Awfully Corrupt Officials for Registring Negroes (ACORN) is yet another corrupt political group hiding under the guise of helping the poor and advancing civil rights.
ACORN might do at least a little good despite their repeated offenses at advising people on how to effectively commit tax fraud and defrauding people to believe they are simply registering voters when they are really aiming to register democratic voters. But isn't it *truly* a mark of shame for the democrats when they benefit so extremely disproportionately from an effort at registering the nation's most uneducated, uninterested and ignorant people to vote? What will they do in the next tight election, court the violent pedophile vote?

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Community Organization that opperates in low income mostly minority communities. Engages in Organizing these communites to promote social change through door-to-door canvassing. Was instramental in Florida's Minimum wage campaign in 2004, and then later Minimum Wage Campaigns in several other states. ACORN came under intense scrutiny in 2008 when Republicans tried to tie the organizations Voter Registration activites to fraud and therefore President Obama, who was a former community organizer (though not with ACORN) and breifly represented the organization, along with the Illinois Department of Justice, in a lawsuit aimed at making voting more accessable. ACORN has consistantly denied the allegations, and as of today has not been found guilty of any wrong doing.
ACORN organizers are easily identifiable by the red t-shirts and clipboards. You'll find them in nearly every true hood in America

verb To acornize means to do what FOX News and conservatives did to ACORN, namely point out a single mistake and then build on that to condemn the whole organization. The word was first used on the Cynthia Black radio show.

Those House Republicans sure didn't waste any time after Planned Parenthood was acorned.
