Clive businessman Marty Parrish was escorted from Sen. John McCain's town hall meeting by Des Moines police and members of the Secret Service after asking McCain if he had called his wife Cindy an expletive in 1992.

Parrish, an ordained Baptist minister who holds a master's degree in political science, was questioned by Secret Service agents before being released. He was not charged in the incident.

Way to go McCain. He probably thought the guy was a RP supporter. Ha!

:D stormcommander, thanks for posting the video :D

Why do the people clapping insist on ignoring issues like this? I say it is a huge psychological problem.

[amy31416]

He completely avoided the question, but I hope it sticks with them.

I hope another person asks him the same exact thing at the next town hall meeting. And the one after that, and. . .

BOOM! His explosive anger bursts forth. :D

^^^^ that's hilarious

[Kotin]

i hope this bites him in the ass..

[freedom-maniac]

Can you say "zip housewife and soccer mom votes" if this goes mainstream?

[Giuliani was there on 911]

I wish the guy would have been smarter about it and said "did you call her the C word" instead of saying the word its self.

[amy31416]

Then...

BOOM! His explosive anger bursts forth. :D

Exactly! :D

[Joseph Hart]

when someone comments... "Why would someone says such a thing"... whatever. I reply yea mccain should never say it again.

Then...

BOOM! His explosive anger bursts forth. :D

Probably just need one more if we can find someone to do it that his security team wouldn't dare touch. A nun in a habit, for example, or a ninety-something year old woman... They just stand there, she just looks at him---boom!

You people should get out more. Or at least learn to search. The Grassroots forum is freaking useless.

The guy who asked the question is actually a minister... although nobody knew that when he asked I'm guessing

[Banana]

Am I missing the significance of him being a minister? That he actually said a dirty word?

If we really want to see him go psycho, the next question should be, "Senator McCain, how can we trust you to make decisions as our president when you don't even have good enough judgment not to marry a woman you yourself described as a trollop and a cunt?"

the person I replied to was talking about getting someone that wouldn't be considered rude, etc

Where's his next town hall meeting? I could get a habit somewhere, this is a big Catholic town.

:p

Aha, gotcha. That way, they can't say it was a wild, bushy and bearded man in a loincloth screaming profanity and flashing himself before McCain.



Also, it occurred to me that McCain's response was weird- he says "This is the great thing about townhall..." then saying that nobody want this kind of language. Was he saying it's great that someone asked him a direct question or that nobody used profane language? Either way, he's making ass of himself... :D

[robert4rp08]

Wonder of those people that gasped then clapped eventually realized that a single word would have answered the question.

Sure you can! Just ask Scotty to beam you up!

The guy is a RP supporter! We discussed it in a thread yesterday before he went. lol

You have no idea how many times I've made that request. Nuthin'. I think my transponder is messed up.

[hillertexas]

The next one is May 7th (see above). Can you make it to Michigan? :)

[Joseph Hart]

Do we really want McCunt in office? :P

[amy31416]

That's a possibility. We could also contact some Michigan supporters. ;)

[kigol]

lol, at least he deflected it properly.

[flames2dust77]

I agree with the people who say McC*nt should be asked that question at every single town hall meeting. Every town has that one ballsy person who just doesn't care and will say whatever they want whenever they want, w/no concern about being removed from meetings. It's coming....this guy is a ticking time bomb. Ooooh, I will be so happy the day he loses his cool in front of the cameras or other people besides his staff members. *dances*

[Joseph Hart]

McCunt - More of Bush ;)

[Mach]

He doesn't play the fake card very well........

I guarantee that 95% of the audience didn't know the factual (supposedly) basis of the question. They just heard some random guy say the C word at a town hall. Maybe a few will google it. But judging by all the blue hair I doubt it.

[sidster]

How is this a relevant "issue"?

I don't get it... I don't like McCain one bit, but I fail to sense the
relevance of what he may or may not have called his wife. Frankly
I think it is a bit rude to ask something like that of him.

That was my take on it. I was sitting about 15 feet behind the guy when he asked the question. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=135408

Pic below.

Then he went up the press row with a piece of white paper which must have been a sign or something he wanted to show him. A guy came up and put his arm around him and he was escorted politely out. Thankfully it wasn't a "don't tase me bro" incident.

By the way, the beginning of this "town hall" meeting was much more of a "We really need your money for this broke campaign" speech. Begging for money quite a few times by different people, "give as much as you can, then give some more"..."The other side sure has plenty of money, so we need your help." The crowd of 300 (Paul normally quadruples that or more lately) was polite, some were excited, most were just going along, I think. After all, he got a distant 3rd here, having mostly ignored the state.

Whoever can dig up audio/video of the original 1992 comment made by McCain would SINK his campaign in a heartbeat. Want Ron Paul to be the nominee? Find that audio!

Time to raise some... "Reward Money"..... first one with the authentic "C" video/audio wins the cash! May sound sick to some, but, McCain makes his own beds, it's about time he sleeps in some of them.

[Working Poor]

I think it is interesting that he already gets secret service protection do they think he is already the President? Then I guess they know not many people like him all that much....

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/McCain_temper_boiled_over_in_92_0407.html


Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

witnesses?

McCain is smart for not responding.

The guy that asked the question could have said it in non-offending manners.

Apparently the question should actually be "Is it true you're getting a little thin up there?"

"Do you think there's any possibility that Putin might think that you're getting a little thin up there?"

"Is there any hope that Ahmadinejad will ever be able to accept that you're getting a little thin up there?" :D
