ACORN flap was much ado about nothing

I'm pleased that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) employees who were entrapped by a conservative operative's hidden camera have been cleared of all wrongdoing by the Brooklyn, N.Y., district attorney's office.
This issue was always much ado about nothing, blown out of proportion by Fox News.
These were field-level employees who do not set ACORN policies, and it certainly wasn't worse than what happens every single day to rich people who are sheltering their taxes with whatever advice their accountant gives.
