 McCain Acceptance Speech Interrupted, Made HilariousPosted on Sep 5, 2008
There are three great moments in this short video of McCain’s acceptance speech. First, a Code Pink demonstrator interrupts McCain’s speech and gets dragged out to chants of “U.S.A.!” Then, McCain fumbles and makes an antiquated tech-related joke about static. Finally, McCain delivers his speech in front of a blue screen. Stephen Colbert, eat your heart out. We can only hope that “The Colbert Report’s” “Make McCain Exciting Challenge” hasn’t lost any of its steam. In the challenge, viewers are asked to insert video behind McCain as he speaks in front of a green screen last June. YouTube:

All of this appears a bullshit tactic. Remember, when right wing Hillary campaign people had supposed “protesters” tell her to “iron a shirt”. It’s BS.
Yet, Palin gets her “hockey moms” to hilariously indict herself as a pitbull, talk about something backfiring....LOL ....did they REALLY believe this was going to go over big..?
Then, McCain gets his “code pink protester”. What a pile of shit. Did you see how he could hardly read the teleprompter to spit out “his response”. There are days when I truly believe that the Repugs are attempting to kill us via publicity stunts gone bad.

Do you know the difference between commanding a unit in the military and politics?
Report thisThe audience isn’t under your command!
Too many times, I have seen McCain stutter/stumble or whatever in doing the one thing he needs to concentrate on now - communicate. My point is, how lucid will he be if he has to do two things at once, say nuclear arms proliferation and AL-Qa’ida style groundhog hunting, not to mention give a speech that same day. I would never vote for the right-wing religious relegates of irrationality and Hitler style personality cults. But, even if I were not against put the likes of Evangelicals, creationists, Pat Robertson or Rick Warren that close to the seat of power, I would never vote for a party that has continually forsaken the middle income bracket, for cheap labor.

President Bush has said: “The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper.”
Report thisI guess the police in St. Paul, consider our Bill of Rights is just another “goddamned piece of paper.” Otherwise, how could the police arrest members of the press?

Just like the tree falling in the forest, If a protester shouts and the corp media doesn’t report it, it didn’t make a sound.

“First, a brave CodePink demonstrator interrupts McCains speech and gets dragged out to chants of U.S.A.!”

Ask yourself, how would you have reacted if Obamas speech had been interrupted by a protester? Free Speech demands allowing those that you might despise to make statements that can be rebutted at a later time and venue.

McCain jokes heard on NPR this afternoon:
John McCain goes to a campaign stop at a nursing home. He walks up to an elderly lady resident of the home and says, “Do you know who I am?” The lady answers, “No, but if you go to the nurses’ station, they can tell you.”
A reporter asks McCain who will answer the phone at 3AM if he is elected president. McCain says, “It’ll be me, ‘cause I’ll have to get up at least once an hour to take a piss anyway.”

The mainstream media has completely overlooked the presence of protesters at last night’s RNC speeches. Even the cameras only panned briefly and then quickly drew away from what was actually the most honest expression of free speech in the auditorium. The protesters outside barely got a mention either. Surely all of the American public (not just those who read non-mainstream media) has a right to know that there are people dedicated and determined enough to risk their own safety to challenge the glitzy, fake, circus that has gone in in St Paul this week.
