Why They Hate ACORN

Of course, I'm just echoing the obvious here. I hope.

The major reason ACORN has been a target of the Republican Party’s political operatives because it disrupts the strategy put in place by Karl Rove to simply purge as many Democratic voters as possible.

Here in Ohio, the Republican Party led a charge to purge an estimated 1.25 million voters. The GOP attacked black students at Wilberforce, a traditionally black college. They attacked inner city voters in the heavily Democratic wards of Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. They attacked students at liberal colleges like Kenyon and students who had gone to major public universities like the Ohio State University and Ohio University.

The reason they hate ACORN is because it gives poor and powerless people a voice, increases the number of working class and poor voters, which means that more Democrats could win elections.

MORE: ACORN is suing the fillum-makers.
