Acorn: Big Pimpin’

Sunday Paper - September 13th, 2009

Sowing the Seeds

It looks like the tide is finally turning on ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now! With the release of the video — I’m sorry, videos — of ACORN employees helping a self-confessed pimp and prostitute plan to set up a bordello of underage illegal alien sex slaves, it might be the final straw as ACORN (or, as they desperately tried to rebrand themselves, “COI” or “Community Organizers International”) finds itself just a wee bit too tainted for some of their staunchest supporters.

When the first video came out, my initial analysis would be that it would be no big deal. Such tactics have been used against Planned Parenthood, when an actress pretending to be an underage girl would confess to being pregnant by a much-older man — and, instead of obeying state laws requiring that the statutory rape to the authorities, they conspired to plan the girl’s abortion so that the police or her parents would never know about it.

In that case, it didn’t do a damned thing. For the critics of Planned Parenthood, this was just more affirmation that their opposition was justified. For the supporters, this was just one (or two… or three… or seven…) “bad apples” who let their compassion for the victim before them overwhelm their obligation under the law and their better judgment. In the end, no minds were really changed.

I thought the same principle would hold for the ACORN videos. What I apparently didn’t take into account was what I believe was a key element here — the utterly unsympathetic nature of the actors’ characters.

With Planned Parenthood, the people caught breaking the law on tape could say they were acting to help a terrified underage pregnant girl. With ACORN, though, the people they thought were helping were utterly despicable — a prostitute and a pimp with political ambitions, who planned to set up a brothel and bring in underage girls from Latin America to work in it…

Media Ignore ACORN Giving Business Advice to Pimp and Prostitute

You would think videos exposing representatives of the controversial organization ACORN giving advice on how a couple can get a loan to set up a brothel would be BIG NEWS.

Such would seem especially the case if the proposed house of ill repute would be employing minors illegally smuggled across the border from Central America.

Yet, when Andrew Breitbart’s new website Big Government published such videos Thursday morning, media normally fascinated with sex stories almost completely ignored it…
