The Lyrics

The mainstream media has again failed to even mention a peculiar happening in the Baltimore and D.C. offices of ACORN. An independent film maker and his assistant entered the ACORN offices posing as a prostitute and her pimp. They received free helpful advice on dodging taxes, securing housing, and even concealing underage illegal aliens from El Salvador who would be working in the brothel. Now, Census Director Robert Groves has sent ACORN a letter severing all ties between ACORN and the Census Bureau. I bet most of America is asking a single question..."Why?" ;D






ACORN in Baltimore and D.C. were not acting nice
To undercover "pimps" and "whores" they gave out free advice
On dodging taxes, getting housing, covering up the spice
And this time they got caught

ACORN - Obama's foot soldiers
Couldn't have been one bit bolder
Now it's landed on their shoulder
'Cause this time they got caught

They coded her "performing artist" rather than a whore
They told her how to dodge the taxes, then they told her more
Like hiding underage sex workers from El Salvador
But this time they got caught

And although this tale is gory
Media ignored the story
ACORN is Obama's glory
Yet this time they got caught

The ACORN bosses quickly gave the underlings the chop
They called the whole affair a "smear" and promised it would stop
We'll never know if this behavior comes down from the top
But this time they got caught


Just what are ACORN's directions?
Still there'll be no mass defections
O. needs them to rig elections
'Though this time they got caught

The Census Bureau dropped ACORN's connections for the shame
But they still get eight billion bucks so they're still in the game
And they'll be kept in place under a brand new wholesome name
But this time they got caught

ACORN will get off and be free
To be subverting this country
Like their mentor Saul Alinsky
Next time will they get caught?









Like Van Jones, ACORN will still be around...just in a stealth mode. ;D

Brilliant OMR! Three stings as of this morning and hopefully more to come. Did you know that the Census Bureau and ACORN share the same office in New Orleans? That's what I've heard. The two brothers who started ACORN were Alinskyites, btw. Here's $555 to hide in a tin can in your back yard!

I was just watching a report showing undercover students approaching ACORN to gain help in purchasing a home to be used for prostitution, and they were showing her the ways around everything. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Read this: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/10/acorn.prostitution/index.html?iref=newssearch

Unbelievable! Great take about ACORN! Whoever thought that they gave free advice to undercover prostitutes and illegal aliens?! What is happening to this world today? Well, I echo all comments above! 555.
