McCain attended ACORN rally
Yes, that's McCain sitting next to Rep. Kendrick Meek at an ACORN event. The very same ACORN his campaign now rails against and is accusing of trying to "steal" the election for Obama:
Miami Dade College press release:
Miami, Florida – February 20, 2006 ― Leaders from a diverse array of sectors will hold a rally in Miami on Thursday, February 23, 2006, in support of comprehensive immigration reform in an effort to keep immigration reform at the forefront of the public debate. Leaders from both political parties, immigrant communities, labor, business, and religious organizations will gather to call on Washington to enact workable reform.
The rally will feature Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as the headline speaker along with elected officials, immigrants and key local and national leaders. Sen. McCain is one of the chief sponsors of the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act; bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform legislation introduced last Congress and scheduled for consideration by the Senate in the coming weeks. A similar rally with Sen. McCain is planned for New York City on February 27
The rally in Miami is being sponsored by the New American Opportunity campaign (NAOC) in partnership with ACORN, Catholic Legal Services - Archdiocese of Miami, Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, Florida Immigrant Coalition, Miami Dade College, People for the American Way/Mi Familia Vota en Acción, Service Employees International Union, and UNITE HERE.

This campaign is one of a kind. Every time it settles on a line of attack, it always undermines it days later.

I'm sure there were pre-conditions imposed on ACORN.
Primus? The base ain't gonna like this!
I guess he was for ACORN before he wa against it.
But wait! Since he attended this meeting, he was meeting with people who palled around with Obama......who pals around with Ayers the Terrorist....
Therefore: McCain is good friends with terrorists!!!!
Kevin Bacon.
You got it right by McCain/Palin statements.
Another bridge to nowhere!
Gee, I am so tired of all the schemes from the GOP.
Now read this: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-fraud...
Like Gallagher with a sledge-o-matic!
Oh the irony is delicious.
McCain is a terrorist!
Really, it's great. Who could make this stuff up???
Problem is, it won't be mentioned in the MSM, so all the McGoo/Mooselini perverts won't see it.
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
You mean it won't be mentioned on that citadel of propaganda, fakery and flimflammery, Faux Noise.
What next, McCain spotted at an Obama rally waving an Obama sign?
could this story backfire at all?
the "immigrants" remember, "oh yea! he was on our side!"
just wonderin'
It looks like a bottle of baby powder exploded on his face.
Perhaps coincidentally one of his rejected campaign slogans was: "Vote for John McCain, Whitest Man in America". It was considered a touch too overt.

... live among us!
McCain is so white he is translucent. Eew, scary!
No way! A Republican campaign directly contradicting itself in the rush to smear someone else?!!? Could it be that the bulk of Republicans are galactic-sized hypocrites?!?!

That's kinds "mavericky," doncha think?
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
Hey Johnny BombIran: Shoot yourself in the foot much? Every time you shoot off your blabbermouth, you have.
McCain will redefine the term "Maverick" to mean someone who can't control his own gun and ends up shooting himself.
Aw shucks, say it ain't so Joe but oops there goes another rubber tree...kerplop!
I guess the McCain campaign has no where they can take this one with McCain's photo op supporting it. This is such sweet justice!
This self-shooting has to stop soon because McCain's bloodbath is getting too painful to witness. Will someone carry him off to a nearby ER please?

You'd think he'd eventually run out of feet.
McCain's campaign just can't get a break. Each time he tries to through something at Obama, it comes back and hits him in the face. twice.
Levi Johnston likes Obama, says "he seems like a nice guy", but wants Palin to win because "she's going to be my mother in Law". Though he didn't tegister in time to vote, hell that would be my excuse to. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081013/ap_on_el_...
That poor sucker...
Well, I hope the night of passion with Bristol (not the motor speedway) was worth it. I figure he's praying for the end of time so he can end his time with her.
This story just keeps getting sadder:
Ugh. In the United States we call that "spreading hypocrisy like lox schmear."
Slander charges are being launched tonight against the McCain Campaign, all of it's surrogates who have committed slander and John McCain and Sarah Palin personally for their public slanderous statement of lies.
More to come on this but the lawsuit is in the wings right now.
Americans are signing petititions for a slander lawsuit to be launched against McCain & Palin along with the surrogates whose actions they are totally responsible for at their rallies.
It's time to stop these "purveyors of total smut" and hit them where it hurts - in their pocketbook.
It goes without saying that their reputations are finished at this point with the american people.
When John mcCain loses this election, he will have to go into hiding as a totally disgraced american - and Moosey will go North to Alasks where she will be impeached.
Americans are watching and taking names now. The slander charges will be launched and will include each surrogate who "aided and abetted" in the encitement to terror as well as "charges of slander" against all members of the McCain campaign who have breached the public trust and committed these illegal acts.
please?
Keith Olberman has just mentioned the slander charges which are forthcoming against John McCain.
Not only is this the first time where both candidates on a presidential ticket have been found to be "guilty" of "abuse of power" but it may be the first time in history where they've slandered their opponent and will be sued by the american citizens.
Stay tuned....this is not over for McCain and Palin, the terror incitors.
...the newest residents of the dustbin of history.
my friends, McCain is clearly a terrorist.

They're really ramping up the propaganda campaign against ACORN in Indiana. Secretary of State Todd Rokita is lying his @$$ off and there doesn't seem to be any push back or any real journalism refuting his false claims of voter fraud. Where the hell are the Democrats? Why aren't the Liberal blogs on top off this. This is how we lose elections folks.
Rokita: ‘Credible evidence’ of voter fraud involving ACORN
Rokita wants query of voter registration
Rokita speaks out on voter fraud while in South Bend
GOP has Indiana vote, says senator: Graham: Obama can win only by cheating
Is nobody paying attention?
well, Graham should certainly know cheating when he sees it. Just as he does whining. Whatta great statesman...why isn't HE running for president?
Wrong Graham/Gramm.
This is the South Carolina Chowderhead, not the Texas Chowderhead.
I know its hard to keep all the idiots straight (no pun intended, Lindsey.)
I don't care how you spell it, they're both crackers!*
*Pun intended
McCain is like the weather--wait a few minutes and it will change. Only difference, he dumps on the poor and showers on the rich.
Kos has it just right: this is one-of-a-kind material.
"I will make them famous. You will know their names."
. . . It's 'Palin', right?
Yeah, I thought so.
They had BETTER MAKE A FUCKING COMMERCIAL ABOUT THIS!!!
Someone really needs to forward this to Lou Dobbs before makes an even bigger ass of himself about ACORN.
too late. Lou was an asshole before ACORN.
Great. Ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhEm2V-VJ8o
I guess now you're gonna try to tell me that McCain's a hypocrite. Watta bunch of whiners this country is.
big oaks from little acorns grow and dont you forget it!
...thank God for it.
Well, I guess, "...given ACORN's recent efforts to engage in voter fraud and to disrupt our political system, (McGoofball's) affiliation with this group raises serious questions about his judgment and ability to lead this nation."
That's what the McCain campaign says.
I like how the guy sitting next to Johnny in the picture is trying to figure out why his face has that "undead-ish" glow.
McCain has been reduced to being a pathetic shell. I hope, though, that he has a good life after November somewhere in one of his houses yelling at the kids to get off his lawn. Watch out for the drool on your shirt and make sure your zipper is up (the older you get the more you forget that you didn't do the zip) or you could get in trouble.
The nut never falls too far from the acorn tree, eh? Perhaps the onset of OldTimer's has Johnny forgetting things a bit.
Can't open up for comments on the new thread.
Nicole: Fixed it. Comment away.
Wonder if CNN will mention this? Larry King spent a ridiculous amount of time on ACORN last Friday, and not a single minute on the Troopergate verdict.
The lies coming out of this campaign are just astounding.
CorporateWhoreMedia will not cover the numerous inconsistencies of McKKKain.
He looks relaxed and comfortable with "that one" sitting next to him and "that one" behind him. Yup, he sure does.
CRAZIEST McCain/Palin Music Cartoon you'll ever see! @

She's like Dick Cheney with lip stick
Magoo got a hard-on after eating that moose pot-pie laced with 'medical' marijuana and stumbled into an ACORN meeting arm in arm with... Ayers looking for "chicks".
I'n an alternate universe, Drudge would definitely have that picture at the top of his page.
McCain forgot he was a strong supporter of ACORN. Yes John remembers in 1970 when ACORN was founded. Only two years ago McCain was honored to be the Keynote Speaker at ACORN. Now with his campaign sinking he wants Americans to lose their right to vote. Who really is John McCain?
"This campaign is one of a kind. Every time it settles on a line of attack, it always undermines it days later."
Johny McBush has never supported a position he didn't later oppose. Or is that the other way round? It's hard to say with a man who has simultaneously held so many contradictory opinions.
If you don't like what granddad McSame is saying, wait 5 minutes and it will change.

What's a McHypocrite?

Starve the WAR Beast...
... Save the World.
This photo-op is for show after the GOP steals the election for him via Premier election systems, subsidiary of Diebold. Then President McCain will turn around and say "See... I ran a clean campaign, just look at this photo."
Any reasonable person would see the difference between attending a rally on immigration reform - an issue John McCain has been on the forefront of for some time now - and the concrete involvement of Barrack Obama. Obama has been involved with this organization for years, and has donated considerable funds (exceeding $800,000) to this organization, which has since been shown to have committed vast voter registration fraud in an attempt to help Obama win key states.
Any rational, reasonable person would see that difference - no matter what their political party affiliation.
Vote McCain/Palin 2008.
Hilarious. You don't even see that McCain and Palin are accusing ACORN of voter registration fraud so they can commit voter registration fraud themselves. What better way to purge voter registration lists of legitimate voters than by focusing on a few false registrations -- registrations that, as just about every "rational, reasonable person" as you call them has noted, mean absolutely nothing unless those fake people actually show up to cast their votes. Purging legitimate voters from the rolls, on the other hand, has a direct impact, since it denies those people their right to vote.
I'll tell you what: if Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and a bunch of dead people and pets actually show up at the polls to vote for Obama, I'll believe your little cockamamie story. Meanwhile, let's see how many Democratic voters are mysteriously unregistered when they attempt to cast their votes.
...he's storing acorns for the winter, in his various orifices.
He looks surprised to see the wrinkly old white dude sitting next to him.
The picture looks fake. Look a the middle guy's head and the standing guy's shoulder.
if you read the accompanying article, there is no statement of ACORN support by McCain, just that ACORN was one of at least 8 sponsors- and they were most likely there to look out for the interests of those less fortunate. How is this comparable to working for, training and exchanging lots of money?
I mean, he was in the same room as some ACORN people! That must mean he shares every single viewpoint they have, is "pals" with them, and works directly with them to destroy America, just like Obama and Ayers!
Oh wait... I forgot, guilt by association is only valid when it applies to liberals and Democrats. My mistake.
I'm a republican. I'm very ashamed of McCain. From the very beginning, all he has done is degrade the republican party. First with that annoying Palin, and then this crap.
I'm sad to say that McCain has done nothing but embarrass us.
