Doug, if you are demonizing A C O R N, you've been drinking too much of the right wing Kool-Aid.   

(There's a bill in Congress now to defund and refuse to do give govt. contracts to ANY organization or business that has had any of its subsidiaries or representatives convicted of defrauding the govt. If that passes, ACORN will look almost saintly compared to, say, Blackwater, Halliburton, KBR, Pfizer, etc., etc.)
