ALEC is the real version of the type of organized, corrupt influence the right claimed ACORN was.

So, let's see, ACORN registered poor people to vote and organized direct help for actual people.

ALEC pushes pernicious legislation that favors, for example, the right to shoot people who scare you.

It's the the core of journalism to point out the huge, stark, glaring difference, not help paper it over.
