These exact charts have been critiqued on the Junk Charts blog: http://junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/2010/02/cousin-misfit.html and you'll even find some ggplot code in the comments for doing them. If you still want to... I just did a google image search for 'ggplot stacked' and there they were.
