>Six or seven documented incidents is more than a "handful."

No, it's pretty much exactly a handful.

>At a certain point, you have to ask yourself whether ACORN is willfully looking the other way, especially given the exposure.

They're not looking the other way. They flag suspicious registrations when they find them. They are, by law, not allowed to throw them out.

And if they were looking the other way, what would that accomplish for them?

>Creative non-violence is meant to appeal to the human conscience. The strength of the underlying message is key. Without the message, it just turns into anarchy.

I agree with the message...

>Therefore you have to ask yourself how the woman was wronged and whether her home was indeed taken from her unfairly. ACORN of course will tell her that she's a victim of "predatory lending," but I don't buy that argument at all. In fact, I would go further and accuse ACORN of taking advantage of this woman's plight, all for their own agenda.

What's their agenda?
