They violated her constitutional rights!

Who the hell are these thugs? Why do the American people allow gangsters who are paid with our tax dollars to treat us as criminals?

[Gayle Woods]

I totally agree this woman should have never been asked to leave a public meeting. She did nothing wrong. The police officer should have explained to the McCain security detail that the woman was well within her right to be there and refused their unconstitutional order.

She has every right to protest, but not inside the meeting hall. She should have forgotten about the sign, gone in, and asked him a tough question. Instead, she chose to engage in pointless confrontation and lost the opportunity to have her message heard.

How is Bush responsible for the housing (and housing-related insurance) collapse of 2007?! Aren't H.U.D., and the Fair Housing Act to blame? Arent those entities the product of Democrat politicians like Jimmy Carter? Please correct me if I'm wrong...

[Tinandel]

Somehow I really, really doubt we're getting the whole story here.

AZ tea party hates McCain = AZ tea party hates great statesmen. Google McCain and his tobacco legislation. A great statesman at work.

the last tea party I attended, I was 5 years old... McCain is a great statesman. He should of been elected in 2000. Bush cheated. His whole presidency was a farce. Tea party people need to grow up.
