I see, so your defense of ACORN is:
1) The workers aren't paid enough.
2) The workers aren't trained enough to know that 13 year-old-sex slaves is an illegal business and should not be funded by federal housing grants.
3) Everybody else is doing it, so why can't ACORN.
4) Felony tax evation and mortgage fraud for the purposes of illegal sex trade operations is petty fraud.
Alrighty then, I can't argue with that. I'm done.

strawman argument. Furthermore, have you even seen the part about the 13 year old sex slaves? The video shows the undercover reporters asking about it, but EDITED OUT the response.
I think that what those employees did was indefensible and that ACORN should be held responsible for them. But I would rather have the government follow due process before defunding an organization that does at least some good things.
If acorn is as bad as its claimed, due process shouldn't hurt, right?
