re: #527 Throbert McGee

What I saw in the videos was not ACORN aiding and abetting child prostitution, but employees of ACORN who lacked the training and experience to deal with off-the-wall questions, and therefore just chose to wing it (badly). Which means that they’re not very good management material, but that doesn’t mean ACORN at the institutional level tends to facilitate child prostitution.

In Reverse order:

…that doesn’t mean ACORN at the institutional level tends to facilitate child prostitution.

It doesn’t have to. What we have seen so far a far more than enough, because:

employees of ACORN who lacked the training and experience to deal with off-the-wall questions

The whole point of having a federally-funded organization with points of presence in shall we say “troubled” neighborhoods is to provide trained and experienced personnel to deal with off-the-wall questions. Instead, we see case after case of:

ACORN aiding and abetting [presumed] child prostitution

.
ACORN, especially the Housing side, exists solely to provide a service that instead is being used against the people in the neighborhoods and the government.
