McCain evicts angry woman from town hall
‘You’re going to have to stop or you’re going to have to leave,’ senator says

PHOENIX - Sen. John McCain met with an angry crowd at a town-hall meeting about health care reform Wednesday, sometimes having to fight to talk and telling one woman who wouldn't stop yelling that she had to leave.

The Arizona senator hadn't yet opened up the meeting at McCain's central Phoenix church to questions when one audience member continuously yelled over him.

"You're going to have to stop or you're going to have to leave," McCain told the woman. When security guards approached to escort her out, he told her "Goodbye, see ya" to a round of applause.

After McCain opened it up to questioning, one man angrily pointed at him and asked the senator why he deserves a better health care plan than him.

"I'm trying to get it for you," McCain told him. "We'll do it for you. We'll make it affordable and available to you."

1. he sure didn't seem like he was trying for any health reform this morning on GMA

They were asking him about Ted Kennedy (and I do think that less than perfect answers are to be expected when one is grieving over their friend, but still, this pretty much matches up with everything else McCain has said) and whether his death made McCain feel a responsibility to get health reform done, and he mumbled "IF we get health care reform, blah blah blah, compromise, blah blah, compromise", etc (aka, it will be on the other people's backs to "compromise". and wtf "IF"?)

2. I'm curious what she was yelling about

why is it when it's abirther/turfer they always enumerate in painful detail with exposition what was said and why...
but when it's one of us... no dice?

3. yeah, they didn't point out what she was saying ...

must have been a real point, not a Town Hall Tantrumer shouting out about Obama being a Nazi ...
