This I agree with, with the exception of the taxpayer part.
The ACORN foundation that receives federal grant has little do with the ACORN politcal advocacy side. If you know anything about non-profit 501 (c)(3)s and 501 (c)(4), there are thousands of non-profits out there that have both like ACORN and structured in a similar manner, with shared facilities, shared administrative services, etc, but with separate staffing and payrolls.

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.

Here is where we part ways.
Despite these ugly incidents, ACORN's voter registration drives have resulted in millions of first-time voters feeling a sense of not being disenfranchised for the first time in their lives....and that is the driving force behind the vilification of ACORN.
I dont know how registering millions of voters is a bad thing, unless perhaps, from some perspectives, these folks are overwhelming likely to vote Democrat.
