re: #29 Charles

This is another area where I have to seriously part ways with the right wing. The obsessive demonization of ACORN is way, way beyond what the facts warrant. ACORN has been made into an all-purpose right-wing boogeyman. While they may have problems, they’ve also done a lot of good for people in minority neighborhoods.

Commence screaming now.

Freaking out about ACORN is partially dog-whistle racism, partially a Republican strategy to attack an advocacy/lobbying group that supports Democrats, and partially just MY TEAM HATES ACORN I HATE ACORN

Boom!
