yglesias explains the reason why the right's current ACORN kerfuffle is so stupid.
well, one of the reasons. the other reason it's stupid is that the kerfufflers are apparently unable to distinguish between voter registration and voting. so when there are problems with voter registration forms, not only do they attribute bad motives to the voter registration organization, but they also accuse those organizations of voter fraud, even though the problem is with registration and not voting.
there's never a shortage of stupidity in a rightwing kerfuffle.
