McCain Heckled by Keystone Protestors
John McCain delivered a nuclear non-proliferation speech this morning in Denver and was met with anti-war hecklers in four separate interruptions.
The first protester carried a spray-painted bed sheet and half-heartedly chanted "Support the troops, end the war," before being escorted away with no acknowledgment from McCain.
The second set, giggling and fumbling with their sign, elicited a response from the Senator. "It's not too important but I have town hall meetings all the time, I will be having one tomorrow, where people are allowed to come and state their views, and we exchange them." The grinning pair were then escorted away, crumpled sign in hand, "endless war" chants drowned out by the crowd chanting "John McCain."
No sooner had the Senator remarked on the previous hecklers than a third protest pair rose to the occasion. Once more unable to unfurl their message, the pair were quickly drowned out by the crowd. "This may turn into a longer speech than you had anticipated," quipped Senator McCain, and then continued more seriously, "and by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq, my friends. I will never surrender in Iraq."
The final disruption came from a man with no sign, no bedsheet, and no rhymes. He did, however, have his own videographer. Perhaps he was expecting a "Don't Tase Me, Bro" moment.
Senator McCain's temper has been the subject of much speculation recently. He certainly had an opportunity to display that temper today, but took a moment to turn the heckler's foibles to his advantage. The comic quartet of uprisings, in the end, helped the Senator more than they hurt him.

YO! BRO DITCH THE DEMS!!
Yo! Bro Ditch the Dems, and break the self applied rusty chains of self slavery to the Democratic Party.
It is time to really seek the fresh air of "FREEDOM" and "INDEPENDENT VOTER STATUS".
Look, Bro, you have writters like Tommy Christopher and his surrogate self Mr. Sandy Clark, who are totally blind to the "Code Word's" and "Code Phrases" that the Clinton Campaign has been using all along in their "Right To The White House".
The Old Civil Rights Leaders, no longer have the power that they had once in the Democratic Party, individuals such as (D-SC) US/Rep. Jim Clyburn no longer have the "Eye of The Tiger", but have become more the "House Cat" of the Democratic Party.
How many times is the "Racist" Democratic Super-Delegates going to change the game, move the goal post, in their efforts to get this moved into the Democratic Convention where they will overturn the nomination of (D-IL) US/Senator Barrack "Barry" Hussein Obama? Do you really believe that this Saturday 31st of May they don't intend to once again "Kick The Can" down the street?
YO! BRO! Don't you think that the number will once again change from (2025) to (2210) and even higher if necessary? What about "You don't talk to a man about rope in his home, who has survived a hanging" (Source" FDR)? Isn't that the same as the Clinton Assassination comment?
YO! BRO! It's time to seek the "FREEDOM OF BEING INDEPENDENT", we are (35%) of the vote in this country, and we don't nearly need either party as much as they need us.
YO! BRO! The pigment of your skin don't matter, what matters is your "FREEDOM OF TAUGHT", and your own determination to make it on your own terms, there is no fixed game out here, no moving the goal posts, no kicking the can, no changing the rules, no "Code Words", No "Code Phrases", No being a "Judas" if you don't fall in line.
YO! BRO! your not leaving a party, your leaving party slavery. It's not The Black Guy Can't Get Elected, it's there is "NO REASON" the Black Guy by proving himself can be stopped from his prize!
YO! BRO! Your much better than the Democratic Party deserves, let the Clinton's, Tommy Christiophers and Mr. Sandy Clarks keep it, your better the lot.
YO! BRO! Follow the (35%+) rest of us!

An Army or Marine Corps sergeant with four years of experience makes $27,000 a year, plus combat pay of $225 a month, according to the 2008 Military Authorization Act, which increased basic pay rates 3.5 percent from a year ago.
Soldiers authorized to live off-base also receive a housing allowance that this year starts at about $500 a month, 7.3 percent higher than in 2007, paid even when they are deployed. Counting the stipends, they still fall short of the 2007 median U.S. household income of $59,224 as measured by the National Association of Realtors in Chicago.

So now we have another lie from Obama re an uncle this time?
Sickening.
Democrat for McCain.
Charles Fowler9:41PMMay 27th 2008
I'm going to vote for Sen Obama so I'm not afraid of what Sen McCain has to say. There are only 2 reasons for these protestors. They just want to get on TV or they are afraid of what Sen McCain has to say. This is a country of free speech. Let both sides say what they have to say and then let everybody decide which one they support. When they execise what they call free speech in this manner they are depriving other people of there right to free speech.
VINCE9:42PMMay 27th 2008
Scenes like these clowns protesting at a speech by Sen. McCain are just going to elicit sympathy for him, and will move middle-of-the-road voters in his direction. Left-wing neophytes, such as these protesters have killed the Democratic Party's chances in far too many elections, and the extreme left is out to do it again...the MOVE ON.org crowd does not represent regular working class Americans, and antics such as these are not going to be looked upon kindly by these critical voters. Soros and his ilk had better rein these brats in before they, just like the Hippies and the No Nukes groups before them, cost the Democratic Nominee this year's election.

The best U.S. Presidential candidates in this election got censored due to Zionist infrastructure. Please read "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion". These are genuine despite government cover ups.

If you care about your economic and social freedom, please write in my candidate for U.S. President in November: Ron Paul, web site: www.ronpaul2008.com. He will expose the institutions who are controlling power and ruining the world for all of us.
As long as we have candidates like John McCain in power, we will surely be faced with the Mark of the Beast (A.K.A. Verichip). Police, military are already using it throughout North America.

A long time ago war was fought a lot of great lives were lost and a paper was drafted that said All Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among theses are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. No one has rights superior to those of anyone else. We are born with these rights, we do not get them from the government whatever powers the governments has comes from us.
It seems we have lost our way and it just seems to get worse and worse. It has been a long time since I have heard people talk about this piece of paper let alone a politician. I say that I would vote for a politician that believes in that piece of paper the politician who does not fight back and forth amongst themselves worse than bully's on a playground. I would vote for the politician who is fighting for that piece of paper that protects my liberties. I would not care what color or faith or planet that politician was from. I just happened to find that man and he is fighting for that paper, our Constitution of the United States of America. That is the politician that will get my vote and my Thanks. Thank You Ron Paul.

There is something called Freedom of Speech. Obviously these people pulling down the signs have never experienced non-violent political dissent. Who the hell do they think they are touching those people's property like that. The point of Freedom of Speech is not, 'you can say what you want as long as I agree with it'. These people make me sick. I mean damn, John McCain makes me sick and even he recognized that these people have a right to speak their mind. These people will face concequences for their peaceful demonstration of dissent, they know this before they do it, it is their choice, their right to do so. What the hell is going on in this country? When fellow Americans are shunned for speaking their mind, we have truly lost our way. I need to dry the tears from my eyes before I go throw up

OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR BARAK OBAMA:
Dear Senator Obama!
You and the members of your campaign deserve congratulations. You have out-maneuvered the Clinton campaign. You have raised record amounts of campaign contributions. You have a majority of the delegates selected in the primaries --- especially in caucus states. Your campaign has turned-out such huge crowds at your campaign events that you have been compared to a rock star. Even though you have failed to win enough selected delegates to cinch the nomination, you have managed to line-up the Democratic Party leadership behind your candidacy with the argument that you have won more selected delegates than Clinton. Congratulations are in order.
But what I want to know, Senator Obama, is what are you going to do now? I have read and seen incredibly ugly blogs filled with "hate-talk" against both you and Senator Clinton. While I do commend you for your statements of admiration for Senator Clinton, both campaigns have remained relatively silent on the gutter-level attacks by your supporters against your opponent. You have said that you have a new vision for change in America, one which is inclusive. Well, how are you going to change the incredible animosity between the large numbers of Obama supporters and Clinton supporters? How are you going to re-unite the Democratic Party? All I have heard is that you are confident you will not lose New York or California (which is probably true), two states "won" by Senator Clinton.
The general election will require a completely different set of skills, and a different level of political mastery. Given the consequences of your own religious affiliations, how can you possibly convince rural and suburban blue collar voters that you understand that their religious beliefs are interwoven into the fabric of their community, social and personal lives? How can you convince individuals for whom owning a gun and hunting is a family tradition dating back to the days of the settlers that they will not be disenfranchised by an Obama Administration? Do you think your eloquent oratory and huge crowds will win them over?
By referencing the strong Democratic vote in New York and California, it appears that you intend to rely on McCain the Republican to gain the grudging support --- and vote --- of Clinton's supporters. If that is your strategy, I must tell you, Senator Obama, that I think you are dead wrong. Despite the high stakes of this election, voters who are really turned-off will stay home and not vote. A large chunk of Clinton's supporters will, if things remain as they are today, feel completely disenfranchised by your nomination as the Democratic Party candidate. They do not feel that you are capable of adequately representing their interests.
I hope you are giving these questions and issues your very serious consideration, Senator Obama. I am waiting for you to convince me that I should vote for you.
Warmest Regards!

John McCain nor any other Bush Hug-up will ever get my vote. Their business as usual has degraded our country..I don't want another minute of the status quo'..4 more years of it would surely show us the abyss!
edslough6:53PMJun 3rd 2008
HILLARY CLINTON CAN DEFEAT McCAIN IN FLORIDA, OHIO, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, WEST VIRGINIA AND WIN ELECTION! OBAMA CANNOT!
McCain's promise to continue waging war in Iraq until we "win" is certainly called into question by these revelations by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. The Bush administration actively deceived the American people, Congress, the U.N., and
individuals within Bush's admin.such as Colin Powell. To continue squandering the scarce financial resources of the U.S. in order to "save face" is utter stupidity.
The Iraq War has driven the U.S. into a recession which Warren Buffet says will be very long and deep. Our grandchildren will be taxed to pay-off the huge federal deficit created by Bush with his war. And the people of Iraq received better treatment than
Americans caught in Hurricane Katrina. The U.S. was dropping "meals ready to eat" and bottled water to the people of Iraq at the same time Katrina victims were left starving, and dying from dehydration, in New Orleans.
Bush should be impeached for his wreckless disregard for the well-being of the American people!!!
EASLOUGH7:54PMJun 3rd 2008
At the beginning of this primary election campaign, no one anticipated that caucuses with the participation of a very small number of voters (i.e., many in solidly "red" states) could become so
important to the outcome of the primaries. Part of the reasoning behind having the candidates agree not to campaign in FL or MI was to "force" then to change their primary dates. However, that didn't happen. In caucus states, groups of several hundred
voters were "out-shouted" by enthusiastic Obama campaign workers, and are being used to "represent" hundreds of thousands of votes.
The polls show Obama losing to McCain in FL, WV, and OH. Clinton is ahead of McCain in polls in those three crucial "swing" states. Obama may be competitive in PA, but Clinton's lead over McCain in polls there is much stronger. And Clinton is competitive in KY and AR. Obama has a real problem with a significant part of the traditional Democratic Party base --- women, seniors, blue collar workers and Jews. CLINTON 08!!!
e.a.slough10:13PMJun 3rd 2008
CLINTON SHOULD TAKE NOMINATION BATTLE TO CONVENTION!!!
Barack Obama does not yet have the nomination. The Democratic super-delegates were created to react to the "electability" of the nominee who has amassed the most delegates from Democratic primaries, but who has not won a sufficient number of delegates to take the nomination. Think George McGovern, who won only one electoral vote in the general election. While Obama has certainly mastered the process by which
"committed" delegates are selected, he is far behind Clinton in electoral votes. Pollsters have concluded that Obama IS NOT COMPETITIVE with McCain in Florida, Ohio and West Virginia. Can he lose all three of these states and still carry the general election? The electoral vote math is what should be analyzed before "super" delegates annoint a winner.
I do not think that Obama has "weathered" the controversy over the Rev. Wright. It momentarily subsided as a decisive issue in public opinion polls. But we have all seen the polls turn on a dime. We just now are assessing the remarks by yet another Reverend at Obama's church: Rev. Pfleger. The emergence of the Rev. Wright on THREE publicly televised appearances repeating the offensive remarks which dominated the 30 second videos on TV have raised serious doubts about Obama's veracity and judgement. This is a man who was very influential over Obama for 20 years. Does it make any sense that the radical views of a man such as Wright, who had the "audacity" to re-televise and renew his controversial remarks, could remain "hidden and unknown" to Obama for 20 years? Come on ... We all know that Obama is extremely intelligent. Clinton was right to challenge his explanations: "While it is true that we cannot choose our relatives, we can and do choose our spiritual advisors." Of course, Hillary was slammed by the media for her accurate remarks. At this point, the American people will undoubtedly have many questions in their minds about Obama's church, and his judgements.
And Obama's remarks about blue collar workers clinging to "guns and religion" ensured decisive victories for Hillary Clinton in West Virginia and Kentucky. Can the Democrats prevail without the traditional blue collar support? This voting block will determine the victor is in the "swing" states which are necessary for a Democratic victory. If Hillary ceased her primary campaign tomorrow, would those alienated blue collar voters turn out in record numbers for Obama? Or would they just stay at home rather than vote, or wait to vote for McCain in the general election? Hillary can certainly not be held responsible for Obama's regrettable remarks. The media picked-up on the comments, repeated them over and over, and then seemed surprised when voters' opinions are affected by those comments. As a well-seasoned politician, of course Hillary identified blue collar alienation and worked to win their support. But it was Obama's remarks, and the media's reporting practices, which created the alienation in the first place.
Why would voters vote for McCain over Obama despite their huge differences in policies regarding the Iraq War, health care and the economy? Because McCain is a genuine American hero ... because McCain is known to be a person who frequently refused to follow the Republican party line and often reached across party lines and who has pledged to appoint Democrats to his administration ... and because it is unlikely that McCain will have the muscle to get objectionable legislation through a likely Democratically-controlled Congress. And, most importantly, Clinton and McCain are well-known entities whose values, ideals, political histories, and short-comings have been a part of the political landscape with which Americans are familiar, and Obama is not.
Why should Hillary discontinue her historic campaign? Her campaign (as Obama's) is registering record numbers of new voters. She's winning in the "swing" states --- OH, PA, WV, FL --- where the outcome of the election will be determined. She has the strongest appeal to voters who also find things to like about McCain, but who are alientated from Obama.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS SAY HE IS THE "CHANGE" CANDIDATE yet they are still out heckling his opponents. The term "lying hypocrites" quickly comes to mind.
AND OBAMA IS SUCH A LIAR. Yesterday he claimed his grandfather helped liberate Auschwitz... which in truth was liberated by Russia.
So today he said tried to say he meants his American uncle liberated Buchwald... but his mother is an only child. lol
So a few hours later it was his GREAT-UNCLE who helped liberate a SUB-camp at Buchwald. By the time we get the truth it will be that his nanny put out a fire at his lemonade stand at the bottom of his driveway. LOLOL
Can you say lying "sniper fire hypocrite" Obama Sweetie???
