Some claim that Progressives Liberals The Reality-Based Community Progressives change their name (and color, red blue) frequently — and hide their now-embarrassing history of alliances with (and sympathies for) the KKK eugenics fascists Communism radicalism the poor and downtrodden — because their own actions tend to repeatedly besmirch their former moniker.

Nonsense! Nothing could be further from the truth!

Ummm...

ACORN executives have also changed their organization's name, which was tarnished by investigations in at least 14 states of allegations of voter registration fraud during the 2008 presidential campaign, and charges by current and former members of financial mismanagement and misrepresentation.

The new name will let ACORN leaders continue their operations...

...there are, after all, voter registrations to forge, funds to misuse, brothels to set up, human traffickers to protect (and Guilder to frame for it!)...

... without worrying about prior bad publicity, according to Marcel Reid of ACORN 8, a group of present and former members.

"We've known for many months now that the name ACORN is going to be retired," Reid said. "The name has been so damaged to the point where the leadership knows it simply can't go on as it has with the ACORN label out front and center, especially after all of the reporting."

I personally blame anyone but ACORN.

Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, embezzled almost $1 million from the organization in 1999 and 2000, while he was employed as the organization's chief financial officer with the CCI affiliate. For almost a decade Wade Rathke and other staff members concealed the embezzlement from ACORN's board of trustees, according to the criminal complaint ACORN 8 members filed against the organization.

Why on earth would right-wing filmmakers assume they could find a "culture of corruption" flourishing in such an organization? There's not even a hint of it!

Well, nothing to see here! MoveOn, everyone, MoveOn!

(At least I'll be able stop seeing it perpetually misspelled as "Acorn"!)
