These guys are such idiots…Doctors removed McCain’s neck years ago.
Keep the Republi-fraggings going, boyz!
You meant spine, right?
Well, now we have a procedure for when you’re wooing the crazy constituency and some other speaker goes extra crazy with the threats of violence or the ethnic slurs or what have you—you claim you didn’t know who they were, blandly disagree with the sentiments and blame any seeming acquiescence on your habitual and extreme politeness. Problem solved, very tidy.
Just goes to show you can’t be crazy enough for the crazy.
This butthurt moran is a Ron Paul supporter, 'nuff said.
Biggs, the state Senate president, later told The Arizona Republic newspaper that he didn’t know Rhodes personally or even know who the Oath Keepers were.
OMG you have got to be kidding me. I’m no means an expert on these groups but even I know who these people are!
Besides, that excuse is lame in the days of Google - a 5 second search will give all the info you need to kow about it. Biggs is full of it.
As for Rhodes’ comments about McCain, Biggs told The Arizona Republic that he didn’t agree with the sentiment but didn’t think it was his place to interrupt the Oath Keepers founder’s speech.
Ummm, you didn’t have to interupt. You could have simply got the fuck up and left. That would have spoke volumes.
I’m all for disagreeing with McCain. I detest the guy because I can’t stand how bitter he’s become since getting his ass kicked by Obama in 2008. But there is no excuse for that type of talk towards him. NONE. And the State Senator should have been the first to call this type of rhetoric out. Lead by example.
A spokesman for McCain, Brian Rodgers, told the newspaper that the senator had no comment.
I don’t blame the spokesman; no comment is needed because what Biggs and the Oath Keepers did speaks for itself.
I’m sorry, but the only word for these folks–and so many of the other vicious racist homophobic tin-hat wearing idiots on the right–is scum.
What morans. Even if McCain were convicted of a capital offense, the Federal protocol calls for lethal injection, not hanging.
He didn’t know who the guy was but you don’t interrupt the founder of the Oath Keepers. If you don’t know who he is how do you know he is founder of Oath Keepers? Am I missing something?
It used to be that such a statement would get you a visit from law enforcement as well as resounding condemnation. Now…not so much.
An ear, nose and character specialist…
“he should be hung by the neck until dead”
The word is “hanged,” you gibbering moron.
Freudian slip?
I wonder if McCain understands the extent to which
his selection of Palin to be his running mate, and his failure to disown her rabid hostility toward normal American discourse, has led to his becoming the target of such venom?
Oathkeepers = Browshirts circa 1933.
" Oath Keepers, a loose-knit group of current and former law enforcement officials and military who pledge to defend the Constitution," This should read THEIR FASCIST INTERPRETATION of the Constitution.
Which goes: Constitution, 1st Ammendment, 2nd Ammendment, FULL STOP.
This is the dream of the Fascists running for the Republican Presidential Nomination.
Ever notice how they ALL look the same?
Baseball cap
Beard/mustache
Bald.
Overweight.
Clutching their Bibles and Guns.
You can spot one a mile away.
I just love to watch them eat their own.
Is calling for the lynching of a sitting U.S. senator a crime?
Real profile in courage, that guy, isn’t he?
