Short version is that Acorn *was* a group that helped various poor, or 
small business, but they where also Liberals, and helped out in signing 
people up for elections. They **self reported** some irregularities in a 
few of those sign ups, as per law. I.e., they did the right thing. The 
GOP used them as a whipping boy, blamed them for just about everything 
from Obama being elected, to illegal... whatever it was, since they 
never seemed to have anything precise, other than being damn liberals. 
Some dipshit dressed up as a pimp (and who claims to be on the forefront 
of the "new journalism) later went in, and tried to get them to "help 
him", with his "small business".

Only:

1. After they had already closed doors, lost all funding and went out of 
business, it was determined that other than a few minor, and not 
uncommon, mistakes, they never did **anything** intentionally illegal, 
or even barely more than perhaps, unintentionally irregular.

2. It was determined, when someone *finally* got the original footage 
from the pimp guy, that he had filmed his leaving and entering in the 
pimp get up, along with two women, but then pasted that to the start and 
end of the final tape. He ***actually*** entered the offices *without* 
the women, and dressed in a conservative, perfectly normal, business 
suit. They told him to leave several times during his "interview", and 
finally threatened to call the cops on him if he didn't. This was, 
again, edited out, in order to make it seem like they *knew* he was 
running a prostitution ring and where going to help him with his 
"business" anyway.

I don't know how you missed it. We spent the entire fracking end of the 
Obama campaign, and most of the time, up until about 4 months ago, 
listening to them whine about Acorn, and blame them from just about 
everything from bad weather to the oil spill, or at least try to use 
them as an "example" of the stuff they where "fighting". As usual 
though, they where tilting at windmills, and/or burning people at the 
stake over the political equivalent of demon possession, or 
transgression with the "devil!", while the rest of us tried to figure 
out what the hell the actual problem was, and why they were ignoring 50 
thousands other people, to pick on some two bit company that helped 
people plan business decisions, or what ever the hell it was they 
actually did.
