Why has no one said the following?:

"Although there were undoubtedly a few people associated with ACORN, whose actions are definitely questionable, the whole organization cannot be held responsible, anymore than the republican delegation to the senate, for the actions of a senator who liked to pay prostitutes to change his soiled diapers, or for another republican senator who trolled airport bathrooms, looking for sex.... or for the entire republican house membership be held responsible for a sitting congressman who sent multiple lewd emails to the underage children of constituents & well-connected people, who were serving as pages.

Those events were immediately deemed "personal failings", and in no part a reflection of the organizations to which those individuals belonged. "
