Why does he look so uncomfortable there? - booksnmore4you, on 10/13/2008, -18/+204FTA
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.

- thomazzz021, on 10/13/2008, -11/+163this ACORN thing has got to be the weakest, stupidest and most desperate scandal i've ever heard of. i'd like to meet the retards who probobly got paid to orchestrate it and shake their hand. it takes real skill and probobly practice to be this dumb... i'm just impressed by it.
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -8/+139All we need now is a picture of McCain reading the Koran with Bill Ayers and it's over.
- Arishia, on 10/13/2008, -8/+118This whole ACORN attack on the part of conservatives is another distraction, and red meat for disgruntled republican voters that just can't come to grips with the failure of their ideology.
- MediaWeasel, on 10/13/2008, -16/+110Haha!! But wait! This isn't what Repugloons want to see! Shame! Shame! They want to see McCain brandishing the mighty spear of truth against the communist lackeys of the Acorn Empire!
- 5celery, on 10/13/2008, -4/+94He doesn't like sitting next to "that one".
- niradg, on 10/13/2008, -10/+99McAcorn?
- paintgrl, on 10/13/2008, -7/+88I really wish there was a way to reach McCain's supporters, a way to diffuse the fear and anger they feel. I don't expect everyone to want to vote to Obama or even like him, but the mood now is dangerous and filled with fear and lies. I am scared about the backlash when Obama wins.

- jepaco, on 10/13/2008, -9/+82"McCain is a hypocrite" stories have become so common that I don't know whether to cry or be bored. He has irreparably damaged his reputation.
- dinot, on 10/13/2008, -5/+73I'd love to see the McCain supporters explain this one.
- kelsosmythe, on 10/13/2008, -7/+73Gotcha!
- kingofinternet, on 10/13/2008, -6/+67i guess that means mccain's a communist right republicans?
***** idiots. - inactive, on 10/13/2008, -4/+60This is the funniest, most satisfying thing I've seen in a long time. I predict this will get 5000 diggs. McCain, thank you for brightening my day by having the world's worst memory.
- Lloydinator, on 10/13/2008, -1/+51I have never met a bigger hypocrite than John McCain.
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -5/+55lol @ republican idiocy
- BigMommaLurka, on 10/13/2008, -4/+50This is emblematic of the grand fall that McCain has made since 2000. He has turned his back on every principle he ever held. He has allowed himself to become a pirsoner once again, this time to a destructive, hateful ideology. He will be left bitter and uncomprehending.. wondering where it all went wrong.
- freedomjoe, on 10/13/2008, -11/+53Sad. Just beyond pathetic. this isn't leadership, this is the citizens babysitting the candidate -- having to fact check every single word that comes out of McKKKAint's mouth and then when it's proven FALSE again.... we have to listen to McKKKaint and Palin repeat it over and over for their base. Stoking their base up into a frenzy of fear and anger, based on lies.
- Wryly, on 10/13/2008, -6/+48LOL ROTFLMAO LOL LOL OMG OH NOEZ LOL ROTFLMAO LOL D'OL LOL !! !11!! !!
- yuduke, on 10/13/2008, -6/+47Maybe he has an acorn up his butt.
- pimpofpixels, on 10/13/2008, -1/+40McCain at an ACORN event means nothing because ACORN is a decent institution.
I still have not seen any case where they've engaged in activity which could garner false votes... only false registrations.
There's a difference. - MrColdheart, on 10/13/2008, -6/+43So was demonizing ACORN the failed GOP October surprise?
- objective79, on 10/13/2008, -3/+40OUCH!!!!!! The internet is the best thing to have happened to politics...gotta love Digg and Youtube
- jrndigg, on 10/13/2008, -6/+42Busted!!!
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -4/+37The Double Talk Express is coming off the rails day by day!
- booksnmore4you, on 10/13/2008, -4/+37PRESS RELEASE ABOUT THE EVENT FROM MIAMI DADE COLLEGE:
http://www.mdc.edu/Home/Press/rally.htm - gimmeslack12, on 10/13/2008, -2/+34Sweet, sweet, Irony.
- ryan850, on 10/13/2008, -2/+33I think a more important question is why does he look so uncomfortable everywhere?
- Loonacy, on 10/13/2008, -1/+32It was 'shopped by terrorists. You can totally tell by the america-hating pixels.
- snotrokit, on 10/13/2008, -2/+30Oh I just can't wait to see the spin on this one. What a bunch of ass hats.
- dman24752, on 10/13/2008, -2/+30Man, this story is one for the history books.
- Depthfunction, on 10/13/2008, -3/+30As with just about every other issue, McCain was for it before he was against it. Is there anything that he hasn't flip-flopped on?
- dinot, on 10/13/2008, -2/+29Sure. McCain's campaign says ACORN is evil and they support Obama, but said campaign lacks the foresight to make sure there isn't a photo of McCain cohorting with same people theyr'e trying to demonize.
It's not just hipocracy. It's a ***** stupid campaign strategy. - Echota, on 01/05/2009, -1/+27rofl!!!! A real Nut!!!!
- booksnmore4you, on 10/13/2008, -2/+28I read from someone that someone told them the Easter Bunny is a communist.
- HonestAbe, on 10/13/2008, -0/+25No. It just means he's pallin' around with terrorists.
- roctimo, on 10/13/2008, -2/+25There's definitely Obama haters on digg, and there's definitely real conservatives on digg, but I have yet to see anyone on here who truly LOVES McCain as a candidate for their party. Or Palin as VP.
- inactive, on 10/13/2008, -4/+27name calling? really?
- paintgrl, on 10/13/2008, -0/+22Gold star for funny new McCain name.
- Me0wmix, on 10/13/2008, -1/+23ROFL! That is all.
- Dimbleby, on 10/13/2008, -1/+22Noone's trying to make ACORN look bad. We're noting that this is a complete non-scandal.
We're saying that McCain is trying to make ACORN look bad....but then gets in to bed with them. If Acorn is so bad, what is McCain doing with them?
How do you like them apples, you and your very subtle name! - wendelgee2, on 10/13/2008, -3/+24Absolutely!
In fact, I think you can judge the parties by how they try to "manipulate" the vote.
Dems: Huge get out the vote operations.
Repubs: Huge voter suppress operations, including baseless accusations of voter fraud, direct manipulation via electronic voting software, challenges at polling places by lawyers serving as Republican operatives resulting in long lines and suppressed turnout in minority neighborhoods, and malfeasance by Republican election officials that includes limiting the number of voting machines in minority neighborhoods in order to produce long lines, and sending out faulty information to students about whether or not they can register to vote on campus.
Gee, which one of these should concern us more: Get Out the Vote, or Voter Suppression. You decide. - dinot, on 10/13/2008, -1/+21"But one could also say that this shows that he's willing to listen to both sides of an issue."
Um. You mean like meeting with leaders of "enemy regimes"? Your spin is making Karl Rove jealous. - ironhide, on 10/13/2008, -1/+21you can tell by the pixels huh?
- protogenxl, on 10/13/2008, -2/+22Ha-Ha!
- liuite, on 10/13/2008, -9/+28McKKKain at Acorn meeting? say it ain't so!
