Conservative commentators have embraced an FIU
journalism student who participated in ACORN videos.

Hannah Giles' five-year goal -- as declared on an FIU student homepage: ``Rocking life.''

At the moment, she's rocking the world of right-wing media, where the Florida International University sophomore is being called a hero, an inspiration and a patriot.

Her deed: posing as a prostitute in an undercover video that captured workers for the community-organizing group ACORN advising her and a pimped-out friend how to cheat on taxes and loan applications. She's a public-relations major, seeking a ``certificate in Law, Ethics, & Society.''

Since the video became a YouTube sensation last week, ACORN has lost some of its federal funding, delighting Fox News pundits like Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, who have hosted the Aventura 20-year-old on their shows.

She told Beck that ACORN was ``a thug organization getting my tax dollars,'' and that she wants to be a journalist.

1. I'll bet she's never paid a penny in taxes. I think we need to have more infiltrators of College
Republicans and financial advisors.

2. Read the story. Her dad is an anti gay minister, she's home schooled.
The article has a comments section. ;)
