John McCain Shoots Down Obama Impeachment Question At Town Hall

[Lakhota]

By Preston Maddock

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) defended President Barack Obama at a Phoenix town hall Wednesday when a constituent asked him why Congress had not impeached the president.

"I do not believe that the President has committed impeachable offenses -- that's high crimes," McCain said in response to a woman named Angelica. While McCain received scattered applause for his answer, Angelica received significantly more cheers from the audience for her question.

"But I would remind you, and I hate to remind you, I really dislike reminding you -- the president just was reelected by a majority of the American people," he added.

It was a strangely familiar position for McCain, who, during the 2008 presidential election, famously defended then-candidate Obama at a town hall when a questioner said the Democratic candidate was "an Arab."

Over four years later, McCain is still dealing with conspiracy theories. One of the last people to ask McCain a question on Wednesday asserted that Obama won elections "because of voter fraud."

We should impeach both their asses

 

[jwoodie]

The only basis for impeachment would be ineligibility to hold office. Oops, did I say that?

McSame and Obama sleep in the same bed as all other politicians do. That's why.

Good for John! Maybe he is not as senile as I initially thought. Obama has less reason to be concerned about being removed from office than the RW loons in Congress. He is twice as popular as the "gerrymandered safe" idiots. They should enjoy their safety. It is just a matter of time before demographics catches up to them and they face a frigid reality.

Poor Steph...it must be painful waking each morning knowing that Obama will be your President for the next four years. I know it is a daily struggle.

One would think that McCain would come to the realization that a significant number of his constituents are idiots.

McCain Shoots Down Obama ...

Obama is a better skeet shooter.

I saw the pictures.

The one who asked why Obama wasn't impeached cracked me up with her comment about Nixon being impeached.

Who are ‘we’?

You’re the only one exhibiting her partisan hate and ignorance.

 

[Katzndogz]

obama should be impeached for malfeasance. Then Joe Biden will give us all shotguns.

I stand corrected…

Two rightwing nitwits exhibiting their partisan hate and ignorance.

 

[percysunshine]

If I donate $1000 to Joe Bidens 2016 presidential campaign fund, will he give me an RPG instead of a shotgun?

Ya think he didn't know that before the loons ask the question? There isn't much he can do about it, I would think.

Could it be that the woman in the video IS Stephanie?

This is a news story???

Listen carefully to some of these people.

They sound grossly misinformed.

Why are they misinformed?

Because the GOP has constructed one of he most powerful echo chambers in human history. It started when they needed to break the New Deal coalition in the late 50s; and it accelerated in the 70s. They created an airtight system for channelling corporate profits into building a think tank and media universe for the purpose of capturing the low-information voter. -they spend billions convincing voters that their nation is under siege by an "external", anti-American force (-every day they scare people with warnings about socialists, marxists, communists, terrorists, gays, liberals, secularists, atheists, bra burners, multiculturalists, relativists, the Clintons, Obama). This is exactly what Hitler did. He said that the Real Germany (its religion, language, borders and traditions) had been infiltrated by Jews. Specifically, he claimed that under the Liberal Weimar regime there was too much Liberal tolerance for Jews and other outsiders. As a result, Mother Germany was being eroded from the inside - indeed, her institutions had been captured and it was time for everyday Germans to rise up and take their country back.

You have to hand it the American Rightwing. They executed Hitler's ideology of Revanchism brilliantly.

They used messianic nationalism to a "T" - "you must save our nation from being destroyed; it is the last beacon of freedom and civilization!"

Guess where they get the money to broadcast this ideology into the homes of the stupid? They get it from the ultra wealthy who have decimated American Labor because they can get their goods made cheaper in Communist China. Where do you think our largest retailer - and one of the biggest contributors to the GOP - gets most of its goods manufactured? Answer: communist China.

It's a fucking hoax.

These mega-corporations that have taken over the GOP and large sections of the media don't care about this country. They have looted it. They benefit from Pentagon support of their overseas supply chains; they benefit from this country's modern industrial infrastructure; they benefit from endless subsidies and bailouts - yet, they keep most of their money offshore, and get most of their labor from dictator-run freedom-hating nations.

It's a fucking hoax, but it works because they've convinced enough stupid people to believe it.
