Here is video of Sen. John McCain today at a Town Hall Meeting in Sun City, Arizona where he made the statement:
"I think you are seeing the beginning of a peaceful, and let me emphasize peaceful, revolt in America."
He made the statement in response to a question as to why Americans should trust major party candidates when their ability to achieve results has been so poor?
McCain was far more conciliatory toward President Obama than most in the crowd. The opposition to Obama and what he is trying to do was clear and obvious among the people. But McCain did stand strong against what Obama is trying to do in passing Government Health Care. He spoke positively about the Americans who are standing up and speaking their mind at Town Hall Meetings across the country. . . . . (Watch Video)

Captain Queeg. Clueless and irrelevant. Time to retire and spend your wife’s beer money.
How long will it stay peaceful?
Does McCain know that hes one of the politicians we’re revolting against?
I know many people have reason to dislike McCain, but I’ve always respected him and been ready to follow. His comments today show that he’s more than willing to stand up for those who refuse to stand idly by while government healthcare is forced upon them.
No. What you are seeing is the REACTION to what even the loving Pravda Media referred to as a “velvet revolution” (soft) when the Socialists in the Obama Administration took power in January.
The revolution is already here. The American people are pushing back and saying NO. Obama’s agenda is a violation of the founding principles of this nation. Nationalizing some industries, bankrupting the treasury, and socializing medicine. People voted for a face, not his policies.
Hopefully, the revolt will include the electoral defeat of Meghan’s pop in short order.
Ga-ga.
He still thinks that he and the other politicians can do whatever they want to us. He is on the same side as Obama and they all want to grow the government until there's nowhere else to go for food, cars, health care, education, etc.
Time will tell if there is real revolution in the air, but if there is, John McCain will be sitting right beside Barrack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Arlen Specter, etc. on the unemployment line.
GO F YOURSELF MCCAIN, YOU TREASONOUS BASTARD.
Trying to hijack conservatism for yourself and the rest of your RINO brethren is sickening.
Huh?
It depends primarily on how long the unemployment lines get, and when the benefits run out.
But that is not the only flashpoint - 0bama's arrogance and ignorance have seen to that!

Agreed.
A man with the best health care in the world telling these people to be respctful. What a Dork.
You respect him for this comment, too?

Speaking Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, said Kennedy, who has been absent because of ill health, could have made a big difference in the tortuous process of trying to find a bipartisan compromise on healthcare.
Kennedy’s absence has made a “huge, huge difference” in the Senate, McCain said. “No person in that institution is indispensable, but Ted Kennedy comes as close to being indispensable as any individual I’ve ever known in the Senate, because he had a unique way of sitting down with the parties at a table and making the right concessions, which really are the essence of successful negotiations.”
McCain!....You irrelevant POS!
Won’t the RATs simply extend unemployment benefits like they always do?
Peaceful my ass!
Is this the POS we were offered instead of Odinga? He offers nothing to me, an old white guy, what the hell did the GOP think would sell this RINO to the Dims?
No wonder the socialist muslim Mack Daddy won!
“I for one don’t think a peaceful revolt will work. “
Me neither, but it’s me, you, and a handful of people around the country...I have no hope for America.
It’s every man for himself.
I’m already on the list.
John Mc is changing his positions, moving to the right, to retain his Senate seat, nothing more. Once re-elected, he’ll just morph back into a senile, middle-of-the-road RINO. He should really retire now, with some semblance of dignity.
I'm sure they will, but that really only plays to their "core constituents". Everyone else, besides having some personal pride, are used to making much more than they can collect in unemployment benefits and they won't sit still for long.
0bama and his thugs think people are stupid, and rightfully so, after all he won the election, as he is so fond of pointing out, but how does that old saying go
"You can fool all of the people some of the time ..."
John, if I’ve said it once I’ve said it 100 times... STFU already and disappear...
Just a reminder... Teddy Roosevelt is one of his most admired Presidents in history. That says it all...
McLame is a progressive with an R by his name... PERIOD...
McCain, you are truly pathetic. A thug is trying to destroy this nation—YOUR NATION, as I understand it—and you tell everyone to be respectful!!?? What is wrong with you? Have you learned to be a limp-wristed sell-out from Grahamnesty, or were you always just that? Why don’t you resign and allow a man to run for your seat next year. You know—an actual American male!
And I love every minute of it.
He’s a dead senile horse. He should go off and dote on his Grandchildren.
“I think you are seeing the beginning of a peaceful, and
let me emphasize peaceful, revolt in America.”
Let me emphacize that I have 500 more rounds of 7.62X39 &
more Molle gear that arrived today from cheaperthandirt.
Thanks for nada and calla te Juan.
“I think you are seeing the beginning of a peaceful, and let me emphasize peaceful, revolt in America.”
McCain, you have never been so wrong in your life. Certainly, a revolt that brings this country to a complete standstill may happen first ( that might take as much as a week or two), but we are headed into a storm, the likes of which none of us would have wanted.
Quit your RINO denial, John, pull your head out of the sand and go home... it’s time for you to just shut up and go fishing.
I guess you didn’t see where he wants to compromise on health care and give them a plan they can live with. He also says Bozo respects the constitution, said that today at a town hall meeting and was booed down for it. McCain is a frickin’ RINO of the first order and will never change. I wouldn’t follow that old coot to a barbecue let alone into any type of political situation.
Well said, lol.
Until Obama's thugs realize that their guy is doomed to one term, and there is no way to prevent him from losing.
Then the socialist goons will get violent.
