A majority of Republicans -- 52 percent -- think ACORN stole the presidency, while just 27 percent said they believe Obama's office is legitimately his.
Yikes. A majority? Okay. The country slapped them down pretty hard last November, but this is just ridiculous. The projection, the paranoia, the mindless willingness to embrace any kind of stupid tripe as long as it protects them from having to face the consequences of their party's colossal incompetence is nauseating.
How did we get to this place where ACORN, an organization of community activists which basically tries to give the poor a voice in our government, becomes so demonized that a measurable slice of our population believes they have superman-like powers and are able to subvert our entire democratic process? Didn't these same people believe, just a few years ago, that the process was unsubvertible, even by powerful, moneyed corporations who owned the actual physical machinery of the electoral process and promised to 'deliver' for the Republicans?
Argh. The stupidity. It burns.
