9. They see ACORN as a political group and just an arm of the democratic party.

Truly.

They see them as a 100% partisan democrat org. using government funds for partisan political purposes.

They really do not know anything else about ACORN except the fact they endorsed Obama, and signed up millions of voters, and get government money. They think it is simply wrong to have the government give millions to a partisan political organization.

It's not race issue at heart, though race is surely factor with some wingnuts.

Now the repubs have convinced them ACORN is set to receive billions, in their minds it is the government giving billions to a partisan political group to advance a partisan political agenda with taxpayer funds, and they are freaking LIVID about it... Despite it not being factual.

That's the deal with the census as well. They are convinced a partisan political group would push their agenda into the census program and skew the census with partisan bias, using taxpayer funds.
