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."

Tell the protestor to track down Bill Clinton. He wants piece too (piece of @$$).
“The woman was protesting the Iraq war, saying that she wanted a “peace candidate.”
She has one, go vote for Bambi.

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.
Arrest ‘em, send ‘em to Guantanamo, torture ‘em till they change their tune.
these people trying to silence speech they disagree with are the same ones saying that we trash the constitution when we wiretap terrorists
how can a sane person not see the irony?
I have more regard for shoe scrapings than I do for the news so-called reporters, writers & readers at ABC.
“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.”
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.
Oh, yeah, the public would be allowed to go through and gawk at them, point, and laugh.

I’ve go an idea...now that we are trading with communist North Korea..let’s send these pinko commie, terrorist supporters for a visit there. I’ve got two one way tickets burning a whole in my pocket.
What? Thatr code pink wacko doesn’t know what she is talking about.
I am sure McCain is the only ‘piece candidate’ around.
He probably keeps a gun at home for protection, I betcha.
whole=hole
Ahhh...finally the voice of reason (and I’m not kidding).
I'm firing my proof reader.
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.
