ROCHESTER, N.H. -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain told workers of small weapons factory that he not only wants to catch Osama Bin Laden if elected, but said he "will shoot him with your products".

"I will follow Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell and I will shoot him with your products," McCain said.

"McCain told reporters afterward he was joking when he made the comment at Thompson Center Arms in Rochester."

Why should he back track when just about every other Republican in this country wants to shoot Osama as well. I wouldn’t make any apologies for stating the obvious.

Of course he was joking. He wants to shoot him with a custom Kimber 45.

Whatever McInsane. Close the borders so his minions don’t get another chance at us.

Well, at least he didn't say he would lynch him.

That would really get him in hot water.

Unfortunately in the political environment we are in today, Bin Laden must be put on trial if captured and we would be held “responsible” if he were to commit suicide while in custody.

McCain says he wants to shoot Osama

Other than a demoncrat...who doesn't?

[weegee]

At least he didn't question Bin Laden's patriotism to his cause or the fallacy of his religious beliefs.

That would really get him in hot water.

Said McCain: "I was just joking when I said I want to shoot Osama. What I really want to do is make him walk the plank."

"I will follow Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell and I will shoot him with your products"

How very John Wayne of him.

Sounds like a campaign speech to me......

[KosmicKitty]

Of course, a quick look led me to believe the headline was Obama, no Osama :-)

[Ancient Drive]

“I will follow Osama Bin Laden to the gates of hell and I will shoot him with your products.” John McCain

that my friend, will be quoted forever in my sig. :)

[ZULU]

That’s fine. As long as he doesn’t threaten to NOOSE him!!!

[America_Right]

Somebody PLEASE post a grab from the South Park episode showing the soldier shooting Osama and saying "I got him!".

Durka durka Mohammad jihad!!!
