Let's talk ACORN instead of Health Care

Monica Crowley blindly dittoes the current “change the subject” distraction of conservatives about ACORN, echoing the “guilty until proven innocent” mentality of “shoot from the hip” conservatives who consistently guess and get it wrong.

Yes, we need to look into the allegations, and where individuals did something wrong, hold them accountable (so far, ACORN, acting far more rapidly than most other agencies, has already fired a number of workers and is still investigating further).

We need to differentiate between the official policies of an organization (including inadequate safeguards and oversight), and the actions of rogue “lone wolf” loose cannons.

The “gotcha” distraction mentality of conservatives is on full display here.

Well, I have to narrow that down. I mean the WACKO conservatives.
Though a dying breed, there are still some conservatives making a serious effort to be fair.

I cite the article by Debra J. Saunders, a far-right conservative who I rarely agree with, but who I at least admire for basing wrong conclusions on valid primary facts.
Her article, published in the North County Times last Friday (9/18), presents a CONSERVATIVE view on the dangers of rushing to judgment on ACORN.
The article can be found on the NCT website at:

I strongly encourage CONSERVATIVES to read a CONSERVATIVE voice on the need for care in basing judgments on facts, not first impressions.
