"Spokeytown," a Matt Yglesias commenter, on the ACORN hysteria, as noted in the poll that 52% of Republicans believe ACORN stole the election for Obama:
It’s pretty obvious that none of these people have ever had any dealings whatsoever with ACORN, an extremely low budget, idealistic, shoestring operation that does really good work, with the typical variable-quality management you see in organizations like that, and apparently some higher-ups pocketing money for themselves. Something tells me if ACORN were really this world-dominating secret society they wouldn’t need to hire broke college kids as canvassers to bug people on downtown sidewalks for money.Posted by Stephen Silver at November 20, 2009 04:28 PM
