No wonder Hillary had to try so hard to make sure “every voice was heard.”
After lunching with a roundtable of women at Philadelphia’s Down Home Diner, McCain shook hands with supporters and strode up to a podium to deliver a statement. But as he spoke, chants of “Obama, Obama, Obama” filled the room. Reporters craned forward trying to hear the Arizona senator. Unfortunately for McCain – and possibly overlooked by aides who planned the event – a section of the diner opened up to a market where a crowd had gathered behind a cordon. A large contingent of Obama supporters showed up, mixed with some who had bumper stickers reading “Democrats for McCain”. “It’s time to leave the talk behind and start shaking up Washington and fixing our economy, taking care of the problems facing our families. We’re going to give a tax cut to every family with a child,” he said. His words were barely audible.
Why must you marginalize our voices, purveyors of hope? It seems to be something of a pattern, given the systematic shouting down of Stanley Kurtz’s interview on Chicago radio about Bill Ayers. The Code Pink accosting of the Republican nominee’s acceptance speech at the convention is another one for the annals of lefty tolerance.
