I can add a Texas twist to the whole ACORN affair.
Our local (Dallas) community radio station (KNON 89.3) was setup by and affiliated with ACORN.
As soon as Obama was elected, the Texas Comptroller called for an audit of said station. In order for the station to survive, they had to come up with the money to do a buyout from ACORN. They are however, still part of Agape Broadcast Inc.
I preferred the ACORN connection. It's hard to survive in Texas if you don't give reverence to "Christian Evangelism".
