ACORN has been taken down by a couple of Christian Youth Crusaders who managed to fool a handful of ACORN employees into thinking they were a prostitute and pimp looking for advice on tax evasion, human trafficking, and assorted other purported liberal pastimes. What I can't understand is how anyone could be fooled by a couple of Young Republicans like this. Fur collar or no fur collar. So ACORN deserves a hit for having stupid people working for them. Then again, the other scandals they've allowed themselves to become embroiled in don't speak well for internal training or supervision at the agency, with the fraud going all the way to the top (embezzlement by the founder's brother). Too bad that this offers thousands of mouth breathers and smug ol'boys "proof" that social justice is evil, socialist, and probably part of a plot to send your daughters to hell. The real justice here is that in passing what amounts to a bill of attainder (Bueller?) to punish ACORN, the Republicans may have unwittingly set all those military-industrial corporations that have fudged their bids up for the same fate. Let's hope Halliburton gets equal treatment.
