Acorn pushes back, hugs McCain

The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida.

The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted Acorn member, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups.

McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was the headliner.

Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans."

”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform," she said.

to promote immigration reform,

Says nothing about registrations ?

Look, ACORN has done a lot of good things. But they have plenty of bad things .

John should have known that come election time that they would stick it to him.

Let me guess:

When they're working with a guy with R behind his name, they're doing "good things." When they're working with a guy with D behind his name, they're doing "bad things"?

You hadn't heard of ACORN before last week.

Does Mr. T saying "I pity the fool", come to mind to anybody? McCain is a wounded duck at this point. Who the Hell is running his campaign? Even McCain deserves better than than the effort his political campaign has set forth.

In defense of McCain anyone who's trailing has the appearance of flailing about because they are trying to find a message or strategy that allows them to catch up.

Every counter punch seems to land harder than his leading punch.

Immigration Reform!

The thing he was forced to flip-flop on in order to win the nomination!

That's a two-fer counter punch, right there!

at this.

Still not as funny as the Batman video though.
