AZ (8) GOP Candidate Jessie Kelly Accepts Endorsement From A Group Backed By "white supremacists, Neo Nazi's, and anti semites"

Tucson - AZ GOP District 8 Candidate Jessie Kelly has been a pretty consistent anti immigrant political opportunist for as long as he has been running for Congress. So it is no surprise that he gladly accepted the Americans For Legal Immigration Political Action Fund (ALIPAC).

What is interesting, is the quotes above calling ALIPAC a group backed by"white supremacists, Neo Nazi's, and anti semites," comes from another Jessie Kelly backer, none other then Mr. complete the danged fence Senator John McCain.

David Safer of the Tucson Citizen has the full story HERE:

A week ago I posted about the endorsement of Jesse Kelly by ALIPAC  (Americans for Legal Immigration PAC). I quoted McCain's comment about the pac way back during the primary when J.D. Hayworth got its endorsement:

In a March statement, McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said the group "is backed by white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anti-Semites."

Senator McCain for his part now see's the ALIPAC endorsement of Kelly to be a positive, and sees nothing wrong with his change of heart (READ: Flip Flop):

But KGUN has picked it up. It's worth a look. My favorite line in the story is when McCain -- remember him? The guy who condemned Hayworth for accepting ALIPAC's endorsement? -- said this when asked "whether he felt the same way about ALIPAC's endorsement of Kelly as he had about its endorsement of Hayworth."

In response, McCain pointed out that a group's endorsement of a candidate does not necessarily mean the candidate endorses the group.  "A lot of people support me that I don't agree with," McCain said.  "And just because they support me doesn't mean anything about my views."
