McCain Heckled During University Of Denver Speech: "Endless War" (VIDEO)

McCain gave a speech today at the University of Denver where he addressed the issues of nuclear security and nuclear proliferation. Anti-war protesters interrupted his speech, however, chanting "endless war, endless war," before they were escorted out. The crowd quickly jumped into the fray, trying to drown out the protesters with chants of "John McCain, John McCain."

Neodems?

Yea right, nice try.

Your posting attempts to take the identity of the failed policies from the Republican neo-conservative right and tries to brand Democrats with the "Neo" lable.

Please make up your mind. I thought we democrats were offering the same old progressive, left-wing solutions. This is nothing "neo" or new.

But then, I kind of like the term NeoDem. It has the refreshing ring of "change" to it.

New, Neo, Fresh, Different, Vibrant, Democrat.

Not Neo-con Bush, Chaney, McCain, Rove, Failure, War, Debt, Foreclosure, Terror, Torture.

[yngcelt]

OK, let me see if I can make this as simple as I can for you and I'll try to use small words so you don't get lost:
Neodems are the new generation of democrats who no longer hold to the more traditional values and beliefs that the democrats of the earlier generations held to. You know, like rights for everyone, not just their own party members, behaving in respectful manners and using peaceful protests and not violent uprisings (think Martin Luther King Jr.), believing in protecting our children and not murdering them in the third trimester or putting them at risk by defending the so-called "rights" of pedophiles to have their privacy. You know, small details like that.

[LafnBacstage]

Oh gee, let me take a smart pill so I can grasps what you are trying to tell my poor inferior democratic mind.

Your attempt to brand democratic values to the failed policy of the republican neo-cons just doesn't hold water.

The Republicans sacrificed their conservative values for the fascist imperialistic modalities of Project for the New American Century, which by the way is well documented and demonstrated through the failed Bush/Chaney administration.

Simply because you say so does not mean that the Democrats are following suit.

Show me the Neodem manifesto.

Your illusion of a new breed of democrat based on "murdering them [children] in the third trimester or putting them at risk by defending the so-called "rights" of pedophiles to have their privacy" is simply a right wing-nut concoction.

However, there are new democrats on the scene. They are more aggressive, demanding of truth, intolerant of oppression, war, torture and the erosion of American civil liberties. The are now speaking up and using the same tactics that the Republicans have been using via Fox, Limbauch and Hannity. The difference is, they don't have to lie or use truthiness to get the point across. The just point to Bush and say, "See, we told you so."

Heckling anyone is the last refuge of mental midgets.

[marco34la]

Whether it's Clinton, Obama or McCain, I think it's just wrong for people (kids) to interrupt someone who is trying to get his/her message out there. Some girl yelling at Obama or Clinton saying that they're murdering babies (pro-choic­e)... is not going to change Obama or Clinton's position on the subject. So the outburst is a disruption and rude. I think the same is true here.

[Okieborn]

marco34la,
Why would anyone want to listen to Mccain !!
We have listened to his Twin Brother for eight yrsl
Same old Crap Warmed Over !1
THANKS BUT NO THANKS !!!

[editor]

End this war; but he might have well yelled out "Endless War" as well......­..

[Lib2daBone]

Wow.... People shouting "John McCain", John McCain". Do these people actually think that total nuclear war is a good idea? Very scarry.. that people like this are so MISINFORMED. Sure, you may say that I'M the one who is misinformed, but if you have ever had the occasion to smell large numbers of dead bodies after a tragedy, you become acutely aware that war is not healthy for little children or other living things. News Flash: " When you die, you are dead for a long time! " I know we are all gonna die.. no one gets out of here alive... but do we have to travel to the end of the road in the EXPRESS LANE?

[CocteausTwin]

His "left" eye is really giving him problems.

Here's a more complete video:

Every time that Obama supporters try to disrupt McCain events, he reacts with grace and humor. I hope these videos get out more. McCain's poll numbers will probably go up as more people see this video.

[EndianaDOTcom]

Have you noticed hecklers tend to be "free-speech" liberals?

When was the last time a group of conservative Republicans disrupted the speech of a Democrat?

[lostonbridgetofuture]

"dont taze me bro!!"

[Merckx]

Because they love this country and care about the direction we are headed.
They actually get off their ass and out from in front of their computers and do something.
Oh, they are such bad people!

[FirstShirt]

Right, they are such supporters of free speech.

[LafnBacstage]

Dig This!

The National Guard recruiters came to my 9 year olds boy scout meeting today with a rock climbing wall and DVDs. They gave out ribbons to the fastest climbers.

When asks about the war, they told the kids that they don't fight the war, they just come in and clean up afterwards.

They are already recruiting for McCain's endless war. Think about it. Do you really want your children and grandchildren fighting Bush's war for oil?

[meanguy]

hyperbole much?

[frankifrost]

DOES THE EXPRESSION
HITLER YOUTH
RING A BELL ? ! ! !

[LafnBacstage]

Frankinfrost,

I don't think of my kid as part of the Hitler Youth Brigade. Even at his young age saw through the scam. He brought it to my attention. The point here is that the concept of endless war has the armed forces marketing to tweens (4th & 5th graders). This has got to stop. The military used to market to high school kids and young adults, now its the youngest and most impressionable children they target. What kind of future are we promising our kids? That their greatest aspiration is to grow up and be a tool for the ruling elite's thirst for oil?

A vote for McCain is a vote for endless war, fear and terror.

[paulbikes]

hahaha!

john mcsame!
john mcsame!
john mcsame!

I have no doubt that obama will gain the nomination and the white house, any sane person can agree to this like it or not. At this point it's just first rate entertainment.

[Stargazer51]

Should be pretty easy to unfurl McCain's combover come October if a single protester stops the old man in his tracks. Respect for this POW? This Veteran? This bottom of the barrel Mishipman? This piece of crap from Congress who would deny veterans the same benefit he received on the front end of his tours of duty, ... when he went to Annapolis? "Keep them in until they are all worn out?", ... is that what you believe Senator McCain?

Obama will eat this old fool for lunch in the debates to come in the Fall!

[Raymondf]

Non-Issue no comment.

[yngcelt]

This video is further proof that the claims of the neodems that their civil liberties are endangered or nonexistent and/or that President Bush acts like a dictator are completely crap! Imagine what would happen in Cuba to people who did this to someone that Castro supported. Maybe after the beating and torture they could seek some of that wonderful "free" and "high quality" medical care that Michael Moore bullshi... oops, I mean "spoke" about in his little propgan...­oops, sorry again I mean "movie".
What do you think would happen to protesters like this in say, oh I don't know, Venezuela? Do you think Chavez would allow this kind of behavior to go unpunished? I'm sure such protesters would have had no fear of punishment in that wonderful utopia that Sean Penn told us about also known as "pre-war Iraq". Because we all remember how forgiving and supportive Saddam was of people's right to speak out against their government.

[PoliticJunkie]

Your argument is filled with gross oversimplification and hyperbole which shows how little you know about that which you speak.

1.Moore wasn't advocating turning the US into Cuba, but advocating a health care system like the one in Cuba, Canada, or France.

2.No one is saying that Bush has single-handedly destroyed all civil liberties. The problems that people raise are about certain specific issues such as a right to privacy and a right to cast a vote without having it tampered with.

[yngcelt]

HAHAHAHAHA
Now who's "oversimplifying"? When it comes to hyperbole and oversimplification look no further than you neodems and your little chants and blogs.
"McCain means an endless war."
"McCain is the same as Bush"
"Me no like eat meat!"
Tell me, do any of you actually think for yourself or do you simply goosestep behind whichever liberal is yelling loudest or whichever celebrity says something you like to hear?
At least we conservatives think for ourselves and have the respect and dignity to listen to what the other side has to say and then politely debate it rather than yelling and screaming in the middle of the street or in tne middle of a presentation like the liberal village idiots in our country!

[yngcelt]

And see if you can wrap your little mind around this concept: in a socialized medical system, what legal rights do you have when a surgeon screws up and you are crippled or a family member of yours dies? What legal recourse do you have if the delivery room personnel screw up and either cause the death of or cripple your newborn baby like in the case of Dennis Quaid's newborn? Sue the government? Hah! See what kind of regulations will be in place to protect doctors in that kind of system!

[HippieChick]

"Anti-war protesters interrupted his speech, however, chanting "endless war, endless war..."

I believe there is something screwy going on with "polls." I live in hardcore hard-right TEXAS, and other than my elderly died-in-the-wool republican mother, there are few people I have recently encountered who support a continuation of our nation's recent spiraling downward experience. If the people in the land of Bush and Delay refuse to support the republican platform of perpetual destruction, I question the professed strength of McBush. It makes more sense to me that the nation may be divided into thirds for each candidare, with two thirds being against a continuation of the republican status quo.

[marco34la]

LOL... well that's highly optimistic thinking. I do seriously doubt that 2/3rds of the nation feels like you. 50% of the population that voted in Bush -- are people who care most about
"family values" conservative religious nuts. I think they would rather have someone that would uphold that platform than anyone else. To that end, as witnessed by the huge Obama losses in
Kentucky and W Virginia, I think that same 50% would never vote in a black man who has no experience to be their boss.

[MalloMel]

Well, I hope they have fun with the coming recession. They can thank their vote for Bush (twice) for all that fun that they are about to have. Filler up!

[frankifrost]

HIPPIECHICK
FORGIVE ME BUT,
YOU ARE SHOWING YOUR NAIVETE.
"THE MEDIA IS THE MESSAGE."
THIS IS A FANCY WAY OF SAYING THAT
THE MEDIA DOESN'T DELIVER THE "NEWS",
IT IS THE "NEWS"
(IT INVENTS SO-CALLED REALITY).
TO STATE IT ANOTHER WAY,
"INSTEAD OF ART IMITATING LIFE,
IT HAS BECOME
"LIFE IMITATING ART[IFICE]"

Dear old ma. Bless her heart.
