Posted on September 27, 2010 at 1:02pmI love the “Do I look undocumented?” t-shirt this man was wearing. Someone should have told him that the State of Arizona doesn’t require documents to prove that you have a brain.

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 2:36pm@COFX…t-shirt read “Do I look unclassified”. Man or woman…seems many on this blog really can’t tell.

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 12:56pmI love to see these idiots who take their hard-won American liberty so for granted that they think they can do anything they want. Here’s a tip for all you loudmouth Lefties out there: Do NOT physically charge ANYONE who is surrounded by professional body guards. Actually, I hope you choose not to take my advise.

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 12:09pmI’m not a McCain fan, but I’d sure like to have been the one to knock this lady on her butt! “This is how peace activists get treated.” Peace activist my patooty. I don‘t think it was so much that she was tackled but more that she couldn’t walk backward when the security guy was pushing her out of the way. She just fell on her backside. Oh, but I would have liked to have helped. I hate loud-mouthed people who are such morons!!

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 12:03pmI am tired of these Code Pink and anti-war a’holes claiming some special status for their protests. They feel because they are female they can physically assault with signs, fruit, pies etc and that they are entitled to a “non-response”.
Too damm bad…I am waiting for the day that some candidate or politician grabs the Code Pinker by the hair and throttles her as he would do to a guy in the same position.

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 12:01pmI thought she was acting dangerously and it was not excessive. I also think it looked like she lost her balance more than the cop intentionally tackled her. I don’t think people should be allowed to get that close to a candidate in a threatening way- any candidate. There is a difference between freedom of speech and deliberate physical confrontation.

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 2:09pmShe was definitely taken down. Maybe a little excessive. She should be pushed back for sure but not to that extent.
Report Post »Oh and the problem with Arizona (I live in Tucson) is that we had the equivalent of a used car salesman run against McCain in the primary. If there had been a candidate of substance against McCain, McCain would have been out. He spent 20 million to stay in the game. Don’t worry though… the Democrat candidate has about as little substance as a human can have. “I like turtles!”

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 12:08pmShe was advancing and she wasn’t exactly tackled…sorry. she fell over as she was being pushed back. Tackled is a slightly harsh description, at least if you’ve played football. That was anything but a tackle. Also, based on the aggressiveness of the protesters being bussed in by Reid at the no show debate, i’d say security should be heightened. These are the type of people who don’t exactly play by the fair and decent protest rules. Sorry, just calling as I see it!

Of course they are morons as well… but what message did she manage to get across? She worked her way up there, got on camera and got the world’s attention, and all I heard was “warmonger” which is so cliché it has no positive effect.
People tune that crap out. Nobody cares. Same goes for the tired old idiotic chant ending with “has got to go” that the crowd was falling back on. It’s worn out, useless tripe that only makes people look like idiots.
She blew it by looking an immature, slogan-chanting nut. She could have made a real impact just by quoting the man.

Posted on September 27, 2010 at 3:18pmActually it is standard security procedure (and mild response) if an individual continually attempts to breach the security cordon. While one my agree or disagree with McCain, he is a sitting Senator. Try the same action with anyone who has a security detail and watch what happens.
