If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him

I have had to delete about 30 comments this morning because McCain's supporters are using foul language, the N word, etc, because they are SO ANGRY that someone is calling their guy angry when he is only a little angry. This is a weakness of theirs. They are so reactionary and hateful and in fear of jihadists that they are projecting that fear and hate when McCain is called "angry" especially when he is only slightly angry and there is some gray area for them to be pissed about. The video comments I have had to delete are evidence that these guys really have a weakness with this angle.

The beauty is that there are so many examples like this. Search google video and youtube for "McCain Moments" "McCain Temper" "McCain Anger." His temper is something the media would love to roast McCain and keep pointing out his history of being hot headed.

Perhaps we can get this man to crack.

Just push his buttons.

Brainstorm ways to irritate and inflame. Nothing is off the table as far as I am concerned.

It's better he lose his temper now and crash and burn than if/when he reaches office.

[OptionsTrader]

Something as simple as asking him about his temper might do it.

He likes to field questions from crowds, so ask "Senator, I have read reports and seen videos of you losing your temper and you have reportedly said "F*** Y**" to other senators and reportedly challenged your colleagues to fist fights. Can you please explain how this history of behavior is acceptable for a man that is seeking to lead the country?"

McCain is so frustrating. The word that comes to mind is "puppet." I don't believe that he can think for himself, and he can't answer anybody unless he has those who have power over him tell him what to say!

By the way - has anybody ever actually met a McCain supporter? The reason I ask is that I talk to a lot of people about the current political race and I have yet to find one person who has voted for him. You would think that if he is landsliding the polls that a majority of the GOPers that I meet would support him.

Guess what? THEY DON'T!!! So where do they come from?!

Looks like my upload is on the front page of RedState, that's where all these racist, hate-filled, war mongering, angry, fearful neocons are coming from.

I love that they are annoyed by this example of the gray area of what some judge as a little temper tantrum and some view as sternness or strength. The "gray areaness" is what makes this so perfect as a tool to irritate.

McCain gets angry! how is this news? Unless McCain gets angry and burst a blood vessel.

Let's do it kids. Any suggestions for Songbird?

The goal is to get him to blow up embarrassingly. Michael Richards comes to mind...

[Mortikhi]

The fastest way to piss someone off that has a bad temper is to ask them if they've ever thought about seeking anger management.

Just try it.

That is good, and it also might get him caught in a lie.

What if he has and he is embarrassed?

[mczerone]

He's already proven to be a racist - toward anyone born east of the Nile, apparently.

but that's also the same racism that the GOP is okay with today, so it hasn't hurt him at all.

If he went off the handle, and starting spouting off slurs about Far Eastern facial features or hajib wearing women, he would just play the "I was scarred by war" card if anyone (a significant portion of voters anyway) cared at all.

[OptionsTrader]

If you have the opportunity to attend a McCain event that is taped, ask him some questions about his anger and see if you can get him to break. It can't hurt and if he really blows up, he is finished.

You can even go to their myspace and download it! :D

The Sheriff sure does have a temper.

[Truth Warrior]

How many planes did he get shot down before he was captured in North Viet Nam? It seems like I read somewhere that it was five.

I think he crashed just as many too.

[tropicangela]

By the way - has anybody ever actually met a McCain supporter? So where do they come from?!

Maybe it's McCain himself replying in the YouTube comments!

LOL.

Maybe Giuliani at home in his comfy dress (not that there is anything wrong with it).

The neocon posters are quite annoyed, lol.

The best way to get McCain so much bad press:

Get your child to go up to him and ask him something to make him angry. It must be a child, but not too young. Probably early teens so he doesn't just disregard them, but when he starts yelling at them, it will make headlines.

[icon124]

haha the neocons are so pissed...and they know they are wrong but still they defend him. They are the type of people that keep talking to try and prove a point once they know it's wrong in hope of somehow bringing up something half way decent to back it. This is McCains weak point and they know this.

[tropicangela]

...they know this.

You know it and I know it. Everybody knows it. The world knows it. You know it, you know it. Everybody knows it. We know it, he knows it, she knows it. We all know it.

His response:

"F**K YOU" :D

Would love to hear someone asking him that question.

Here's another video of McCain losing his temper...this time he tells a young man he will be drafted.

"Options..Does the fact that he is a real man bother you? Does the fact the Democrat party hasn't had a real man in it since Harry Truman? You're idea of a man is that pussy John Edwards weilding a womans compact primping his hair for tweny minutes, right. Or Jimmy Carter, John Kerry how about toughman Kucinich....Exactly"

Options got called a liberal... =P

Senator McCain: How many planes did you crash in Vietnam?

I heard it was 5. What else do you plan to crash, if you take office? And does this include the economy?

rofl... I would luv to see that one asked.

How about, "Senator McCain, if elected president, and we are attacked by Israel, will you allow American military assets and personel to be destroyed without responding militarily for fear of upsetting the Israel lobby? Or is your position different than your father the admiral when he called back rescue planes for the USS Liberty while it was being attacked for 45 minutes by the Israeli Air Force resulting in the deaths of dozens of sailors? Why do you think the incident was not properly investigated?

If these zionist fools think the sins of the fathers are passed down to the next generations then hold them to it, I say. Let's support the survivors of the Liberty in their fight for justice.
