3. CSPAN showed him several times during the speech.

It looked like they took his banner away at some point, but he stayed there for a long time. I don't know if they 'escorted' him out at any point, but he was there for a god long while.

4. I think he was escorted out later...

His name was Adam Kokesh, and McCain called him "ground noise and static"....

7. All right Adam!

I think what those people wanted to chant was KBR, but they said USA to prevent the entire population of the actual USA from breaking into xcel and throw the delegates in prison.

6. The people chanting USA were more than likely the lobbyists who benefit from

all of our tax dollars that have been wasted on the Iraq war.

2. Thank you for posting this.

My husband is a vet, and the new GI bill that McCain actively campaigned against, and then didn't show up to vote for, was rather important to us.

After the vote, McCain was all but claiming authorship of the bill, which makes him the kind of douchebag that vets don't vote for.

9. I wish the message below the screen was a little easier to follow.

Otherwise, it was great.
