35. The workers caught on tape were at fault.
Those three or four videos showing poor advice and choices by the ACORN workers.
Shouldn't paint the entire organization. Yet the actions of a few Blackwater guards paint that entire organization in many liberal peoples eyes including mine.
Right wingers have found their boogyman in ACORN. Like we on the left found in Diebold.

What really is sad about this entire situation. Is that ACORN actually tried to help low income people.
I don't think they were trying to become billionaires off government contracts. It appears to be they just wanted to be advocates for the voiceless.
And their ability to do so was dramatically altered by the carelessness of a few workers and really the bias of some people. Who were taught what to think and not actually find out for themselves what ACORN does.
