Other people have debunked the hysteria surrounding Acorn and its voter registration drive (including Hendrik Hertzberg at the New Yorker, and official Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun Favorite Legal Expert Dahlia Lithwick over on Slate).
Reasonable people understand that this is a completely overblown farce. Reasonable people understand that Acorn hardly represents a threat to the very "fabric of democracy," as Senator McCain said in Wednesday's debate. Reasonable people understand that the process is hardly already "tainted," as former Senator John Danforth pronounced this week.
I feel like someone needs to remind Senator McCain that words, especially hyperbolic, incendiary, untrue words, have consequences, and that not all of his supporters are reasonable people. This is the tip of the iceberg, guys.
