Glen Greenwald has an excellent article sourced with numerous links that explains why wingnuts are so hysterical about ACORN.

It's INdefensible. The organization is permeated with corruption, and the left makes excuses and wants us to think that just because they can name someone somewhere (a republican, of chourse) who also did something unsavory, then this is OK.

Little wonder Liberals, Leftists, and many Dems are deservedly slammed.

Their contempt for America and taxpayers is increasingly apparent to citizens. Not only do they demand unending access to our pocketbooks....they become indignant that Leaders and citizens would question the continued funding of transparently corrupt and highly partisan scoundrels.

'Standard operating procedure' for the party of Taxes, blame America, entitlements, huge Government, political correctness, and Socialistic propensity.

ACORN is squeaky clean in comparison....

Nice try. Attacking the accuser isn't working so well these days. It's on tape.

Offensive to uptown white sensibilities? Underage prostitutes should offend EVERYONE. The fact that it doesn't, speaks volumes about the morals of the the left.

Why don't you read the link by Glenn Greenwald and finally find out how bad you are being PLAYED by right wing propaganda?

I encourage everyone who bashes ACORN just to reflect on your sense of proportion?

Excellent? The article is a bunch of nonsense. The most retarded statement: while ignoring, and even revering, the outright pillaging by virtually omnipotent corporate interests.

You believe that? Way to run off with generalities and stereotypes, shows your intellectual acumen.

It's interesting that some people just simply cannot condemn the organization as corrupt.

They may be members of the organization, or related to members. That would explain a lot. Or, maybe it's just that Obama's ties to it are so strong that to condemn the organization would taint the President, and they're too loyal to do that.
