What should be done about ACORN?

Honestly, my view is that no special interest group should get money, but I know that's not possible.

In light of the videos were ACORN employees are seemingly offering up tax advice to a couple who will use the house for prostitution and possibly sex slaves. This was not just one office, 3 offices were offering up similar advice. What should happen with ACORN?

Because Jon Stewart me laugh....

This is why there is no better news show than The Daily Show. You actually can learn what's REALLY going on these days.

ACORN=Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. Their mission is different from place to place. Primarily they register people to vote, organize labor unions, help the "needy" get the available public services they might need.
Some call them rabble-rousers others call them saviors. Most of what they do I would say is legal, unfortunately the organization has several crooks from the top to the bottom.
When I saw those videos I was hoping they were spoofs but evidentially not. ACORN director said they were setup and the videos were all BS but if that's the case why did they fire those folks? Would those folks not have a case of wrongful termination.
President Obama was a community organizer and has been credited by some as one of the founders of ACORN. Of the community organizer's I've known this profession appeared to be their choice to keep from getting an honest job. I'm sure others motivations are different.
