John McCain, ACORN ally:

Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement . . . "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.

Michelle Malkin:

“I’ll rely on people to judge me by the company that I keep,” McCain said in February.
