If you look back in time, you will note that attacks against ACORN are always initiated by RIGHT WING interests groups. You will, also, not that Right Wing-led ACORN attacks ALWAYS take place BEFORE a critical national election cycle whether it be presidential or congressional. Why is that?
This post is not meant to condone any ALLEDGED inappropriate behavior by any ACORN representative. If it is proven to be true, but , in the interest of due process, it is important to look at the OVERALL grass roots contributions of that organization. In addition to contributing towards thousands of homes for Katrina victims, saving thousands of Americans from home foreclosures and predatory lenders, and coming to the rescue of thousands of public schools, ACORN has been extremely effective in REGISTERING ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED VOTERS.
Republicans are masters at mobilizing their base by using dirty tricks. However, they know that they CANNOT count on minority and Latino votes in the 2010 midterm elections, particularly after they threw Chief Justice Sotomayor and the President under the bus. Their best bet towards solving that problem is to DECREASE voter registrations. What better way to accomplish that objective then to DEMOLOSH one of the most effective organizations responsible for registering voters?
