Hecklers disrupt McCain's speech repeatedly

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.

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?

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.
