There is absolutely nothing that I have seen to suggest any institutional policies that go beyond poorly trained or renegade employees, making ACORN guilty of sloppy and incompetent management that absolutely needs to be corrected or replaced ASAP....not just firing the employees who participated.
The Republicans in Congress will demand hearings...the right wing blogs will have a field day or week or two.
And Acorn's constituency, low income minorities, will see Beck/Limbaugh/Republicans as the enemy behind this incident, and rally behind ACORN.

How ever factions rationalize the outcome, ACORN will only have it's own deeds and actions to blame. This is some really seedy behavior conducted at the expence of the tax payer and those who really need legitimate assistance. ACORN seems less interested in cleaning up their own act, instead they claim foul or racism. The people of ACORN are the ones being exploited and thrown under the bus by their own leadership at the top... mostly rich white guys getting richer by the minute. ACORN is a shell game that will resurface under one of their hundreds of shell corporations. Leaving the disposable army of worker bees to take the fall... these are the people that should be pissed at the corruption of an institution now wrapped in phony compassion. They're back on the plantation and don't even know it.
