Please note that I said: "lending practices ACORN advocated" damaged the world economy, not "ACORN pulled down the world economy." The policies to which I refer are the laws, among which the CRA is one, which encouraged the development of the "sub-prime" lending market and its' associated sale of bundled loans, the collapse of which has so damaged the global economy over the past few weeks.

I direct your attention to the recent incidents in Nevada, in which ACORN registration volunteers not only signed up pets, resterants, and the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys, but were also accused by at least two people of trying to register them to vote fifteen or more times, aggressively in both cases.

I apologize. My prejudices in this matter ran away with me for a moment. I cannot recall any specific instances of ACORN initiating a frivolous lawsuit, so consider my comment in that part retracted until and unless I can discover some proof.
