John McCain should be censured in the Senate

[malaise]

for his comments to that grieving mother. Fuck that ReTHUG scumbag and defender of murder by assault weapons.

1. What did he say? nt

[malaise]

2. At the town hall meeting

"My 24-year-old son Alex was murdered in a movie theater in Colorado," Caren Teves said, according to KTVK. "These assault rifles allow the shooter to fire many rounds without having to reload. These weapons do not belong on our streets."

McCain responded: “I can tell you right now you need some straight talk. That assault weapons ban will not pass the Congress of the United States." McCain added that he is working on legislation that would keep guns out of the wrong hands while preserving the Second Amendment.

4. That's probably not censurable

I don't know how he should respond to that question (assuming he is maintaining his position on the Assault Weapons Ban). A bit more compassion would be nice - then again it's possible that's a partial quote.

3. She's didn't "need straight talk" about the true status of the AWB.

"My 24-year-old son, Alex, was murdered in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo.," a woman identified as Caren Teves told him (at the 0:50 mark of the video). "These assault rifles allow the shooter to fire many rounds without having to reload. These weapons to do not belong on our streets."

McCain responded, "I can tell you right now you need some straight talk. That assault weapons ban will not pass the Congress of the United States."

He could have said something like "I know you're grieving and want action to prevent another shooting, but this bill won't pass Congress."

5. He's So "Mavricky"...

The corporate media just can't get enough of Grumps McQueeg. I can't think of the last Sunday he wasn't spewing some bullshit on one Sunday morning waste of electrons or another. He knows how to play the beltway media and gets away with his lies and bile. He's a vainglorious, vindictive bastard whose punishing us for not electing him in '08. If the media types ignored him this country would be in a far better place...

6. Malaise, I think he needs to be checked out at Bethesda/Walter Reed. I don't think he's 'well.'

That's not to excuse him....but it may explain the recent drop-off in his inhibitions.

[malaise]

7. Good point but he should have been checked out or checked iin years ago

[msanthrope]

10. Yes, for the general craziness, but I think his deterioration over the last year

is marked. I won't be surprised if there's a public collapse/scene.

9. He suffers from sore-loser-itis and Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Soon medical researchers will discuss his case in the journals.

[msanthrope]

11. I'm sure he has an excess of yellow bile. I'd bleed him with leeches. nt

[FSogol]

12. I concur, Doctor. I believe he's already been trepanned. n/t

[msanthrope]

14. Oh...that made me laugh....nt

[11 Bravo]

13. Yup, ever since "That One" kicked his ass, Walnuts has been leaking oil.

[cali]

8. alas, those comments are nothing he can be censored for.

[spanone]

15. heartless piece of shit.

[malaise]

16. Fi real

He disgusts me
