The News & Observer worked hard to prop up the corrupt ACORN organization in an editorial yesterday. I commented at the time about their astounding myopia, in which they draw moral equivalence between ACORN’s corrupt efforts and those who complain about it:
[I]f there’s politics in ACORN’s sign-ups, there’s an equal amount in the noisy campaign against it.
Well, today, The New York Times has a story about even more ACORN political corruption and fraud, giving the lie to the N&O‘s benign interpretation of the radical organization:
An internal report by a lawyer for the community organizing group Acorn raises questions about whether the web of relationships among its 174 affiliates may have led to violations of federal laws.
