Were the buildings crapy? sure, but the beat laying in the sand. Did all the generators work all the time? nope, but there were people there to fix them. Did the food suck? Nope, because we ate pretty damm well.
Screw the armchair quarterbacks.

Ask folks in the inner city or those, particularly minorities. who feel disenfranchised and they will say the same thing about ACORN.
For forty years they pre-positioned themselves to be there for the underserved community. The whole smoke and mirrors bullshit argument that they had an institutional plan to commit voter fraud was a weak argument by those who did not want to see increased voter participation in the minority communities.l
Were they always good? no Did the minority community get assistance with housing, credit and finance issues, voter registration. You bet they did.
And they never sexually molested (
or allegedly gang raped) a co-worker or knowingly endangered the lives of others and
committed negligent homicide from faulty wiring in showers.
Screw you, hypocrite.
