Acorn, for all the hoopla, all the grand expose', had a few of it's employees "not follow'in da rules", but that seemingly allowed the indictment of the entire organization...and although voter fraud was never proven, the old horse beaten rhetoric makes sure that when Acorn is mentioned...that's one of the first things thought of.  Misappropriations, to the tune that was strummed continually, not really.

They were flagged because they played a real part in voter turn out and they were crucified for it. 

I think you're wrong about that.  It wasn't just a few bad apples, it was an organizational culture that was corrupt.  Corrupt and criminal.

Merely the tip of the iceberg.  And that's not even including the events which led to the organization's demise (at least the demise of the name ACORN).
