Summary: In a report on ACORN's voter registration drives, CNN's Drew Griffin asked an ACORN official: "{W}hy is the deputy city commissioner of Philadelphia telling me that ACORN is hiring recovering alcoholics, drug addicts, homeless people, who are so desperate to get money that they know that, if they don't make their quota, they just fill in any old name?" After the official responded, "That is not the point," Griffin asked: "But has it presented itself as a problem to ACORN? Wouldn't ACORN like to run a nice, clean, smooth voter registration drive?"

6. I saw that interview

that guy is a major ass. Where was he in 2004, when paid Republicans were throwing Democratic registrations away?

7. They should just stick to not hiring republican operatives

I'm sure most homeless people and recvoering alcoholics are honest and can follow basic directions.

Just a couple of deliberately disruptive political operatives can destroy and operation like this. Just ask Karl Rove. He specializes in that sort of thing.

8. So you know what this scum looks like when you see him on CNN
