This whole ACORN mess breaks my heart. They've been out there doing some of the toughest grassroots political work imaginable for years and years, hiring from the neighborhoods, expanding the voting franchise, helping the neediest people in our country. And they have been the very convenient target of the racist right wing during all that time, for all the obvious reasons. It's painful to see the Democrats cut and run when the right finally gets some wingnut porn to run with.

ACORN is rightly thanking one of the few defenders they've had in the media, Rachel Maddow, whose work on this has been magnificent.

If you would like to thank her too, ACORN has created a page to do it, here.

3. Janeane Garofalo made some pointed remarks about the ACORN obsession

on the Bill Maher show last Friday. She called it racism, which it obviously is. How dare an organization specifically help the poor which include blacks to register to vote. If they get rid of ACORN they get rid of the poor people's vote. What could be more idyllic in a Teabagger's perfect world?

4. Thank you Doctor Rachel Maddow

When Rachel was on MTP before they had a ratings boost. I'll be glad when they find another host.
David Gregory is nauseating.
