Print This Email This Stephen Colbert satirized Sen. John McCain's allegations during the final presidential debate Wednesday night that his opponent is involved with a group that could "destroy the fabric of democracy" through voter fraud.



Colbert said he is tired of people claiming NSA wiretapping, condoning torture or increased power in the executive branch is endangering democracy, when the real culprit is obviously a grassroots organization called ACORN.



"It was actually destroyed by homeless people filling out registration forms with the name Mickey Mouse," Colbert said.



The talk-show host was referring to bogus registration forms filled out by members of ACORN sent to sign up voters in minority and poor neighborhoods, the Associated Press reported.



Donald Duck and the entire starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team also appeared on voter registration forms in Nevada.



Democrats have accused the GOP of making the allegations as a desperate attempt to reduce the huge number of newly registered Democratic voters from getting to the polls.



As McCain continue to trail behind Obama in every poll except the ones on Fox News, Colbert said that he's "ready to call it now."



"John McCain is going to be the next president of Fox News," Colbert said.
