How much taxpayer money has been wasted in the defense industry over the decades? Hell, how much just in the Iraq reconstruction? We're not talking the few millions Acorn has received, we're talking hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.
Yet, listening to Right wing talk radio or FOX News you'd think that ACORN was a bigger threat to the US than alQaida.

Have you been waterboarded? Nobody thinks that Acorn is a bigger threat. They must be held accountable for their illegal actions. And it would have been billions not millions that they were going to get.
