Politico's Ben Smith has the goods, as well as the above photo:
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.
A spokesman goes on to say that the organization is saddened "to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN." Meanwhile, I'm heartened to see them finally fighting back.
UPDATE: The Oxdown Gazette has more examples of high-profile Republicans cavorting with ACORN.
UPDATE II: Via Marc Ambinder, here's video of McCain's remarks at another event co-sponsored by ACORN, this one on February 20, 2006. From the podium he says, "What makes America special is what's in this room tonight." Watch it:
