Quote:Do you have an example of the ACORN organization itself being corrupt, as opposed to one of its employees submitting false voter registrations? As best I can tell, the clearest explanation for all the cases I've heard so far is someone trying to get paid for registering voters without actually doing the leg work.
Poor employee oversight is a bad thing, but it's hardly the kind of problem that makes them a political liability.

One view, with accompanying fact sheet. Definitely sympathetic, but it appears to be fact-based.

Stating that ALL of ACORN is corrupt is an incorrect statement on my part. As you and Zenda pointed out, a few people who work for ACORN are the culprits, not the entity as a whole. Did you see my post a few spots down (I think it was a comment too you also) about Mickey Mouse registering to vote by ACORN? However, with so many "bad: employees working for ACORN, even if the company itself has high moral principles, they need to do a better job of screening their employees or voulenteers otherwise, why not call the company who enlists the help of these types of people corrupt?
