BALTIMORE - The group ACORN has fired two employees who were seen on hidden-camera video giving tax advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman who pretended to be a prostitute.

Fox News Channel broadcast excerpts from the video Thursday. On the video, a man and woman visiting ACORN's Baltimore office asked about buying a house and how to account on tax forms for the woman's income. An ACORN employee advised the woman to list her occupation as "performance artist."

The pair also claimed they planned to employ teenage girls from central America as prostitutes, and an ACORN employee suggested that up to three of the girls could be claimed as dependents, according to transcripts of the video posted online by conservative activist James O'Keefe.

O'Keefe told Fox he posed as the pimp and that he was shocked by the ACORN employees' helpfulness.

In a statement, ACORN Maryland board member Margaret Williams said the video was an attempt to smear ACORN, and that undercover teams attempted similar setups in at least three other ACORN offices.

Williams said no tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided.
And they did it again!!!!!!!!!!

One day after two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired for offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes, another secretly shot videotape has surfaced that shows the same couple getting similar advice from ACORN officers in Washington.

The newly released videotape, shot on July 25, shows ACORN staffers explaining to the pair how they can hide the woman's professed work — prostitution — and get a loan that will help them establish a brothel.
Yea, but when you bring up this to people like Captian Jack -- they say it's a lie and that it was a setup and the man in the video worked for FoxNews...um it doesn't matter what news station you work for -- the guy got the goods on these people. How many investigations are going on with them already? This group needs to be shut down. We wonder why the federal systems get manipulated and abused -- THESE PEOPLE TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT!!!! These are the very people -- the very group -- that will tell illegal immigrants how to qualify and get health care and no one will stop them...the bill doens't have any language in it to keep it from happening -- and groups like this know it and it's done that way for a reason -- to be able to work around the system...
