In Baltimore, ACORN staff told Giles if she makes $96,000 a year selling sex, she should tell the government she only makes $9,600. Her occupation, meanwhile, should be reported as "performing artist."...I have been reticent to attack President Obama's character, hoping and believing that while I disagreed entirely with the direction he wanted to take the country that he was still basically a decent guy. But recent revelations are giving me an awfully uneasy feeling. Obama's ties to ACORN go back 20 years. To think he was blind to their methods means, like the Jeremiah Wright issue, we have to assume he only knew about the good stuff and was absent anytime something controversial came up. It stretches credibility to fall for that defense twice.
O'Keefe notes that they want a house for 13 underage girls who will be imported from El Salvador to work as prostitutes. Only three - not all 13 - of the girls can be listed as dependents, ACORN prudently advises. And so long as they are under 16, they will make O'Keefe and his partner eligible for the child tax credit....
In Washington, D.C., O'Keefe and Giles were told they could lie in their loan application for the house. "We are looking out for you," an ACORN staffer said, reassuringly.
In Brooklyn, Giles was told to identify herself in loan documents as a "freelancer" and to bury cash proceeds of her work in the backyard. Imagine what tax advice John Dillinger might have gotten had he ever consulted ACORN.
Oh well, McCain warned us.
