The Wingnut Perspective

What the Worldwatch Institute says:

Expanded Coalitions Support U.S. Climate Bill

In an effort to broaden support for sweeping climate legislation, environmentalists are forming atypical alliances with other progressive social organizations.

Groups such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), MoveOn, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) are part of a growing coalition of social welfare, labor, religious, and healthcare organizations joining forces with the traditional environmental lobby.

Farther down, other groups are listed, including Green For All, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Planned Parenthood, the National Council of La Raza, Alliance for Climate Protection, the League of Conservation Voters, the Blue Green Alliance, Environment America, Greenpeace USA, Friends of the Earth, and the Rainforest Action Network.

What Matthew Vadum at the American Spectator hears:

ACORN Enters the Highly Lucrative Global Warming Hysteria Business

Now the ACORN crime family is jumping on the global warming alarmism bandwagon, according to (the left-leaning) Worldwatch Institute.

The radical community group, which is now facing voter registration fraud charges in Nevada, has joined forces with Al Gore and other groups for the ultimate taxpayer shakedown: carbon emission controls.

The upside to the death of however many brain cells this encounter with wingnuttery cost is that I now have my next band name: Al Gore and The ACORN Crime Family. Move over, Sly Stone!
