Then they turn on the propaganda machine to whip up anyone who decides not to research or think for themselves. It comes down to building power for low income and minority people. Something that those who HAVE power have never stood for in this country...

I never heard about ACORN before the right wing took them on as the 'enemy number one' of the Right. I haven't seen this much conservative angst about a non-profit group since they started beating up on Planned Parenthood - and THAT was over the abortion issue. So, what gives? What exactly IS it about ACORN that creates such chaos in the right?
