From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart

(CNN) – The McCain campaign is fundraising off embattled community group ACORN.

“The truth is that far-left groups in this country will do anything to help the Obama-Biden Democrats win the White House and maintain their majorities in Congress,” Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin writes in a fund-raising e-mail sent out Monday afternoon. “And last week, we found out they're going even further to win.”

“The left-wing activist group, ACORN, is now under investigation for voter registration fraud in a number of battleground states. . . . We can't allow leftist groups like ACORN to steal this election.”

ACORN called the McCain camp’s suggestion “ridiculous.”

“We’re proud of our record of helping 1.3 million new registrants get involved in the process just as we are proud of our work to ensure clean and fair elections,” ACORN spokesperson Brian Kettenring told CNN Monday. “Candidates and parties may win or lose elections. But the assertion that anybody is trying to steal this election is ridiculous,” added Kettenring.


Gov. Palin's latest fundraising e-mail focuses on the community organizing group ACORN.


The community organizing group also said that in 2006, John McCain appeared at an immigration reform rally it co-sponsored in Miami. “Maybe it is out of desperation that Senator McCain has forgotten that he was for ACORN before he was against ACORN,” Bertha Lewis, ACORN’s chief organizer, said in a statement released Monday.

Last week, McCain called for an investigation into allegations ACORN is engaging in voter fraud, and his McCain campaign released a Web video linking the group to Barack Obama. Speaking about ACORN last Friday, McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis told reporters “the only reason you pack lists of voter registration is because you want to steal votes, because you want to cheat.”

CNN recently reported about questionable voter registrations submitted by ACORN in Lake County, Indiana and about a raid of the group’s Las Vegas office by Nevada state officials conducting a voter fraud investigation.

1. Wrong, Sarah. WE can't let fascists like YOU steal this election. (nt)

[Bonn1997]

2. They're trying to paint Dems as election thieves now because...

they believe it will come in handy if Dems accuse them of stealing the election in November. They'll talk about how at every stage of the process from before to during to after the election the Dems wanted to cheat. We should be countering this narrative RIGHT NOW rather than just hoping that the public isn't paying attention.

4. "Leftist." She's speaking their language.

Fucking bitch. Sorry, but she is.

[Orsino]

6. Ever the helpless victim.

Is there anything she takes responsibility for?

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. From your perspective, even David Duke would be far left.

Go home Mooseolini, your screwed up family needs another oddball to complete the picture.

[AlCzervik]

8. Yes Sarah we know you hate poor people and wish no one would actually assist them.

[spanone]

10. sarah, blow it out of your ass.

[Thrill]

14. Its almost time to take the gloves off on Palin

[Motown_Johnny]

15. that pic kinda makes it look like Florida is Sarah's penis

to bad the angle isn't a little better. Or if she was standing a few feet forward

[TheKentuckian]

17. We do need to be putting this ACORN nonsense down

and busting them for the massive cheating they are doing all across the country that they are raising all of this fuss to smokescreen for.

[Raine]

19. They KNOW all about theft

since that's their regular method of "winning". x(

[barack the house]

20. Complete projection stealing is the losers tactic. Why doesn't someone make that point or an ad.

[political_Dem]

21. This is why we've got to do everything in our power to stop this woman.

We can't allow the likes of her to ever make it into the WH. Not ever. Eight years of gross stupidity, sheer ruthlessness and utter corruption is enough.

[WillyT]

22. Oh... Sweet Sweet Irony...

:rofl::banghead::rofl:

:crazy:

[jsmirman]

23. Yes, because a result of ZERO ACTUAL fake votes will "steal" an election

and how do you "steal an election" that you've already won, thanks to someone picking a completely unqualified, vapid, mean-spirited, ethically failing, fundie nut bag bimbo???

Fuck you, LIAR.

So irrational, I'd say even they should be embarrassed, but who am I kidding. Really, though, they take the cake.

[jsmirman]

24. Can we bump this? Way more entertaining than

a certain word-use debate elsewhere.

[sampsonblk]

25. Kudos to Palin on this one

Voter fraud is a good election issue. It raises eyebrows and gets attention. So why the hell didn't we raise it in 2004???? Bush had just stolen a bleepin election in 2000! We had a legitimate friggin point, unlike Palin.

How on earth did voter fraud become a pro-GOP issue? That's what's shocking and ridiculous about this crap.

See.. Now I've made myself mad all over again.

26. just more rethug smears

and projection

too bad the word 'right' doesn't work the same way with our electorate
