    Hahahahahhaha.
    Hypocrisy strikes again, eh?
    I've given up. There is no talking sense into those who cover their ears and shout "Lalalalalala" so that they can't hear the truth.

    Funny! McCain's four fingers pointing back ALWAYS tell us where to look next. He's so . . . textbook.

    So can the McCain supporters put this to rest since their candidate was involved with ACORN?

    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.

    People involved with ACORN are ridiculous. When I was working I worked for a loan company. ACORN got involved, in Ohio, I believe, and waited outside one of the District Manager's homes and when his wife and children came out to go to school they pelted them with rubber sharks (get it, loan sharks). The kids went screaming and the cops were called. I guess they got their publicity.
