Questioner Dragged Out Of McCain Town Hall Talks To OffTheBus
Questioner Dragged Out Of McCain Town Hall Talks To OffTheBus
Keith Dinsmore
Posted May 2, 2008 | 12:43 AM (EST)



OffTheBus member Keith Dinsmore was on the scene at the McCain healthcare town hall in Iowa Wednesday where Marty Parrish posed a question to the candidate the mainstream media weren't asking. Parrish was dragged out by secret service agents. He talked with OTB's Dinsmore after the event.

Marty Parrish was aware of John McCain's history as an alleged adulterer and that he had left the wife who had raised his children while McCain was held captive in Vietnam for a rich, young trophy wife.

But last week, when Parrish -- a business owner in Des Moines -- read a HuffingtonPost article by Adam McKay, "Vetting the Candidates," that related how McCain had verbally abused Cindy McCain in front of reporters and staff, Parrish became both angry and concerned.

"A guy who would call his wife a trollop and a c--t just because she had ruffled his hair in front of five guys is not only a jerk, but a dangerous hothead if he ever gets his finger on the button," Parrish said Thursday evening.

"And since the mainstream media has decided to give McCain a free pass, I decided to stand up and, if they gave me an open mike, ask the question that the press refuses to touch," he explained. "Our country is in a serious crisis after nearly eight years of Bush, and America appears to be oblivious to the danger this guy (McCain) poses to our country," said Parrish.

3. Excellent question from a former Biden supporter
Why do comments and articles about McCain get about 10 min. air time yet the Dems get hacked on for days about their every word? Silly question I know. It doesn't take long to realize who the media is working for, anyone that won't hurt the corporations' power.

There is no reason for McCain to be so close in the polls to the Dems except he gets a free pass constantly on his idiocy.
