According to ACORN’s website, the group is “a non-profit, non-partisan social justice organization.” But this latest ad from the group certainly doesn’t seem non-partisan:

Embattled community organizing group ACORN is taking the offensive with a new ad targeting Sen. John McCain and the Republican Party, accusing the GOP presidential nominee and his party of attempting to intimidate voters.

The new ad, entitled “Not This Time,” is shot in black-and-white and features an African-American man who ages before viewers’ eyes. “It happened to him in 1960, 1965, and again in 2000. He was intimidated so he wouldn’t vote,” an announcer says as a traditional Southern hymn plays. “Tell John McCain: not this time,” the announcer says as the ad ends, and the phone number of McCain’s Capitol Hill Senate office appears on screen.

Not only is the accusation of racist vote suppression baseless and disgusting, but here we have a tax-exempt non-profit that has been paid $800,000 by the Obama campaign this election cycle attacking Obama’s political opponent.

Isn’t that sort of...illegal?
