McCain booed in Michigan…twice; Update: Video added
Update: Here’s the vid of the booing at the Americans for Prosperity Summit event…
***
Mr. Shamnesty-Short Fuse almost walked off the stage during a campaign event with the AFL-CIO in Michigan. Audience members didn’t like his soft-on-illegal immigration blather. They booed. He pouted:
Sen. John McCain threatened Tuesday to cut short a speech to union leaders who booed his immigration views and later challenged his statements on organized labor and the Iraq war.
“If you like, I will leave,” McCain told the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, pivoting briefly from the lectern. He returned to the microphone after the crowd quieted.
“OK, then please give me the courtesy I would give you.”
And what would the profanity-spewing McCain know about courtesy towards those with whom he disagress on immigration?
More:
…the senator outlined his position on the Senate immigration debate, saying tougher border enforcement must be accompanied by guest-worker provisions that give illegal immigrants a legal path toward citizenship.
Murmurs from the crowd turned to booing. “Pay a decent wage!” one audience member shouted.
“I’ve heard that statement before,” McCain said before threatening to leave.
Afterward, the senator said he offered to cut his speech short “because I wanted to be heard.”
Cutting off debate with anti-amnesty opponents: It’s the McCain/open borders way.
Say it louder: BOOOOOO!
***
McCain was also booed at a conservative gathering in Livonia, Michigan, over the weekend, according to CNS News:
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, winner of last Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, drew cheers and jeers from an audience of over 500 conservative activists in Michigan over the weekend.
Just days ahead of the Michigan primary, McCain was one of three Republican presidential hopefuls, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, to visit the Americans for Prosperity Summit held Saturday in the Detroit suburb of Livonia.
McCain was alternately cheered and jeered by the vocal, pro-growth, “limit-the-government” activist crowd. He was cheered for his military service and for his pledges to maintain a strong defense, to cut taxes and to veto earmarks, but he was booed for his stances on immigration and the environment…
…McCain, who engaged the audience in a lengthy Q&A period, drew howls of protest and boos when he expressed support for allowing most illegal aliens to stay in the United States and when he opposed against any form of protectionism.
The Arizona Republican even promised one vocal detractor in the audience, John A. Hillman of Livonia, Mich., he would personally phone him and answer his questions as soon as he got back on his campaign bus.

do you think the media will bring this news to us? i haven’t heard one thing about this booing. no, according to the media, mcpain is a darling loved by all repubs and the front runner!!
can’t sell that if they bring the news to us, or has mcpain would say ‘just the straight forward facts’..right..
Soft on it? I thought McCain was upset that so many people were dying in his Arizona desert that something needed to be done? How could he possibly favor an open border?
My question for the open borders crowd is this: What about all of the people who are snuck in here AGAINST their will? You’re all so concerned about the welfare of your fellow person, yet you don’t seem to get that many people are lured or kidnapped here! America may be the greatest country in the world, but not EVERYONE wants to come here.
We’ve GOT to stop this McCain madness. Voters in Michigan; please vote for Thompson or Mitt.
BOOOOOOOOOOO McCain!
G
GO FRED THOMPSON!!!!
They were saying Boooo-urns.
Voters of Michigan, do what the Daily Kos suggests and vote Mitt.
Okay, everybody .. 1..2..3..
BOOOOOOOOOOO JOHN MCCAIN
And to the people who booed Mr. McShamnesty:
YAY!!!
John McCain – por El Presidente ‘08
I am gratified they heard me all the way from the west coast.
McCain – tell me how your policies would change THIS.
McShamnesty and his buddy Grahamnesty call me a bigot, while they and their ilk promote policies that lead to brothels for illegal aliens in the suburbs of San Diego.
How about a little LAW ENFORCEMENT?
“If you like, I will leave,” McCain told the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, pivoting briefly from the lectern.
Please do! And crawl back into that hole you share with Ted Kennedy!
McCain displayed his contempt for the people of this country with his behavior during the McAmnesty debacle last summer by throwing insults and slurs at anyone who disagreed with his open-borders obsession. I have not forgotten and under no circumstances will I vote for this megalomaniac. I’m sticking with Fred Thompson all the way, win or lose.
Is McCain going to carry his own state (Arizona) in the primaries? I haven’t seen him round town lately. I know if he does show up, I will be there booing him.
Hey John – I had a stroke and currently unemployed. I could certainly use one of those $50/hr lettuce picking jobs you talked about last year.
This is an AMERICAN?
This is a presidential CANDIDATE?
Who the he11 is voting for this sad excuse of a “patriot”?
His good will from his military service and POW time have been used up, my friends.
I am concerned, and have been, about McCain’s judgement. How did his stay in the Hanoi Hilton, the torture he endured, and the isolation while captive effect his judgement, and thought processes? Is he the only POW/prisoner not negatively effected by the experience? Something is not right here…
Open borders.
Limited free speach.
Against tax cuts.
Ability to get ‘things’ done with democrats.
Other than that He’s my man.
oops speech.
McLame got what he deserved, he of vacillating platform, weak vision and principle.
I cannot wrap my head around the dichotomy of being strong on defense but still refusing to secure the border.
Isn’t this a function or our military?
Granted, I know that we cannot simply station the army at the border with orders to shoot, but… Just because it’s a silent invasion doesn’t mean that it’s not an invasion. Subversion by population is a scary thought. It will be too late once the sleepers to this threat wake up.
Would McCain walk away from addressing Congress because someone boo’d him there, too?
Or is it just potential constituents that McCain disdains?
McCain responded by saying immigrants were taking jobs nobody else wanted. He offered anybody in the crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona.
First it’s Not that they do jobs Americans won’t, It’s that they work for a WAGE that most Americans can’t, thus making wages lower on all blue collar jobs.
Secondly, do they even grow lettuce in Arizona?
Third, if farmers need cheap labor, let’s make the people in our prisons work in the fields (non-violent ones)to play for the cost of housing them. If they put in a hard days work they would be too tired to fight with each other.
and they would probably like the fresh air.
#12 Timothy S. Carlson
I’d like one of those $50/hour lettuce picking jobs he mentioned, too.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree, work as an electronic technician, and don’t make even close to that much.
McCain told those union men they couldn’t do it, but I was raised on a farm in rural Oklahoma. I hauled hay in the hot sun all day for my dad for nothing. I’ve driven a tractor all day in the hot sun. Picking lettuce would be simple.
As horrible as McCain’s immigration views are, the nativism of these AFL-CIO socialists isn’t any better. They want jobs they don’t deserve at wages the employer doesn’t want to pay.
The only “decent” wage is the one that the employer and the employee agree upon, without coercion. The concept that for a certain job there is an objective “decent wage” or “fair wage” or “living wage” that can be determined through any process other than the market forces of labor is socialist propaganda, and utter hogwash.
Exactly. Seems we ought to worry about an immediate and on-going invasion as much as terrorists.
And is he also racist, implying a racial superiority for (presumably) Mexican/Hispanic/Latino laborers? If not, what is the difference between ‘you, my friends’ and illegals?
Maybe this is the beginning of the end for McCan’t?
We can only hope.
I heard him say during the debate the other night that he would get the governors of the border states to certify that the border is secure.
Isn’t it the function of the Ferderal Government to secure the border? Is it not the Federal Government and not the border state Governors that control the funding for border security? Is it not the U.S. Congress (with the help of DHS and the White House) that recently cut funding for and requirements of the border fence?
So when President Mcshamnesty asks Governor Arnold if the border is secure, Governor Arnold will say “well Mr. President, all except for the part next to Mexico. We’re still waiting on Homeland Security to build the fence and parole some of the agents that Johnny Sutton has incarcerated.”
So do the right thing Michigan, vote “NO” to McShamnesty.
Hey…how about some real cheap labor?
Inmate labor.
Let them find out what “character building” is all about for a change, instead of sitting around, watching TV and lifting weights. Perhaps the work ethic for a change will do some good.
fred5676
WOW, Great link!
If local gov’t isn’t willing to work to remove that shanty town, I wonder if those residents living near it couldn’t pressure the owners of the land? Or file suit against them for diminishing their property values (or something similar).
I wonder if that homeowne has called ICE to see if they can do anything?
Great suggestion. Whatever happened to the chain gangs? Do any states still do this?
This was my posting on another thread this morning. It needs to be repeated.
On January 14th, 2008 at 9:39 am, Marshall Russ said:
What I don’t get is this. It’s one thing to be saddled with a problem that the Feds ignored like Illegal Immigration. And to the extent Mitt, Mike, and Rudy had to deal with it, they get a little bit of a pass. McCain was working with Teddy, to the horror of not only Republicans and Independents but, many Democrats to grant amnesty to millions of illegals. Where is the outrage?
When this was being shoved down the throat of the American people we shut down the phone system in Congress. E-mail addresses were flooded with angry letters. We were called racist and short sighted and insulted by many Senators but, they had to listen and the legislation was defeated. Why is McCain getting so much support from the people that he insulted in anger and whose lives would be immediately and negatively impacted? I believe that if elected he would sign the bill the liberal congress would send up that he helped craft. Maybe I am missing something but, I don’t get it. And yes, the primary system needs a complete over haul.
Does McCain mean THIS?
And THIS? (left-hand news column)
Evidently not.
McCain and Kennedy have been promising to close the borders since at least 1986. In all the years McCain has been a senior member of the senate, he has done nothing to close the borders. He even admits that his own state has the most porous border. Yet, we are supposed to believe he is going to do something about the borders now, if he becomes President?
Suppose you came back from vacation to find that someone broke into your house and moved in while you were away. Are you going to allow them to live in the guest room while you arrange to adopt them because you’re convinced they only did it to obtain a better life? That makes just as much sense as saying we must give citizenship to those who broke into our country. If we give it to anyone, I would rather give it to those who respected our laws and remained in their own country while they applied legally to come here.
If we need a guest-worker program, why can’t we just provide work permits to those who want to come here to work? Why must a “path to citizenship” be part of the equation? In other words, why must we reward those who broke our laws with a path to citizenship that we never promised them and that they never applied for in the first place? Can a McCain supporter or anyone else please explain that to me?
I was thinking the same thing just last night. The problem here is that we’re using logic and common sense, two things most politicians(on either side sadly)don’t possess.
Thanks. Enjoy more links.
I cannnot understand how McCain is polling so well. An uninformed electorate is the only reason.
Salt #18, Why can’t we station troops on the border, with orders to shoot to kill? Better yet, build an 18 ft. wall then put a 5000 volt wire on top of it; let’s see how many 21 ft. ladders light up before they take the hint.
Its time for the McCain mutiny!
Time to up Huck the Shuckabee spew too.
Good to hear the hard working folks of liberal Michigan have had it with the illegal invasion too. McCain is going to go down in flames due to his stance on trying to stuff illegal immigration down our throats. I’ll be booing him if he every shows his face anywhere close to Boise, ID. Many of us have not forgotten and will not forgive his attempted sell out of our national sovereignty.
Excellent reference, fred5676. I fear that the ‘elite’ would debate the meaning of the word ‘invasion’ to mean that the illegals would have to be firing guns as they crossed.
For McCain….simply OUCH!! Hey John, why not head to Maryland and congratulate the Gov. for offering driver’s licenses to illegals? You two should get along very well.
According to the latest Rasmussen poll in South Carolina, Senator Fred Thompson is surging, now in a statistical 2nd place behind Senator McCain.
Monday, January 14, 2008
“Over the past several days, the only real movement in South Carolina’s Republican Presidential Primary has been a four-point gain for Fred Thompson and a five-point decline for Mike Huckabee.”
South Carolina GOP Primary:
McCain 28%
Huckabee 19%
Romney 17%
Thompson 16%
I hear ya, but it would be a bit tough on our military to be shooting at what would normally be considered non-combatants, no?
I’m all for a wall. I’d even go for painful, but non-lethal measures (e.g. razor wire). I believe we can find an answer that doesn’t make us look brutal.
Punishing businesses that employ illegal immigrants seems to be an even better way. If there is nothing for them to obtain here because no one is willing to take the risk, they won’t come. That doesn’t seem all that complicated: No reward means you don’t take the risk.
Instead, we’re finding ways to add additional benefits to their behavior (e.g. college tuition benefits, drivers licenses, insurance, etc). Common sense is in sparse supply in D.C. I would expect better from someone looking for the Republican vote.
They are. At least carrying and aiming.
More.
If you want more examples, Google “armed incursions border”.
My blood pressure has gone up 20 pts. I’m outta here.
But they began spreading wild rumours about falling in the polls, and then “Old Yellowstain”. I was to blame for Thompson’s incompetence.
Thompson was the perfect candidate, but not McCain… But the Michigan Primary, that’s where I had them. I proved with geometric logic that I was going to win in Michigan.
I could have produced that victory, but they were protecting some candidate … Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I’ve left anything out, just ask me specific questions – and I’ll be glad to answer them one by one.
Ooooohhhhh…..I LOVE this one. And they’d already be experienced too, isn’t 20% of our prison population illegal?
fred5676
Thanks for the other great links!
Tim,
Well if you get two tickets to one of his $1500 dollar a plate dinners let me know I’ll go with you. Of course there is no way I will ever have that kind of money to throw in the sewer.
And Yes, we do have male and female chain gangs here in Maricopa County. Sheriff Joe runs them. A few years ago the press interviewed some of the participants and they all liked the idea because it got them out of the jail and gave them something to do.
Hey, what are you all complaining about. I’m stuck with the other half of the McCain/Graham shamnesty team. Anyone that teams up with Chapaquitted Kennedy to give amnesty to illegals is a traitor and a coward.
Mr. Graham and I had this same discussion via email a few months ago and now he claims to have seen the light and opposes amnesty. Yeah right??? Next thing you know, they’ll be trying to sell us on installing loudspeakers on every corner so that we can hear the muslim call to prayer.
Pay attention boys, and no that’s not a typo, build the stinkin fence and enforce the laws we have now. Got it??
oops… yeah, I knew about those incidents but wasn’t thinking about them when I posted. A great point. Thanks, fred5676.
Fair ’nuff. Revised thinking: Army mans the walls with simple RoE on warning then firing. No complexities on how, when, and why to fire that will later allow anyone to incriminate them.
Folks
We will not get the truth about McCain out to the wider community via this emphasis on ‘amnesty’. McCain simply changed the definition of amnesty (it’s not one since illegals have to pay some fine and learn english to get the reward of a green card, sure that’s really painful, ask the legal immigrants).
http://numbersusa.com/actionalerts
Use words like REWARD instead of amnesty.
I can’t vote for McCain. His immigration ideas stink. But the worst is the McCain-Feigold act that stripped away the 1st amendment right of free speech, so incumbents could have little competition. Because of the M/F act, “Hillarythemovie” can’t be advertised. I haven’t seen it (anyone?) but the cast looks good:
http://www.hillarythemovie.com/
I thought they were screaming “HSU”.
In addition to McCain’s flagrant, hands over ears and eyes regarding illegals I don’t like his comments on jobs never returning to Michigan in the auto industry!
That seems un-American to me and completely defeatist.
More like 27% here in
ArizonaMexiforniagraysonret #49 -
I think I threw up a little in my mouth. Next time please warn us that such an awful image is linked in your post.
/sarc – well, not quite sarc, but just feeling ill now.
McCain is a desperate old man. He lies about the amnesty intent in the “Comprehensive Immigration” bill he sponsored, and he will never follow through with securing the borders. He participated willingly in the back room antics to push shamnesty down our throats. Does he have any memory left at all? Didn’t he hear the American citizenry shout out? How sad for us if he retains any influence at all after the election.
Interesting how he uses the ” tear jerker” example of a serving military person. What about the rest of the dirt-bags? This one example is small compared to the problem.
That, my friend, was comedy gold…..even if I’m the only one who seems to get the reference.
EXACTLY!
This “amnesty” argument is driving me crazy! I almost threw a brick at my TV during the debate when Thompson and Romney could not frame the debate as follows:
Amnesty is forgiveness for past misdeeds. If you charge a fine or demand jail time, it is not amnesty. “Shamnesty” is MUCH WORSE – it is is a package of REWARDS and BRIBES. Come, let us use some logic:
Imagine a burglar who has stolen $5000 of your favorite power tools and your wife’s jewelry. At trial the judge gives him amnesty – no jail time and no fine. BUT THE JUDGE WILL CERTAINLY NOT LET THE BURGLAR KEEP THE TOOLS AND JEWELS!
McCain, Guliani, Huckabee, Bush, Kennedy, et al, all want to give your jewelry and your husband’s power tools to the illegal aliens. Very simple. And outrageous.
And can you honestly say that these two scenarios are different?
1. An (about to be) illegal alien bribes a BP agent to get into our country – cost: $3000
2. An illegal alien is allowed to stay in country by paying a $3000
fineBRIBE.As Thompson (and Romney and Hunter) says, “Ya gotta go home!”
Senator McVain, I’ll give you the same courtesy you gave Senator Cornyn during the amensty debate:
Go f— yourself.
From NRO:
Fred Thompson: Liftoff? [Peter Robinson]
All eyes are naturally enough on the Michigan primary tomorrow—all eyes, that is, except mine, Jonathan Adler’s, and those belonging to readers of this happy Corner who have been wondering, with Jonathan and me, when the polls would begin to move in Fred Thompson’s direction in South Carolina. Now, Rasmussen reports, they have. Fred ain’t dead. Lately, the South Carolina debate would suggest, he ain’t even drowsy.
Which brings me to a question. Earlier today I talked with an old friend who’s close to the Thompson campaign. At every Thompson campaign stop in South Carolina, he told me, there is something new: real excitement. The crowds are big and growing by the day—for the first time, people are being turned away from Thompson events because they’re already full. The state troopers are showing that special deference and respect they reserve for candidates whom they actually suspect will soon become the commander in chief. And Thompson himself is pointed, energetic, combative. In other words, the campaign feels as though its achieving liftoff.
If I hear that crapola of “I won’t call that soldier in Iraq and tell him I’m going to deport his mother …” just one more time I am going to need more than Metamucil after the severe indigestion/diarrhea that I will be suffering.
Epicac might help.
I said this four years ago. McCan’t is a closet socialist. Now he is coming out of the closet and proving it.
The reason he is polling so well is where the polls are being conducted. Any one can sample any area and extrapolate the answer they want.
Liberals would love McCan’t as President. He serves their causes. One has got to look past his military record and see his voteing record and exactly where he stands or sits.
The MSM is pushing the spin on McCain and the left. It is a big race to see how fast they can sell this country out.
“The evangelical preacher isn’t working boss!”
- “Then throw the ‘Old Man’ at them”
I can only hope that McCain is not the Republican Presidential candidate. The liberal press is pushing him now to damage the Republicans — and then they will attack without mercy if and when he is the Republican candidate to make sure Hillary gets the votes needed to make her President.
McCain is a loose cannon on the deck of the Republican ship. About the only reason he gets any credibility within the party is because of his heroism in withstanding the torture in Vietnam. He is far too close in philosophy to left-wing socialist politicians like Feingold and Kennedy, and even Lieberman (who he would probably pick to be his VP in a spirit on non-partisanship). Frankly, there is little to choose from between Hillary and McCain. I would probably sit this one out and let the country get a real black eye for picking one of these two power hungry monsters.
Jose McCain and Jorge Bush are among the corrupt, unpatriotic Washington SOB’s who are bringing in illegals, so it’s really their job to call up jackpot babies and illegal aliens serving in the military in Iraq and tell them humanely that their mothers are being deported. We didn’t bring them in, Jorge and Jose did.
Put a stop to Huckabigot and McAmnesty…Vote Romney!
McCain is such a politician (that’s a slur). On the subject of immigration, I wouldn’t believe him even if he were standing on a stack of Bibles.
Marshall, Post 29:
I think we’re seeing the media coddle McCain the same way they did Huckabee the same way they did Dole; they percieve someone who Hillary will eat for lunch with their complicit assistance, so they give these kinds of guys a pass right up until the day they get the Republican nomination, they they tear them to pieces with every bit of dirt they can find – and the Republicans lose.
“If you like, I will leave,” McCain told the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department
One word: unpresidential.
I’m glad to see that McCain got the sort of welcome that he deserves, at least part of the time.
Hey Mcslain, Yes, I would like you to leave and please take Julia Annie with you.
Viva McCain!!
Viva Hemorrhoids!!

You need to tell this to John McCain and his supporters, because they are quite convinced that they know what the “correct” wage is for doing all sorts of jobs, and that it is the role of government to adjust the immigration flood-gates in order to get that “correct” wage.

Interesting Senator Thompson report in South Carolina:

Ho-hum, McCain…
Like he matters, the MSM props him up.
After Super Tuesday, none of this matters.
How can you stop the McCain madness by voting for his big butt buddy, FRED???
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
If you want to stop the madness, vote for DUNCAN HUNTER or Mitt!!!
ABSOLUTELY!
AND DUNCAN HUNTER!!!!
Flush McCain and Huckleberry, and Julie
You forget – the only way he won his last SENATE RE-ELECTION was with DIM CROSSOVER VOTING.
and for that, and other highly offensive Liberal actions on his part, the Arizona GOP caucus UNANIMOUSLY CENSURED McCain.
That wasn’t some “Christian” chapter or coalition, it was the ARIZONA REPUBLICANS.
They don’t have any use for him and his lying ways – why should the rest of us?
It appears the real reason for McCain-Feingold-THOMPSON was to put the quietus on the Ted Sampley report of McCain’s Vietnam conduct.
Ain’t it a shame it ain’t politically correct for a former POW’s genuine record to receive fresh air and daylight!
What a great friend that McCain has in Fred Thompson, former Watergate prosecutor. Gee what would we have all done if not for Fred chairing that Senate Committee to investigate the CHINESE DONATIONS to the CLINTON CAMPAIGN FUNDS.[/sarc]
SheetAnchor tks…love to see his ads…he looks, appears and sounds honest..go my vote.
Besides all the immigration lies that McCain spews, The line that “the jobs have left Michigan and will never return”,Burns me up. What a defeatist attitude that is. Leaders are elected to solve problems I always though. Heck, how about manufacturing things in the good ol’ U.S.A again. I’m tired of seeing made in China on every thing I buy.
The RINO’s and the media want the race declared for McCain right now. They’re lobbying hard.
Conservatives need Romney to win in Michigan tomorrow.
VOTE!!!
I have been talking about McCain’s temper and ire towards the people he disagrees with for a long time. Will someone finally listen?
In 1992, and there is video footage of it which I will try to get, he brought the sister of a missing airmen to tears. He was yelling over her calling her and others who believed that the government wasn’t doing enough to find those men who were still missing names. Teeth clenched, fist raised, face red … Our Next President?
He claims the utmost respect for those who were held with him, but for those families less fortunate than his, he has no respect, decency or sympathy.
If anyone thinks that his POW status alone is enough to put him in the White House – I would highly recommend that you take your blinders off ..Soon!
If he can’t control himself with cameras rolling during a Senate Select Committee, what will be he like when cameras aren’t rolling in the Situation Room?
McCain has used his service to screw Republicans and Americans any which way he could. Look how blatently he turns the illegal immigrants into a ‘I’m not going to call a serviceman in Iraq to tell him his mother is being deported.’ Ofcourse, nothing about Americans being raped by his illegal-immigrants.
Think about this smooth-talking traitor!
right_on @ #14:
Manchurian Candidate? Krushev always claimed that we’d fall from the inside.
Indeed, John has totally used up all his immunity points as war hero. Sad to see the fall from grace.
At the root of all this, I’m not clear on how his role in the Keating 5 caused him to be the crusader of anti-corruption. Ironically, he may be be “uncorrupted” by money, but certainly corrupted by power. Anyone clue me in?
I really loved that Not going to deport a soldiars mother tactic. LOL! Brillant! A savvy trick, the melding of military and shamnesty. As if he was saying “Now if you boo me it will seem as if you are against our men and women in uniform.” Out of the millions and millions of illegals in the country I am willing to bet the percentage who have a son or daughter in the service is kind of small. He better hope he becomes president, ’cause here in Arizona we are getting quite fed up with him, and his future in the Senate is looking less and less likely.
Since January 4th, the Senator Fred Thompson campaign has raised over $1.036 million dollars, or approximately $100,000 per day.
Americans can’t see it but yake away his service record and McCain is another Traitor Teddy.
