    John McCain speaking at an ACORN rally in 2006.
    And I quote the good senator: "What makes America special is what's in this room tonight."


    Anyone else find McCain's wild attacks on ACORN to be astoundingly desperate and hypocritical?

    Why has McCain spun a 180 on ACORN? Is that just what a MAVERICK does?

    So I'm to vote against a guy that used ACORN to push one issue and for for a guy that is a trojan horse for the entire ACORN agenda?

    The "entire ACORN agenda"?

    What kind of paranoid conspiracy garbage are you peddling?

    Wow. defensive are we?

    I thought you would be supportive of ACORN and Obama's promotion of their goals.

    What "wild attacks" did McCain make on ACORN? He should have been hammering this issue much earlier in the game.
    His playing nice is a losing proposition.

    What are ACORN's goals? To make sure Americans are registered to vote?

    I fully support that goal. And John McCain did, too, until he needed to court an anti-immigrant base.

    Acorn is a completely meaningless issue for both sides. But hell if the ding dog email talking points GOP folks are going to regurgitate the same crap over and over some of the Dems ought to have a little fun with this silliness.

    Exactly. ACORN is a complete non-issue, but the Republicans are so desperate right now they'll throw anything they can out there and pretend it's some terrible outrage.

    Why do you avoid simple questions? Is it cowardice or something else?

    I think their goal is to register people to vote.
    What do you
    think their goal is?

    And furthermore, do you think McCain supports this secret goal you apparently don't want to talk about?

    And what's Obama's history with ACORN that he's supposed to be ashamed of? 13 years ago he was an attorney representing ACORN and his partner was the DOJ as they were trying to get the State of Illinois to enforce the Motor Voter Law. More scattershooting by Fox News trying hoping something will stick.
