A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that 52% of all Republicans believe that the group ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, with another 21% saying they are not sure. And 35% of all those in the survey over the age of 65, from both parties, agreed with that statement.
This news traveled fast via the Web today, leading to a fun Twitterfest using the hash tag #AcornFacts. It's now one of the top "trending topics" there.

Acorn registered non-white Americans to vote and they didn't vote for the white guy. How unfair of Acorn. We must demonize it or more non-whites might participate in the vote. Oh my.
Sorry, but to my white ears, criticism of Acorn is just more racism by proxy.
ACORN's dirty little secret is that they are supporters of democracy.
Funny. It sounds like Bush in 2000. With the terrible economy, our troops still in Iraq and no public health option, I am afraid that Obama is getting more like Bush everyday!
Except for all of the facts you ignored or distorted!
All of the things you mentioned were already happening before the election, and firmly in place by Jan. 20.
But if that nonsense helps you sleep at night, wrap yourself warmly in your tea bagger flag, cuddle your rifle and wait for Beck to tell you what to think today....
Except for one big difference - Obama and the Democrats are constantly butting heads with corporate interests to try to make things better. Bush and the Republicans never did, and never would do, any such thing.
ACORN let the dogs out.
ACORN

ACORN is being inappropriate, Larry
ACORN made your daddy leave.
ACORN threw that beer at Ron Artest in the Palace.

ACORN stopped Limbaugh from buying the Rams.
The night before the 2004 election K*A*R*L R* O V*E knew that Ohio was the state to watch. He talked about felons voting for John Kerry in anticipation of a possible loss and it would end up in the courts. Unfortunately, the anti-g a y marriage voters came out in abundance and no frivolous lawsuits were needed after all. A*C*O*R*N became the new bogeyman to tie to the new prez.
Et tu, Acorn?

ACORN convinced Eve to pick the apple
ACORN squeezes the Charmin!
