ACORN and McCain 2300

There is a great PR news wire article on the relationship between McCain and ACORN. We have all heard of this scandal in the news but it is interesting that John McCain used to support them. He was even the keynote speaker at an ACORN sponsored event. Here is part of the article:

MIAMI, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. Senator John McCain's
recent attacks on the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now
(ACORN), are puzzling given his historic support for the organization and
its efforts on behalf of immigrant Americans. As recently as February 20,
2006, Senator McCain was the keynote speaker at an ACORN-sponsored
Immigration Rally in Miami, Florida at Miami Dade College - Wolfson Campus.

Bertha Lewis, Chief Organizer of ACORN, said, "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. Maybe it is out of
desperation that Senator McCain has forgotten that he was for ACORN before
he was against ACORN; he was for immigration reform before he was against
immigration reform; and he was a maverick before he became erratic. We were
thrilled to partner with him to help reform the outdated immigration laws
Senator McCain and his campaign have recently launched a series of
coordinated attacks on ACORN, the nation's largest community organization
of low- and middle-income families.
in this country, and were pleased to work closely with him on this issue."

Can this hurt McCain's campaign? As we see ACORN is the nations largest organization of low- and middle income families. That is a lot of people to be pissing off.
