John McCain, who loves town halls so much that one time last summer he ORDERED Barack Obama to appear with him at 7,000 of them (and hopefully pay for them!), has “gone librul” again, now that his own party’s official anti-health reform strategy is to piss all over his favorite “American tradition” throughout August with loud catcalls and armpit farts. Why is John McCain so condescending toward “people from small towns” and their Constitutional right to act retarded at civic functions? [Twitter]
“Why is John McCain so condescending toward “people from small towns” and their Constitutional right to act retarded at civic functions?”
Because he saw the wonderful things those people did for him towards the end of his campaign.
Without disruption? Civility? Keep the plastic fetuses at home? My fellow Americans, THAT’S why we lost in Vietnam!
Town Hall meetings are a New England tradition. You know, the country where that Gates lunatic teaches.
Shooting people who disagree with you is an American tradition.
I actually read this post as a straw man thing saying ‘don’t stomp on the Brooks Brothers’ free speech.’ Just like conservatives love to say that liberals want to bring the fairness doctrine back, they love to think that the reason I roll my eyes at puffed up idiots mouthing off at healthcare debates, is that I want to inhibit free speech.
Do Wonkette readers have yellow teeth?
Does “HEGHHNNNGGH?” count as dispruption?
What’s the proper response to HEGNNGGGNHH anyway?
Is there some protocol?
Watching lots of porn and buying guns then stopping at Taco Bell and forgetting your diabetes medicine along with shooting hot people who won’t bang you are all apart of the American tradishun too SENATOR snob McCain trollope.

Not any more! We learned the secret!
Credit where it’s due for correct spelling and coherent sentence structure.
Someone get his secretary on the phone.
Why is John McCain so condescending towards right-wing stooges paid and bussed in by the insurance industry?
mightysea: I read it the same way myself, much in the “why are these supposedly tolerant liberals intolerant of birth certificate-waving, screeching lunatics?”
I think that quote should read “we should let everyone, even if they are poseurs hired by large insurance companies to protect their monopoly on health care at the expense of common folk who have to use the ER as their primary care doc because they can’t afford insurance, speak their mind, or at least the mind of the corporate overlords who hired them to attend said town meetings — even if we disagree!”
I was having fun watching the fats decry the free healthcare. The oldz are always ruining everybody’s fun.
Now that McCain has purposely handed the presidency to a Commie foreigner, his North Vietnamese programming has lapsed…so he’s free to be as liberal as he wants to be. Can Birkenstocks be far away?
Why is John McCain so condescending toward “people from small towns” and their Constitutional right to act retarded at civic functions?
Because they should get that sort of thing in at the monthly church potluck. Either that or McCain is just mad because he’s not the crankiest, craziest person at his town halls anymore.
I thought this issue was settled years ago during Dickie “Torquemada” Cheney’s reign. Just put the mofo’s in an approved “free speech zone” - about 10 miles away from the actual event.
And if you don’t like their t-shirts, arrest them. Also.
While the Fats are attaching loud phonation to their mouth breathing Sen. McCain will search the stage for Puddles.
RoscoePColtraine: The oldz are just upset because they’re afraid that Obama wants the government to come in and ruin Medicare. And then send them all off to FEMA camps where they’ll be euthanized by gay illegal immigrants from Puerto Rico.
Yea, just wait until a fuckton of birthers show up and disrupt one of your town halls, WALNUTS. Then you can tell me exactly how successful that whole FUCK YA FREEDUMS OV SPEACH thing goes, m’kay?
2009: Mock outrage from the Right when they are called on the carpet for busing in a bunch of teabaggers to disrupt town halls.
2005: Real Outrage from the Right that anyone would question the President when he had the Secret Service drag out anyone that dared wear an anti-Bush T-shirt to his town halls.
What a different an election cycle makes.
What Would Sarah Do?
It’s like a return of his running mate’s rallies. Only, I think it’s actually less shameful to yell “kill the nigger!” than it is to yell “no socialized medicine!” when you’ve got uninsured children at home. Being against your own (and your family’s) interests is always the most pitiful kind of delusion.
Here’s another great town hall meeting trick. (My self-governing town does it every March.) Call for adjournment, and then wait for the opposition to wander out the door. Then quickly call for resumption of the meeting. Really weeds out the newbies.
Hooray For Anything: And lest we forget the mandatory gender reassignment, which immediately preceeds the humane euthanization of said oldz.
One of my brilliant co-workers told me that we will lose our Federal health insurance because of “this thing”. I didn’t even try to explain anything to her- I would have better luck explaining it to my dog(who is dead as you may remember).
Meghan did great on FOX this morning - hope she is having fun in Sturgis with all the bikers – be safe!

@SenJohnMcCain
And b don’t correct or chastise people when they call a candidate a BITCH or yell out things like KILL HIM. Yeah, John McCain, protector of American traditions (like marrying for money)
Why doen’t that McCain guy run for president if he is so smart? Huh?
What a maverick!
What, so now we’re not supposed to scream our fat asses off about shit that we don’t understand, or even really give a fuck about, to a bunch of people from different states than us, like total raging assholes? Fuck, what am I supposed to do with the rest of my August?
How long before Walnuts flips out on everyone?
THERE’S NO FUCKIN PLEASING YOU PEOPLE HENNNNGGH!!!!!! I FREAKIN GET IT FROM BOTH SIDES, I’M A WAR HERO DAMMIT!
someone get my c**t wife on the phone.
mightysea: As in: “Don’t pile on the wabbit. Don’t pile on the wabbit. Don’t pile on the wabbit.”?
Express their views without disruption? Like the disruption of yanking back the microphone from your elderly lady-questioner when she suggests your opponent in a Muslim?
“Mr. McCain, what do you think of ladies who won’t take off their snake hats?”

Jim89048: I sent in a tip about this. I see plots within plots here…. Manson’s plan was to start a race war… will Squeaky get hings rolling by trying to succeed where she failed so miserably all those years ago??
iwillsavethispatient: Heh. The only good thing he did the entire campaign.
Single payer
Premium free
Medicare for all
Big Pharma on diet
Zero insurance profit
No deductible & no co-pay
azw88: Stop with the conspiracies! That’s bullshit.
We’ve authorized both Christian mercenaries and the military to operate in this country, Posse Comitatus has been loosened up - and the President can now take control of one state’s National Guard to invade another state - and KBR’s working on the relocation camps. So this’ll never happen.
I hate you conspiracy theorists. You just make trouble.

The gov’mint can have my twinkies and cheezy poofs when they pry them from my cold, pudgy hands…
Darkness: Seeing as how it’ll take an obese individuals body forever to “cool off”, it’ll be from your lukewarm, stubby fingers.

OUCH!
Meanwhile, on the Palin front:
New hot-in-love couple Sarah Palin and Larry Craig rolled into Sturgis late Wednesday night on some new, shiny Harleys, and they were an immediate hit at The Buffalo Chip. Craig took tons of pictures of some bare-chested women, Palin was wearing a sexy leopard-skin halter top and short shorts, and they even cranked out some mean versions of “Ten Seconds To Love” and “Shout at the Devil” at the Biker Kareoke Contest at The Whild Hoggs bar. Palin and Craig told folks that they listened to a lot of Motley Crue during their ride from Iowa to Sturgis. They said that they’re heading to Burning Man next, where they’ll host a Bikers and Politicians Community at the annual bohemian arts gathering in the desert.
What does a Panamanian know about Amerikan traditions?
