New Orleans Adult Entertainment: Tax trouble for ACORN
September 25, 2009
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has been in boiling water lately for far sexier charges. Conservative filmmakers James O’Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, posed, respectively, as a pimp and prostitute. Then, on hidden camera, they captured ACORN staffers from Brooklyn to Baltimore to San Bernardino advising them how to open a brothel and staff it with smuggled, underage illegal aliens. (The culprits on ACORN’s staff have been sacked.) Evidence that ACORN ignored its tax obligations may be less exciting than bordellos and voter-registration fraud, for the latter of which some ACORN workers have been convicted. However, these tax documents show that ACORN is not just rotten at its eastern and western edges. The group’s lawlessness begins at its Big Easy national headquarters. (Oddly enough, ACORN also counts New York and Washington, D.C. among its three HQs.)
