ACORN seems to have a special place in the hearts of the conservative blogosphere and talk radio. You would think they were running the country. I thought they were a voter registration organization? Even if they are sometimes shady about how they do it, which I am willing to agree they are, let's not get carried away about their importance.

Yes. I think you are. These people are tire of being ignored, insulted and villified. They are IMHO justifiably angry.
