That's why it holds no water really. "those" people call ACORN brownshirts. and "those other" people call certain others brownshirts. It's a contest to see who can smear who more with the color of brown. And I was teasing a tad. i do understand the reference. but I did really wear nothing but shades of brown (and some white shirts) for years. then I moved on to only shades of grey. point is... as that man was upset by the inference, it is equally insulting to those 'awful' ACORN people. We don't live in 1930's Germany. At least we could come up with some original insults? And ones that don't elude to either side gassing 6 million jews/gypsies/queers/others?

The SA (also known as stormtroopers or brownshirts) were instructed to disrupt the meetings of political opponents and to protect Hitler from revenge attacks. Captain Ernst Roehm of the Bavarian Army played an important role in recruiting these men, and became the SA's first leader spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk The memo, authored by Robert MacGuffie, who runs the website rightprinciples.com, suggests that tea partiers should "pack the hall... spread out" to make their numbers seem more significant, and to "rock-the-boat early in the Rep's presentation...to yell out and challenge the Rep's statements early.... to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda...stand up and shout and sit right back down."
