Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) spoke to the National Urban League, a group “devoted to empowering African Americans to enter the economic and social mainstream.” When an audience member asked him how he planned to reduce urban crime, McCain praised Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s efforts in New York Cirty before invoking the military’s tactics in Iraq as the model for crime-fighting:

MCCAIN: And some of those tactics — you mention the war in Iraq — are like that we use in the military. You go into neighborhoods, you clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that live there, and you make sure that the known criminals are kept under control. And you provide them with a stable environment and then they cooperate with law enforcement, etc, etc.

Now that our military experts advocate approaching the “war on terror” with more policing and intelligence gathering, McCain wants to approach urban policing with more military power. (HT: Political Radar

Even the crazies on the right don't suggest this stuff.

screw responding to the rock star bullshit ads - start a carefully orchestrated process of defining mccain as what he is - the figurehead for Big Brother, who will spy on you, kick your door down, "clamp down" on you, torture you...

I don't care how much "proof" there is or isn't. "scare tactics' can be used in more ways than one

Any dolt can see where this is going.

I wonder if this was before or after CNN cut the Orlando, Fl. Townhall feed yesterday?

I hope someone has the Video too

Is blackwater above the law in the US as well in its operations?

The GOP has created a private army and now a private CIA.
