The ACORN scandal was completely made up

The right wing in this country went crazy with the James O'Keefe video of him and his girlfriend dressed as a pimp and a whore showed up and they claimed that employees of ACORN were going to help them set up a child prostitution ring. The only problem with their claims, they were all lies. The really sad part is that the lies and the resultant media frenzy actually succeeded in driving ACORN out of business.

This is a long-standing organization that helped poor people in this country, so it's a really sad event that ACORN was forced to declare bankruptcy and close its doors, especially when the allegations that caused this were completely fabricated by low life James O'Keefe and helped along by Fox "News" and other right wing media organizations.

And now we must contend with the ability of big business to spend unlimited funds to distort and lie about the record of progressives. The big lie perpetrated by Fox Noise is really just the beginning. It proves just how gullible some people are. The Tea Party people have the right wrath - just blaming the wrong people.
