McCain and Palin's ACORN Hyperbole Breeds This:

Death threats to ACORN staffers in Cleveland and Rhode Island, and vandalism at ACORN's Boston and Seattle offices, after McCain's ridiculously overblown statement in Wednesday's debate about how ACORN "may be perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history" and may be "destroying the fabric of democracy." More on this here. With one exception last week, when Senator McCain asked his supporters to dial back their anti-Obama feelings to from violence-threatening hatred to acceptable levels of dislike, the McCain campaign have really been fanning the flames, and they need to come out with a statement saying that this kind of threatening behavior towards a community activist group from his supporters, even if they are "fringe", is unacceptable.
