McCain Jeered At Town Hall After Opposing Mass Deportation

[DonViejo]

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) got an earful from his constituents in his home state while defending his bipartisan immigration plan at a town hall.

According to the Associated Press, an "angry crowd" reacted negatively as McCain described his proposal to grant a path to citizenship for many of the country's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. From their writeup:

“There are 11 million people living here illegally,” he said. “We are not going to get enough buses to deport them.”

Some audience members shouted out their disapproval.

One man yelled that only guns would discourage illegal immigration. Another man complained that illegal immigrants should never be able to become citizens or vote. A third man said illegal immigrants were illiterate invaders who wanted free government benefits.

McCain urged compassion. “We are a Judeo-Christian nation,” he said. McCain’s other town hall meeting took place in Green Valley, south of Tucson.

1. His people would love to spend us into oblivion deporting everyone and then whine about

the government having no money.

2. Oopsee!!

Even throwing the Bible at them didn't calm them down. Too bad for Gramps. He must be so sorry to see what he helped create!

[SunSeeker]

3. LOL. He tries reminding them they're Christian.

As Gandhi once said, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ."

4. Sow. Reap. Repeat.

5. You (McCain) stir up this pot of hate when you need it,

then when you have to deal with this pot of crazy you want to "urge compassion." You can't have it both ways Grampy.

6. So Many Pissed-Off, Old White People In A Small Space.

I wonder if McGramps thought he'd feel right at home......

7. It must be hell to be Hispanic and have to live/work in that area of America.

8. “We are a Judeo-Christian nation,”

in other words "Hey, hey wait. Dont get mad at me. The liberals are godless atheists remember?!?! Lets focus on that."

9. LOLZ. Grumpy nasty old man meets match in other grumpy nasty old people.

10. He should have waited until after they had their jello. They'd be sleepy.

11. The RW has really created a monster

when it comes to how ignorant their base is. So much so that even Grandpa got chewed out by those wingnuts.

[BlueDemKev]

15. Yep, and that monster is now eating them alive.

And I'm loving every second of it!

[zappaman]

13. He should be jeered everywhere.

I wonder how it feels to know you've sold your integrity and legacy down the river and there is nothing you can do about it???

[cliffordu]

14. Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole.

[BlueStater]

16. McCain kissed up to these nuts when it was politically convenient for him.

In fact, he even selected one of them to be his running mate. I have no sympathy for this jackass.
