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."

Wouldn't work....

Most of the Code Pink whores are certifiable lunatics - and unabashed enemies of the Republic...

Best addressed by laughter — or extreme and terminal violence..

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.

Does JC Watts know this?

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.

While POW JOHN McCAIN was sitting in a Communist North Vietnamese Prison Camp...

...the Code Pink type folks of the day back home in a confused America helped bring about a most horrid devastation upon a once free people with a resultant Freedom’s loss in South Vietnam:

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

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.

It’s time that Johnny Mac come marching home again....to the GOP conservative base. Stop placating these moronic liberals and get back where he belongs....firing up the conservative base and stick with embracing the conservative message. Liberals are NOT his allies.....

They have brain disorders and their picture of the world can fit in 3x5 frame. They truly can’t see the forest for the trees.

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.
