Help me understand this about ACORN

Advertisements [?]

Several employees are on a video explaining ways to break the law. From the outrage I've seen, the actions of these employees reflect on the entire organization and that organization should be thrown out with the bathwater, even though their mission is otherwise a good one.

Are these outraged people advocating getting rid of entire police departments because of a few bad cops?
The military because of a few bad soldiers?
Their political parties because of a few corrupt politicians?
Their churches because of a few bad clergy?
Their employers because of a few bad employees?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype anyone?
