos of them. I hope they not only be fired but I hope a full investigation will be in order!!!!! This is insane!!!!Thanks for the great work you are doing and I hope you continue to catch them in the act. Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!
tenurecorrupt.com Sorry my r sticks!
While ACORN claims they fired the two women I would suggest that this is not the end of the story. The career paths of these two women needs to be followed to determined whether another of Radke's organizations has hired them.
