The ridiculous thing about the Defund ACORN Act is that the law isn't even constitutional (see bill of attainder). Not only were the employees responsible for these alleged illegal acts fired by ACORN, but punishing an entity before a trial is simply unjust -- and for a party that claims to uphold the Constitution to the letter, the Republicans sure are hypocritical in this regard.

On the other hand, corporations like Blackwater for which we have evidence of illegal acts at the corporate level, and for which employees acting directly on behalf of the corporation have committed crimes like mass murder and torture, are still under contract to provide "security" (read: mercenary) services for the US military and the US State Department. So if you're getting pissed at ACORN and are fighting to have ACORN de-funded, I sure as hell hope that you're fighting to prohibit the US government from dealing directly with truly disgusting corporations like Blackwater.
