New ACORN video: The San Diego sting
posted at 9:49 pm on September 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
I’ve been waiting 45 minutes for Big Government to post the new clip but it looks like this is the best we’ll do for now. Fifty-eight seconds long and it looks like we’ve got (a) a conspiracy to smuggle underaged sex slaves across the border and (b) a kinda sorta proposition to Hannah Giles. Full clip to come, if/when it’s posted.
You’re all modern-day McCarthyites for watching this. You know that, right?

Reveling in my racism.

So a ho and a pimp walk into my office
I likey the ho
ho hohohohohohohohoho
macncheez on September 16, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Your racist lies burn my eyes Allah. ACORN is for the people.
blankminde on September 16, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Well he does bring up a good question. How much DOES she charge?
thphilli on September 16, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Well, propositioning Hannah is the first sane thing I have seen ACORN do.
I do not recall McCarthy looking so good, but maybe it was the b/w back then.
Mr. Joe on September 16, 2009 at 9:52 PM
But, but, but, I thought they were turned away from San Diego!!!
Enoxo on September 16, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Well can’t knock the guy for being a Marxist can we? Maybe ACORN lured him away from the Gambinos by promising extended healthcare benefits?
elduende on September 16, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Hmmm, this one is less convincing to me based on the clip (haven’t seen the full thing). He doesn’t seem interested in helping them smuggle 13 year old girls–he changes the subject quickly when they mention that. And the other guy really could be intrigued and curious what she charges.
Clearly, though, they aren’t bothered by the idea of helping set up brothel or smuggle people across border.
DaveS on September 16, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Well she cost ACORN about 8 trillion dollars and counting
William Amos on September 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
All these videos are great but I have one question: How did they do this on a 1300 dollar budget? They are going all over the country.
Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
All I can say is….
WHOOP! WHOOP!
Take’em down Hannah and James!! (And Andrew!)
tickleddragon on September 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
May be time to get in the torch and pitchforks business.
Meric1837 on September 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
And now they’re bringing in the border security angle.
Crikey dude, if you feed me any more red meat I’m gonna have a cardiac.
Purple Fury on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Pop. Corn.
patriette on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
America is going communist. Most of the MSM is rulled by usefull idiots McCarhysm, the hero of people country that lives and lived under communism is more vilified than Acorn. WTF is wrong with your country? Where will Cubans run for freedom?
costin on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
BTW, Breitbart says that there will be no more clips for a while… the clips exist he says but he wants things to digest… I think he wants to see where this is leading before he shows what cards he has left… how this “investigation” will play out…
He also said that no ACORN office turned him away for the reasons you would think they would be turned away… prostitution, child trafficking… I know the Philadelphia ACORN office called the police on them for being a “disturbance” or something so I would be really interested in seeing that video…
ninjapirate on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Giles/O’Keefe. Note it.
Patrick Ishmael on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
The ACORN guy should go to Hollywood, because he looks so natural as he purposely plays along with the two “actors”.
Bishop on September 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM
human trafficing, prostitution, tax evasion, getting rid of unwanted husbands, at ACORN, we’re here to help.
exceller on September 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM
sorry for the mistakes http://hotair.com/archives/2009/09/16/new-acorn-video-the-san-diego-sting/comment-page-1/#comment-2719271 , but your country is going to hell
costin on September 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Unfortunately…
… This is only part of the nightmare that we have been trying to fight in San Diego, and all over Southern CA for decades.
Pay close attention to the prostitution in the camps…
… If it takes ACORN corruption to open everyone eyes,
then so be it…
Seven Percent Solution on September 16, 2009 at 9:56 PM
But they will be better off here as sex slaves than there as sex slaves. We’re so much nicer to our sex slaves.
RACISTS
stenwin77 on September 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
This is OT and I humbly apologize, but where I am there is no TV and sloooow video download.
But I just clicked over to Little Red Footballs and I had to quote this komment:
RushBaby on September 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Is this dude gonna plead the “I was skeered” defense like Tresa Whateverhernameis from San Bernardino? I think not.
The Drano drip is getting turned up a bit on the arm of the White House and ACORN tonight—OHHHHhhh the Paaaainn!
ted c on September 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Ive been waiting also! It look’s like we’ve gotten the full works San Diego: soliciting prostitution, underground illegal alien trafficking, underage prostituion trafficking & illegal border crossing. This is the heart of OBAMA’s community organizing roots. The Liberal Media isn;t going to report and DEMOCRATs are not going to break ties because this is their entire voting base whether its: NAMBLA, eco-terrorists who vandalize logging businesses , gay activists who burn Mormon churches, domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers, convicted murderers like Tookie WIlliams, radical Islamic Terrorists at GITMO, Illegal Mexican Drug dealers etc.
TheRightWingM on September 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Was it in the form of a sonnet?
Mark1971 on September 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Its a short clip. I hope if they’re going to keep posting these they keep getting better and not worse. Expectations are building with each new release and it would be a shame if they started to fizzle and couldn’t live up to the expectations..
They might want to consider quitting while they are ahead.
JellyToast on September 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Ow Gawd, I heard hannity say that today… ACORN gets about 40% of their money from the government IIRC… and it’s only about 53million + whatever is hidden in block grants and what not… it’s not all that much in the grand scheme of things but their partisanship, aggressiveness, and incompetence is what makes this an issue…
ninjapirate on September 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
What I saw very clearly showed him saying he had contacts across the border to help bring a girl across. He only hesitated when they told him it was 13 girls.
tickleddragon on September 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
This just makes me ill. And I seriously fear for Giles and O’Keefe. What they’re doing is the equivalent of taking on the Mob back in their hayday. That’s what ACORN is, it’s a modern day Mob.
4shoes on September 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Is there an explanation for the date on the film? These were not filmed in 2005 were they?
alesian_siege on September 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Nah, I’m a RACIST BIGOT! According to the learned Jimmah Carter.
The ‘race card’ is already blowing up in their faces. “Mobs”, “Terrorists”, “Confused”, “Nazis” didn’t work, neither has the race card. Looking forward to what we’ll be next week.
GarandFan on September 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Old Joe would be proud of me right now.
Fletch54 on September 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
You know, these are becoming almost too embarrassing to watch.
misslizzi on September 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
ninjapirate on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
dude you nailed it. Breitbart has more cards in his hands and I think his hand is deep. He can play ACORN like a fiddle and I think this will now boil over the next few days with a life of its own. There’ll be statements, interviews and more little stories here and there. They’ve played this hand masterfully!
ted c on September 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Just remember, these are only the actions of “a few” rogue employees.
1 office? Probably rogue
2 Offices? Still probably rogue. It’s a large organization, I’ll give the benefit of the doubt.
3 Offices? Hmmmmm.
4 Offices? Hold on now….
5 Offices? As Beck would say…. “Really?”
To say nothing of how they hint there might be more on Sean. Corrupt beyond belief, I’d say. Probably cause they hire certain types of people whom aren’t afraid to bend *coughBREAKcough* any rule they need to in the pursuit of their mission goals.
ExSubNuke on September 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Andrew Breitbart was on Hannity and sort of implied that there might be more videos, but for now he is letting the MSM catch up & digest it all. Hmmmmm
Loved how Michelle Malkin hammered the NYT
redridinghood on September 16, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Thats funny as I got banned from LGF for posting a andrew sullivan love note to Charles for attacking Glenn Beck.
William Amos on September 16, 2009 at 10:00 PM
COI gets the cash, then?
Still pimpin and a hornswagglin.
Maybe someone should go through their budget line by line, with a scalpel.
roscopico on September 16, 2009 at 10:00 PM
ninjapirate on September 16, 2009 at 9:55 PM
oh yeah, Breitbart is going to wait out ACORN and their 3 month audit, and THEN come forward with more tapes of ore offices and more people they didnt fire in their big audit, lol
ginaswo on September 16, 2009 at 10:00 PM
This is just insane. Andrew is right…I need some time to digest this and try to wrap my brain around it. The fun part will be watching the SRM spin the hell out of it.
Looking forward to Gibbs’ presser tomorrow.
milwife88 on September 16, 2009 at 10:01 PM
No, see they meant to say they got turned down by Hannah in San Diego.
TheBigOldDog on September 16, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Dude–there is totally artillery rounds and warheads landing on some heads tonight… the schadenfraude is just too good. You couldn’t write this any better. Breitbart is masterful and Giles and O’Keefe need a superhero comic strip. Captain and Mrs. America are back…
ted c on September 16, 2009 at 10:01 PM
alesian_siege on September 16, 2009 at 9:58 PM
he explained at one point that the camcorder automatically says 2005 and he didnt want to mess with it…
ginaswo on September 16, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Ohh! he’s really making them hurt so good ain’t he.
Reminds me of a John Cougar song…
ted c on September 16, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Keep ‘em comin’, folks.
Lanceman on September 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Are those ACORNS in your pants or are you just glad to squeeze me?
izoneguy on September 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
I don’t know, but I want them on the budget committee!
JusDreamin on September 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
BTW, they can use their political clout to pressure banks… and if ACORN doesn’t get all that much money you have to realize that all these leftists groups are rather incestuous… just look at who is on the boards and who are the advisers… it’ll be hard to track down what deals are made and for what reason…
ninjapirate on September 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
When the moonlight hit the stubble on Tailgunner Joe’s jowls just right — it was magic.
Terry_Dyne on September 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
I guess this connects to the Citibank giving sub-prime mortgages to ACORN illegals … Michelle was talking about this on Hannity tonight.
But they are just playing along, but why would they do that? Police front, ACORN is now a police front … LOL
tarpon on September 16, 2009 at 10:03 PM
It is really sad over there. The suck-ups sucking up. Everyone else afraid to voice their opinion. Making a game of waiting for the next flounce. Pathetic.
oceansidecon on September 16, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I got banned today for disproving Chuckie on GB and the size of the 9/12 crowd. When you are crazy as Chuckles is, its not hard to disprove him.
The best part is when I called them out and said, “sorry for not following LGF doctrine.” Oh man, did that get under their skin. It was great.
Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 10:04 PM
He looks scared sh*tless.
The Ugly American on September 16, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I know it’s hard to keep track of all those zeros.

Yep. And the Libs will be singing the song of a fellow Lib, Linda Ronstadt: Y’know, It Hurts So Bad…
kingsjester on September 16, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I’m getting the feeling Congress will have to raise the debt ceiling to investigate ACORN.
On the bright side, Slo Joe finally will be able to say Obama created some jobs … by about 5,000 FBI agents … and not be lying.
Dusty on September 16, 2009 at 10:05 PM
And then get them in the witness protection program, stat.
Purple Fury on September 16, 2009 at 10:05 PM
They’re fiscal conservatives.
yogi41 on September 16, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Bless Michelle I sent her that info on twitter just before the show Im glad it got out there
William Amos on September 16, 2009 at 10:06 PM
human trafficing, prostitution, tax evasion, getting rid of unwanted husbands, at ACORN, we’re here to help.

Is there any law that this organization will not break?
nyx on September 16, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Greta’s playing the video now.
kingsjester on September 16, 2009 at 10:07 PM
ACORN has Obama and the Chicago way written all over it.
He trained them well.
seven on September 16, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I’m very proud of myself
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/showc/180/7705125
The saddest part of the whole thing is that he was stalking my comments and dinging down pretty much every comment I posted.
Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Ken Blackwell ( a black guy) said funds ought to be frozen and this should be investigated, it’s an organization ‘mired in fraud’
ted c on September 16, 2009 at 10:08 PM
To the extreme I guess.
Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I was hoping she would show a bit more. Expand on what was shown on Hannity. This one looks too incomplete.

ACORN Employee Juan Carlos in SanDiego offers to smuggle sex girls across Mexio border. Says has “contacts” in Mexico, vid being produced.
ninjapirate on September 16, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I bet all the offices they contacted assured the Home Office that they turned the pair away. They have no idea what to believe at this point I bet.
TheBigOldDog on September 16, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Didn’t he say he knew guys?? As implied that he knows about smuggling illegal aliens into the US.
RICO, Federal Racketeering???
The Feds and all State AG’s need to get busy….
This goes beyond just stripping Federal Funds.
We need to set-up the ACORN prison.
Maybe we can send them to GITMO???
BAAAAHHHHHHWWWWW!!!!!

I am waiting for the perfect moment to get banned over there (diff screen name, of course)
The headlines scream “crazy”. What a shame. If Hot Air ever goes that route, I’m getting out waaaay early. Thank goodness our bloggers have a tenacious hold on

Durn right-wing smear machine!
hillbillyjim on September 16, 2009 at 10:09 PM
So long as we can get Obamacare coverage for those underage prostitutes once they’re smuggled into the country. C’mon, do it
withfor the children!cackcon on September 16, 2009 at 10:09 PM
The sex slave industry is real. If that San Diego ACORN dude is telling the truth about connections, bust him!
I hate how the MSM ignores the border town issues. The MSM has a really long ignore list. Kind of like my Facebook block list.
tuffy on September 16, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Yeah, that’s what I said… he clearly had no problem with helping smuggle people, but he definitely balked at smuggling 13-yr-old girls for sex. And I’m not convinced that it is fair to say that the other guy solicited Hannah… but, again, I haven’t seen the full video.
DaveS on September 16, 2009 at 10:09 PM
The saddest part is that this is the country we live in. These bastards don’t give a 5#17 about the poor girls to be sold into slavery. Ugh.
ronsfi on September 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM
I’m a mccarthite all right, but i’m really just looking for hannah a bit more!
ted c on September 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Good for you! It has gotten very weird over there. The spy crap. The dinging. Its creepy.
oceansidecon on September 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Better Dead than Red.
malclave on September 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM
I’m sorry, but was anyone else underwhelmed by Hannity’s presentation of this new video? A word of advice to Andrew Breitbart, have Glenn Beck present the videos.
Glenn would have focused on the disgusting nature of these videos with feeling and give it the importance it merits. He’s great on TV.
For Hannity, it was just another segment for him to present and read off the teleprompter.
cubachi on September 16, 2009 at 10:10 PM
The question that’s on everyone’s lips: Are Giles and O’Keefe plooking each other?
Sharke on September 16, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I felt that way from that very first tape. This is more than I want to know about these “do-gooders”.
petunia on September 16, 2009 at 10:11 PM
All these videos are great but I have one question: How did they do this on a 1300 dollar budget? They are going all over the country.
Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
I heard it was 3k, but still an interesting question. Built up “miles?”
Archimedes on September 16, 2009 at 10:11 PM
An interesting thing is Bill O’Riley said that Louisiana authorities have subpoenaed Wade Rathke regarding ACORN.
Enoxo on September 16, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Me, as an Easter European having have lived in one of the most cruel communist regimes in the world, The Socialist Republic of Romania, I say that your president is a hidden communist and the your MSM is reulled by communists. Please, look up Yuri Bezmenov: http://patrupedbun.net/spielberg-in-dialog-cu-iuri-bezmenov/
This is an ex propaganda agent in the US, a guy that should be one of the most know figures of all times in USA. He was predicting Obama in 1985. Look at the interview and share it.
This guy shoudl be thought in schools all across America!
YURI BEZMENOV

Somebody call the president and congress. Here’s some more waste and fraud they can use to pay for health care. Pretty soon we’ll find so much waste and fraud we could get a tax cut. Nahhh, just kidding about the tax cut.

Yep, Glenn would have been much better at this. Hannity just wanted the viewers, Glenn is catching up to him as a very fast pace.
milwife88 on September 16, 2009 at 10:13 PM
It. Just. Keeps. Getting. Better.
schafkopf on September 16, 2009 at 10:13 PM
This one was filmed August 15 2005?

Agreed, Hannity was terrible… but it would have been early for the San Diego crowd…

These kids are risking their lives,and you want a feature length movie?
