ACORN - Too big to fail.
That's sounds like a great idea. Schwarzenegger could spend all his time investigating Acorn rather than collaborate with DemocRATS in the legislature to impose the Democrats' wish list of policies and programs.
No, it got too corrupt for our own good!
The only reason the article was written was because ACORN was caught being what it's always been: a criminal enterprise - and it's too big for its supporters in the media too ignore.
Yost was a big-time Valerie Plame/ Joe Wilson (remember the other Joe Wilson?)press operative, worked hard to bring down Rove.

One more proof, if any is needed, that with these people, No good deed will go unpunished.
They remind me of that famous Gahan Wilson lemonade stand cartoon, where creepy looking kids are selling lemonade for 5c from their streetside stand and, around the corner, their confederates are selling the antidote for $5. Given the complicity of big pharma in the drive for Obamacare, that cartoon should be revived and applied in that even more relevant discussion. It is well described in this essay on political advertising:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-ducat/propaganda-101-how-to-dec_b_130119.html
A second strategy employed in advertising can be called the getm sick, getm well approach. A disturbing emotion, like fear or envy, is generated in the first half of the ad narrative, and is associated with the competing product or candidate. This is antidoted by the second half of the ad, in which a reassuring feeling, like safety or pride, is elicited, and linked to the commodity or politician being promoted. Im reminded of an old Gahan Wilson cartoon. A group of wholesome-looking, all-American kids are selling lemonade at their makeshift street corner stand. The sign says, Lemonade, Five Cents. Around the corner we see customers gripping their bellies in agony and lurching toward another stand, where the kids with a more demonic countenance are sitting behind a sign that reads, Lemonade Antidote, Fifty Dollars. Getm sick, getm well.
As for ACORN, take your pick, but the motives of ACORN are more akin to the results of cancer.
ACORN got to big for our good. That probably occurred about a month after it was formed.
“Did ACORN get too big for its own good?”
No. It was a bad idea from the get-go.
This group was designed to suck at the taxpayer teet. It was criminal from day one.
Criminal from day one.
Acorn is like the Cuckoo bird which lays it’s egg in the
nest of other species, when it hatches it is larger than
the other chicks so gets the majority of the food that the
parent birds bring back, gradually it forces the other chicks out of the nest until it is the only one left and
the parents never realize what has happened.
The very idea that an organization of this kind was going
to get billions of federal dollars is criminal in the extreme, and MANY people should be put behind bars over it.
No tax payer funding for any of these organization! Period! We need to eliminate the income tax and thus about 50% of the fed’s budget and we will be a great country again!
Not really, its just that the democrats decided to give them billions of our dollars......and we are not suppose to know it......OOPs
