Media For McCain: Ask A Tough Question, You’re A “Heckler”

The media wraps John McCain in its arms and protects Widdle John from the tough questions.

On [CNN's] Ballot Bowl, Jim Acosta reported on an appearance by Sen. John McCain at his former high school in Virginia in which a student asked McCain to clarify why he was visiting the school if not for political reasons. Acosta claimed that the student “apparently … started heckling the senator” and twice referred to her as a “heckler.” In fact, the question came during a question-and-answer session, and, according to a transcript of the event, McCain called on the student.

NBC’s Chris Matthews: “The press loves McCain. We’re his base.”

    That wasn’t even a tough question.

    It wasn’t on the cue card. That was a heckler.

    Here’s a question for all the candidates:

    “What medications are you on, and what side effects do these drugs have?”

    Mr. Acosta:

    1. Considering this girl was called on during a Q&A period, what is your definition of “heckler”?

    2. Is that definition different for someone asking a question of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?

    3. What do you do to get the taste of John McCain out of your mouth before going on air? Do you use a mouthwash, or what?

    These jerks in the media called the Mccain campaign “we” in the 2000 primary. McCombover is and always will be the apple of their daddy fetishist eye

    Just wait until the corpse of John McCain has to debate a living person.

    Um… they clearly don’t know the definition of heckling.

    This is more like it:
