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.

1. Man, he's white as a sheet!
He looks like he'll jump out of his skin, if the guy next to him so much as says boo.

:rofl:

4. And the guy next to him is thinking
"Damn that guy is white. I've seen white folks, but I've never seen one that white. Is he a ghost?"

3. The goal is to white people mad at blacks to split the vote.
