good lord! There are so many things wrong with that, I don’t know where to start!

Theres the Tu Quoque of course…

Then there’s the false equivalence, (Compare the crimes Halliburton and especially Blackwater have been accused of compared to what Acorn has been accused of)

Then theres the general apples and oranges issue of comparing a social work group with freaking government contractors.

ACORN is (or at least has been) a government contractor as well. However, Haliburton at least provides useful services, ACORN actions, in my mind, are primarily counter productive.
