Critics grow in light of ACORN video

    WASHINGTON (AP) - The chorus of critics is building as ACORN launches its own probe of a hidden-camera interview in which employees counsel a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute on how to get housing assistance.
    Republicans already claim the group committed voter fraud in 2008 and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is asking the California attorney general to investigate the group’s activities in his state, where the video was shot.
    In addition, the U.S. Senate has voted to block HUD grants to ACORN and the Census Bureau severed its deal to have the group take part in next year’s population count.
