Rachel Maddow reported the truth about ACORN



Here's one of Rachel Maddow's quotes that you won't hear anywhere else:

"What you might not know from all the breathless ACORN damnation coverage is what ACORN actually does. They do things like advocating for a higher minimum wage. They do things like helping low-income families file their taxes. They do things like helping low-income families find jobs. They do things like registering people to vote. That kind of work, as you might expect, has the tendencies to rile up the kinds of industries that really don't want the minimum wage to go up and really aren't that psyched about lots of poor people being registered to vote."

If you haven't seen Rachel Maddow's ACORN segments, watch one now.
