Quote:Acorn is also a partisan group, so to be fair they are an extension of the AFL-CIO, and thereby also a Democrat Party tool. There was a bill introduced into Congress in 2006 (that passed the House) to divert profits from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into Acorn.
True, ACORN does lean democratic in their intent. My point was more related to the media hysteria and how these issues are pushed as political spin completely apart from their validity. Personally i think that the issue of illegally removing voters from the rolls is a much more valid issue related to voter rights compared to the issue with ACORN. I also don't find it a complete coincident that the ACORN problems weren't pushed as a major issue until the story of the illegal voter removals hit.
