McCain heckled by CNN reporter (Michael Ware)
Drudge Report ^ | April 1, 2007 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 04/01/2007 11:05:53 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

During a live press conference in Bagdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,” saying, “here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter.”

Senators McCain and Graham flew into Iraq and drove into Bagdad, making stops at an open market and a joint Iraq/American military security outpost before appearing at the press conference.

This is not the first time Michael Ware has taken issue with Senator McCain’s comments about early progress in Iraq. Last week, after Senator McCain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he needed to catch up on the news coming out of Iraq, Michael Ware responded, saying:

“I don't know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad.”

Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I've been given a front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here … In fact, I'm drinking now.”

I pretty sure I remember Hugh Hewitt and others were interested in Just how close" Ware was to the snipers that were pictured taking out our troops. Hugh interviewed Ware at least twice.

I'm fuzzy on this...but MediaMole says...he was embedded with the terrorists.

Does anyone remember if it was determined, or if Ware admitted, to actually being with the bad guys when this killing went down??

"He is probably the only person on our side running for President who isn't a RINO, hell, he is to the right of Duncan Hunter."

Mind sharing what you're smoking?

Can you say "gang of 14?"

"Michael Ware … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here … In fact, I'm drinking now.”

So he is an admitted drunk as well as a partisan fool. Is there a rehab clinic that can simultaneously treat Alcoholism and BDD (Bush Derangement Disorder)?

Given that I have heard a video where Ware discusses being with insurgents as they were loading chlorine into truck bombs, I fail to see why the louse is not in custody!

didn't realize that Ware was involved in that video. My guess is that he was along with the terrorists on their mission to kill Americans.

Any editor worth his salt would fire Ware on the spot! It is enough the printed word belies the truth in journalism, but this guy was out of control as most of the mindless pitbull crowd are these days to verbally announce it to the world. (We have a few of them on FR, as a matter of fact.)

>I think you misread, it was McCain and one dem.. If you haven't heard of him, McCain is the furthest thing from a dem. He is probably the only person on our side running for President who isn't a RINO, ----, he is to the right of Duncan Hunter. He is also the only stable and sane candidate.<

Oh, mnehrling! Dementia does not become you!

Cnn's polling firm is connected directly to the Clinton's, what did you EXPECT??

ANYTHING not involving a Clinton will be heckled mercilessly, they MUST get the Clinton's elected.

If I knew that I wouldn't have to pay to get it done lol.
My list of 5th column traitors and foreign enemies is growing longer. That King Abdullah guy is really hard to track.

Ok, guess I gotta be the one to say it. I like McCain. I'll vote for him in a second, if he somehow manages to get the GOP nod.

Ponder this--if McCain were CiC, what do think he'd do if Iran took 15 of our guys?
