"Acorn Prostitution Rings"?! Did you watch the report? There was no prostitution ring! It was a lie, a made up story, a fiction invented by the video makers and the kids who made the video admit that. There were no prostitutes, there were no pimps. Only costumed video punksters.

If it's real, why do we only get to see a few chosen edited moments? Why can't we see the un-edited video?

Do you want to shut down the Red Cross? They have had far bigger and more criminal scams than any group.

[FixedNewsChannel]

Calm down.

I agree it was BS. The title camde directly from CNN.

[rich4444hrsm]

Wait, there's more!

"one of the workers"... yeah, one of them that isn't shown in the video tape...

Both workers fired!? THAT's RACIST! It is because they were african american, wasn't it!!

2:34~ "specific guidelines" wasn't followed? Laundering money for child prostituion is "not following" guidelines?

"Have not yet called us back" ~ did you leave a return number or try twice?

WHOA... DC workers fired as well? Wait, these are doctored tapes man!

Hi, billy mays here.

[jeffmagic32]

Crowley is just so darn angry that she and her pals can't totally control the flow of information thanks to that no good internet.

[Garlannd]

1. They were real employees of ACORN.

2. Just because they were pretending doesn't make it any different. If I came to your house and said Hi im a child rapist can i take your kids to a theme park? Would you? Even though I was just pretending?

[thosecomputerguysnj]

Substantiate. Source your claims. if not it's just very obviously partisan rhetoric.

[kdj0172]

so the response is "yeah, any political activist can show up with a camera, so groups like Acorn should really watch what they say".... Holy crap woman... How about acknowledging the fact that these offices are supporting horrible and unlawful practices. Your advice to them is to "watch what you say, someone might have a camera"? What is wrong with you...

[vpassenheim]

Candy Crowley,

What this means is that you, as a reporter, are NOT DOING YOUR JOB - keeping us citizens abreast of misuse of public funds.

Have you ever heard of a citizen's arrest?

You are a disgrace to your profession.

[EESASTORM]

You prefer of course to ENSLAVE those who produce so the low lifes can feed off them.

Disgusting.................

[Garlannd]

It is unfortunate this is the hypocritical world we live in. I agree cutting all funding is a bit extreme ACORN originally did do a lot of good. I think if anything a third party should monitor them.

War is unfortunately a huge commodity in the current economy. PMCs are a very disturbing trend and I think there really needs to be a whole lot of regulations and laws slammed against them.

[UCSanPano]

Its hard to believe the blatant hypocrisy of people here freaking out about this apparent case of detestable verbal endorsement of fictional prostitution, while real kids are being forced to suck adult penises for $1 apiece under the direct supervision of the president of Blackwater, a US contractor getting billions in US tax dollars.

While you all scream about ACORN, real kids are being abused now by real sex slave rings under US contractors.

ACORNS funding is cut off, Blackwater/XE's hasn't

[UCSanPano]

I condemn both, and so do the majority of commenters here.

The congress has now cut off 100% of all federal funding to ACORN before any investigation has been done. The states involved are investigating the imaginary prostitution case as are the feds.

So now is it ok to let the courts do their work and start changing the subject to contractors getting much more tax dollars who are enslaving real kids for sex?

How long should the real child sex slaves under XE/Blackwater wait for justice?

[Garlannd]

No, but should we let either slide? Both should be dealt with. As far as I am concerned PMCS should be outlawed in the US.

ACORN should also be punished as well. Just because someone was playing pretend and you go along wiithout knowing they're playing pretend doesn't make it right.

Stop trying to change the subject away from the fact what some of the staff of ACORN did was horribly wrong.

[UCSanPano]

Do I understand correctly that you are endorsing the real live actual factual child sex rings run by KBR and Blackwater/XE with billions in taxpayer contract dollars?

Are you saying it's more important to go after those who seem to be endorsing imaginary made up stories of child prostitution and we should shut them down before we deal with the actual real world child sex slavery conducted by the president of Blackwater? Why?

Perhaps because Blackwater and KBR are Republican and ACORN is Dem?

[UCSanPano]

Hey, I hereby decry the actions that appear to be portrayed in these video clips, heavily edited though they are, the words depicted are reprehensible.

Now why won't you decry the actual human child sex slave rings run by Republican linked gov't contractors such as KBR and XE/Blackwater? Not imaginary made up child sex slaves, real ones!

When real children are forced to give $1 bj's to the buddies of the president of Blackwater, sponsored by billions of tax dollars, not millions like ACORN.
