Washington (CNN) – Sen. John McCain called for a more civilized political discourse on Monday after members of Congress who voted for health care reform reported incidents of harassment and threats of violence.

"There is a lot of anger and passion out there," McCain said on CNN's "John King USA." "Let's change that into a spirited and healthy respectful campaign season between Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives. Let's really go at it, but let's do it with respect, that's the key to it."

McCain noted that he has held thousands of town hall meetings during his long political career. "The only thing I ask people to do is be respectful," he said.

The Arizona Senator wasn't so optimistic about the future of bipartisanship among legislators in Washington. The prospects for immigration reform or financial regulatory reform appear dim, he said, because Democrats have failed to reach across the aisle since President Obama took office.

Thanks, PGalt. Mark Levin really ripped ‘em a new one on the “right to health care” falsehood.

"The only thing I ask people to do is be respectful"

Sure John, after all YOU and your cohorts in the House of Lords are exempt from this 0bamunist Centralized Health Care 'Plan', and YOUR bank accounts won't be probed by the IRS each month to confirm that you are in 'compliance'.

Here's some 'respect' for ya:

"You're a f--kin' traitor McCain, it would have been better for America if you had never come back from Vietnam."
