Hecklers disrupt McCain's speech repeatedly
abc7news ^ | June 28, 2008 | Bret Hovell and Jennifer Duck

Posted on 06/28/2008 4:04:10 PM PDT by mdittmar

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was interrupted repeatedly by hecklers as he and his likely Democratic presidential opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., separately addressed the National Association of Latino Elected Officials Saturday, at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C.

McCain was interrupted four times by protestors, three of whom were identifiable as CodePink members. Four separate interruptions (as opposed to the number of people protesting, which can vary) may tie a record for recent McCain events.

In Denver in late May, McCain was interrupted four times during a foreign policy speech.

One of the protestors spoke in Spanish, then translated as she was getting hauled out of the room: "Your silence is consent to war crimes," she shouted at the crowd, which booed her.

Three of the protestors were women, one was a man.

Of the first protestor, a woman from Code Pink who frequents most of McCain's stops in Washington, McCain quipped, "That's a very familiar voice to me."

The woman was protesting the Iraq war, saying that she wanted a "peace candidate."

The Code Pinkos “puttin’ on a show” for their comrades in “the media” as well as the “american people.” It’s too bad these maggots are allowed into these events. It’s makes it very difficult to take ANY politics seriously when the Code Pinkos send in their clowns to disrupt the proceedings. They turn the whole thing into a big joke.

This is how the MSM intends to cover this election. Just have one or two hecklers show up at every McCain appearance & bury any message he may try to deliver.

I have more regard for shoe scrapings than I do for the news so-called reporters, writers & readers at ABC.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s too bad hecklers weren’t there (NALEO meeting) to protest BOTH candidates on illegal immigration/amnesty/and border security!!

If McCain is going to be our candidate, he needs to know NOW that we won’t tolerate ANY amnesty of ANY kind for ANY illegal aliens, and yes, our borders must be effectively secured FIRST.

I would like to put these pinkos into a pink prison where everything they wear, live in and on, eat, drink, bathe with, etc. is pink. That really would not be sufficient; so I propose they be forced to get up and protest every 2 hours, 24/7. The protests could not be about living conditions, food, or drink. The protests would have to be about the war and/or military. Their guards would be the biggest meanest looking military to be found.

Oh, yeah, the public would be allowed to go through and gawk at them, point, and laugh.

There was a code pink member at a McCain rally who shouted a few times that he deserved to be tortured in Vietnam because the war was illegal and the U.S. were again invading a country that did nothing to us.

Crazy freaking lunatics.

This is going to become so common that it won’t even be reported. Breaking up McCain’s speeches or even GOP meetings will become a normal practice. It almost happened in the last election. I lived in a small city where GOPers got their cars keyed when they were attending meetings, people would burst into the headquarters and scare the old ladies at the phone banks, and one night, the windows were broken (by a college professor, no less!). The GOP office was in a primarily black neighborhood, and bands of children and sometimes the occasional adult would follow the GOP volunteers from the office to their cars, taunting them and on one occasion that I saw, spitting on them.

This election is going to be even uglier.

Saw the speech live earlier today on CNN, the audience was applauding when the hecklers were led out.

Code pinko only does more damage to themselves when they pull these stunts.

Elizabeth Hourican, Co-Co-Coordinator for Phoenix Chapter of “Code Pink“.

http://tinyurl.com/68wvmp

Phoenix resident Liz Hourican, holding a camera aimed at the candidate, stood up when McCain said “I represent Arizona”

She joined the other women after having spent 18 months in Washington protesting her home senator’s support for the war in Iraq.

I don’t know. The thing that was strange was that we would occasionally get phone calls from black voters (who identified themselves as black) saying that they wanted to vote Republican but they were afraid that their neighbors would find out, so they couldn’t work for Bush but would pray for him. I wish the GOP had better outreach to black voters and also to Hispanic voters. We sign these blocks over to the Dems and forget about them; the fact is that they are under a lot of pressure in their own “communities,” and with the racist Hussein Obama as the Dem leader this year, blacks are going to be under major, major pressure.

Probably nothing because the messiah Obama will be anointed as the countries savior. Their king is coming and the moonbats will be in awe by his power and wisdom

Now at the RNC convention, there will be massive moonbats protests. The MSM will take small angle camera shots to made the crowds look huge and protest massive. The MSM will report breathlessly how fractured and demoralized the GOP is.

Can't do that. McCain is opposed to torture and for closing Guantanamo. I guess we will have to appease them, just like the terrorists.

You can no longer protest outside of an abortion clinic because it is considered “intimidation” and “denial of a basic right”.

These socialist agitators sought to deny McCain his Constitutional right to PEACABLE ASSEMBLY.

Despots. And the media loves it.

Shout down Obambi and you’ll be called very bad names in print.

You’re right. Both Obama and Hillary stated as much about six weeks to two months ago.

You simply cannot cut and run with 135,000 troops on the ground and a nation at stake.

You can pull them out faster than you should, but it’s not going to happen over night.
