FROM LITTLE ACORNS GROW - AT 3:21 P.M. ET:  The GOP is going after ACORN.  It's about time.  From Fox:

A growing number of Republican lawmakers are calling for congressional hearings and IRS audits of ACORN following the release of three videotapes that show the group's employees offering advice to a "pimp" and a "prostitute" on how to skirt the law.

Rep. Steve King, R-IA, said a video released Monday that shows filmmaker James O'Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, getting advice from ACORN employees in Brooklyn, N.Y., on how to launder their earnings and avoid detection while running a prostitution business is "another reason to turn it up" on ACORN.

Four ACORN employees -- two in Baltimore and two in Washington -- were fired late last week after videos showed the "pimp" and "prostitute" getting similar advice in those cities. In those videos, O'Keefe and Giles told the ACORN workers that they intended to bring underage girls into the country to work as prostitutes.

COMMENT:  The idea is not to limit this to ACORN, but to link that group to the Obama White House and the Democratic Party.  ACORN has received millions of federal dollars because of Democratic efforts.  Show the American people the extent of the corruption, the collusion.  And name names.
