The group’s reputation, such as it was, went into the tank earlier this month with the public release of undercover videos showing employees of ACORN offices in Baltimore and other cities giving tax and mortgage loan advice to James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, two young conservative activists posing as a pimp and a hooker, on how to legally open a brothel housing fictional underage illegal immigrant prostitutes from El Salvador. The undercover sting (see video) has proven enormously embarrassing to the entire ACORN organization, so much so that even partisan Democrats on Capitol Hill such as Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., now want little to do with the group. ACORN, rather than own up to its flouting of the law, responded yesterday by announcing it had filed a lawsuit in Maryland district court in Baltimore against Mr. O’Keefe (among other parties), and would file a similar action in California next week.
