McShame Shouted Down At Latino Elected Officials Conference

[papapi]

Clone McShame was shouted down three different times today as he tried to deliver a 'speech' to the Latino Elected Officials Conference in Washington DC. Why doesn't this old fart just face the music and concede the election right now?

1. I just talked to a Republican at an Obama event and she said

she had realized that she must to do more than pray.

There's a fundamental groundshift underway.

[papapi]

8. I feel the ground shift more than any other time in my life.....

I've been voting since 1972 and this is the most volatile time I've seen in politics.

[patrice]

33. Everyone has been having a hard lesson about how arbitrary language is.

They've been lied to in more ways than just one. It's making them question what they know.

[Cha]

35. Well, you know what they say..

"God helps those who help themselves"..I don't know but it sounds good to me.

[skooooo]

50. meaning that.....?

She was saying that she feels she needs to actively campaign for Obama or something? Not sure I understand.

[msongs]

2. your title is WRONG- the crowd was shouting down war protestors NOT McCain nt

[blogslut]

6. Your assessment is wrong

He had to stop three times because female protesters stood up and shouted. It ruined his speech and any memory of his message was lost.

I consider that being shouted down.

Do you have a problem with war protesters? Or are you a fan of Johnny McSame?

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Good questions. The poster in question doesn't seem to have moved

beyond the contention of the primaries yet, judging from posting patterns.

[depakid]

13. The headline was equivocal

in a way worthy of Fox or the Post.

Do you have a problem with honesty?

McCain WAS NOT shouted down over issues of specific concern to Hispanics -as the OP implied and in fact McCain polls all too strongly with the demographic which will be a critical block of voters in November.

[papapi]

17. I implied no such thing. I stated what happened and where. That is all....

I also provided links to the story and video so anyone could see for themselves exactly what happened. You're brain must be equivocating in some fashion.

[depakid]

21. That's how it came across to me

And, for the record- I hope McCain is heckled about the war everywhere he goes, but I worry about his appeal to Hispanics in key states, based on his somewhat more sensible immigration stands (which actually are a bit "maverick" compared with the usual far right mouth foaming xenophobe).

[papapi]

26. If that's how it came across to you, maybe you should rethink your knee-jerk....

thought processes. I stated what and where as simply as possible. It's called getting the readers attention.

[berni_mccoy]

20. Wow, another disgruntled Hillary supporter. You guys need to move on.

[depakid]

22. You need to get over your knee jerk thought processes

and start critically thinking again.

[berni_mccoy]

32. You can apply THAT knee-jerk response to this post:

27. Nothing but Ignoreds for me

[Cha]

39. Hi sniffa..

I don't know if you're interested but a very nice DUer told me that if you want to see what an Ignored is saying or who they are(who knows one may want to "remove" them)..all you have to do is go to the Top of the OP's thread to "printer friendly" above "bookmarks" and click on.. voila!

[blogslut]

25. I have a problem with feigned outrage

Do tell, how would you post the headline?

[1Hippiechick]

40. "Do you have a problem with war protesters? " No, I ARE one! :)

[blogslut]

42. Cool

I worked with the peace movement back in the early 90's. It was a pretty tepid affair. I got kind of disillusioned when the whole thing started to resemble that scene in "Life of Brian" with the People's Front of Judea. Or was it the Judean People's Front?

Regardless. I can't do it anymore. I've got a personal history that looks bad in print. So, I stay home and play Internet guerilla.

Stay strong. Keep up the good work. :hi:

[papapi]

7. You are WRONG! The protestors were shouting down McCain. What an idiotic thing to say.

[JackORoses]

37. do you support McCain now?

lame.

[1Hippiechick]

46. Did you watch the video - at least one of the disrupters was Latino, waving a red banner....

[Cirque du So-What]

3. Does my heart good

to see McSame look as though he's ready to fucking snap. I hope he gets a similar reception at every single venue along the campaign trail. Maybe we'll have the pleasure of seeing that famous McNasty temper unleashed - preferably accompanied by some choice invectives.

[TheDonkey]

4. "awkward"...

[TheKentuckian]

11. I got on it late

so in like 7-10 minuets I saw two people have to be escorted out and McCain blow his nose the whole time he was asked a question.

The response was his entire platform, it took what? Two minuets?

McCain, once committed to the bulk of the neocon platform and perspective, becomes extremely dull and disingenuous. People were getting carried out and the audience seemed blah at best.

It was somewhat train-wreckish, except that instinct was to avert my attention instead of it being attracted.

This is his best format? Ehh...might fly against a 2000 version of Gore or a monotone Kerry but no way does he consistently win against a Bubba, an Obama, or Hillary.
Wexler would march him around like the Drill Sergent in Full Metal Jacket.

[butterfly77]

31. I was watching and there were four hecklers...

[blogslut]

5. That was enjoyable

Poor Johnny McSame. Those mean women totally killed his momentum.

[papapi]

10. Thanks for backing me up, up thread......

what is msongs problem? P.U.M.A.?

[blogslut]

24. Now you've gone and done it

You forced me to post the dreaded gifs:

[papapi]

28. Cute. Did I stir up the P.U.M.A. hornet shit pile?

[blogslut]

29. It doesn't take much to get them going

Plus I made the krazy kitty gif so I like to post it when I get the chance. :)

The ohnoz gif belongs to a true, yet unidentified god of the intarwebz.

[Cha]

38. FUPUMA :)

Party Unity My A$$! It's all about MOI..anybody knows that:evilgrin:

[1Hippiechick]

41. LOL. I think your post is tounge-in-cheek and absolutely hilarious! Total chaos!

:popcorn:

and I think there are a couple of you who are just having fun.....

[speedoo]

12. Excellent. McCain needs to be confronted every single day. nt

[Thrill]

14. He makes the weirdest facial expressions. Creepy. Much like Bush's smirk

[Raineyb]

36. Forgive me because I know this is going to sound picky but

With all the money that McSame has can't he do something about his teeth? Really they're almost brown and while I have no problem with brown it does not belong on the teeth.

Granted, insurance doesn't pay for teeth whitening but like I said he does have the money.

Sheesh!

Regards

[1Hippiechick]

44. his teeth? Really they're almost brown " They are Washington's original wooden choppers..n/t

[cbc5g]

15. I protested the war and support protesting BUT

I don't think it helps Obama when people disrupt his opponent.

The people in the audience were telling them to be quiet and go away.

[papapi]

23. Since McShame appears with unrestricted access rarely, I say seize every opportunity.

[1Hippiechick]

47. "I don't think it helps Obama when people disrupt his opponent.' Not supposed to. Freedom of

speech at its finest, IMHO. Disrupters reached a national audience, showing that not everyone drinks the Repuke Kool-Aid. And, it very obviously rattled McBomb. Just wish I could have better read his reaction.

[nsd]

16. The title of this thread is sort of misleading.

Just from reading it, I got the idea that the crowd shouted down McCain, possibly over "Latino" issues.

Only after watching the video did I understand that the shouting was by three anti-war protesters. The crowd was on McCain's side. The article describes them as trying to shout down the protesters.

[papapi]

19. The point is to read the article and/or watch the video....

not just glance over the headlines. Too bad it didn't deliver as much as promised, as some would like it.

[1Hippiechick]

45. Sorta 101, isn't it?

[FrenchieCat]

18. Ooh shit. He barely got to talk.

Good!

[papapi]

30. We've heard it all from * anyway. All McShame does is spin it.

[jenmito]

34. I hate to disagree, but the audience was booing and shouting down the protesters. n/t

[1Hippiechick]

49. Exactly - the disruption was caused by the protesters which is what I think most of us are cheering.

We're celebrating the disruption. And, I don't think the audience was successful in shouting down the protesters. We may just be talking semantics here......

[papapi]

51. Elementary, my dear Watson.

Duh!!! :hi: :shrug:

[1Hippiechick]

54. Not sure I understand your post. The poster said the audience was shouting down the protesters,

which sounded to me that she thought the disruption was due to the audience rather than the protestors, which was not the case at all.

[papapi]

55. Only trying to thank you for clarification. I'm the OP.

I was berated early out about the 'ambiguity' of my post. I didn't think it ambiguous. McShame was shouted down, it occurred at the LE&AO Conference. I don't know why some found that confusing. But thanks for clarifying to the other person. Hope I get a chance to shout the tired old geezer down!

[1Hippiechick]

56. You and me both....

I could have been in Raleigh when Shrub came through last week, but I had no desire to see him. After the hilarious broadcast of him hopping out of the plane/helicopter or whatever and waving to bystanders across the street--twice--and their totlaly ingoring him, I would have LOVED to have been in THAT crowd! LOL

[papapi]

59. I'm in Charlottesville. I'm going to shrub's 'speech' at Monticello on...

July 4th. I hope I don't get arrested. LOL

[papapi]

60. I'm in Charlottesville. I'm going to shrub's 'speech' at Monticello on...

July 4th. I hope I don't get arrested.

[1Hippiechick]

65. Making note to self to watch news from Charlottesville July 4 - look for protestor in the crowd

yelling, carrying a sign: DU ROCKS!
Or, if you decide to carry a sign, let me know will be on it so I can identify you (joking, of course - security will be tight)

[Lord Helmet]

43. cool video

:thumbsup:

[Arkana]

48. The man's like Bob Dole 2008.

Seriously, there is no enthusiasm for his candidacy whatsoever.

[senseandsensibility]

52. Why is McSame chewing at the very beginning of the video?

Right after the first heckle, he begins chewing maniacally, and it looks like he is actually eating something, not just chewing gum. And if it is gum, why would someone chew it in the middle of a major televised speech?

[papapi]

53. Horses crib when they're nervous, even dead ones. LOL!!!

[nc4bo]

57. i probably took this out of context but just listening to the abc clip....

where mccain says "...to love your country as i discovered in Vietnam, is to love your countrymen."

I know his POW experience is basically untouchable, i understand that however, it doesn't stop me from being angry that he can say this time after time after time and Michelle O says it 1 time and she's accused of being unpatriotic.

Good old double standards.

[FrenchieCat]

58. How come this only has 2 recs? and one his mine?

:shrug:

[papapi]

61. I give up. I thought I was the first to post the video...

maybe I'm on a bunch of ignore lists. I can get pretty fiery sometimes! Heh, heh.

[FrenchieCat]

62. You're doing good.

Folks sometimes forget what are is our priorities.

It happens.

We are getting back on track.

You see, We have to.

[salguine]

63. Because he'll be the next President.

Because the same people who stole the 2000 and 2004 elections will steal the 2008 election, and nobody will do a fucking thing about it. i wish I was wrong, but you just watch.

[papapi]

64. It's not gonna happen this time. You just watch. . .

They're not gonna steal it this time. It's not even gonna be close enough for the repukes to try and pull that crap.
