ACORN (Updated) 0
It was the wrong thing to do morally, but the right thing to do politically. To the extent that the GOP had ACORN to take shots at, ACORN was a distraction.
The Republican Party needs villains to attack, because it has nothing to offer except making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Just look at their track record, for Pete’s sake.
If it cannot find villains, it will make them up, which is what it did with the Voter Fraud Fraud and Acorn.
Of course the Republican Party attacked ACORN. ACORN tries to help poor people, and we can’t have that, now, can we?
Addendum, Later That Evening:
The BooMan describes what it was like to work for ACORN.
