I should never be shocked by the bad manners on the left but this stunt just might haunt them more than Wellstone's funeral. There is a key rattling stunt/taunt growing in popularity amongst the Democrats. Some may try to play it off as mocking him for having so many houses but the truth is that the jingling keys are to imitate the prison guards at the Hanoi Hilton. Whatever they're thinking they better stop it soon because even apolitical types will side with McCain out of sympathy if for no other reason. I learned the true meaning of this key rattle thing by lurking at DU. With over 200 responses to the thread it appears 50/50 in support/disapproval of the key rattling stunt. It's something that needs to be seen to be believed.

Ladies and gentleman, President John McCain!

Nothing they can do or have done surprises me anymore.
I saw this too.
It appears that these little bastards consider anything, literally anything, to be on the table. Fine. Obambi is already noted for his incredibly thin skin. McCain, I believe, is made of sterner stuff. But what goes around comes around. We should not let this stand.
Tell your friends.
Political suicide.
If they are stupid enough to do such a thing.
Would be like bringing watermelons to an Obama event, and claiming it was about being environmentally green on the outside and commie red on the inside.
Nobody is going to buy it even if that was the true point.
I noted the push on McCain’s mental status as well.
These people write like high school kids - is that what the Dimmys are made up of these days?
I need a shower. Good catch but wear boots if you visit folks!

I don’t know how, but could someone do a screen capture? They are known to “disappear” threads if they get negative outsider attention.
Just one more way these knuckleheads glorify the our communist enemies. It’s all in character.
I heard a libtard on TV last night or this morning saying that she thinks McCain is exploiting his POW status.
Excuse me! How can you exploit yourself?! He was a POW. Period. There is nothing to exploit.
Furthermore, how can she or anyone else question him on that point?! There are plenty of things to criticize McCain on, but his POW background is not one of them.
Screen captured. Will also save the HTML Doc to my computer.
Did anyone get this to Michele Malkin???It is right up her alley.
Who is suggesting the keys stunt? The original post is stating not to do this. Where did the suggestion originate?
Screen capture if you can. PJComix that does the DUmmie Funnies has been pinged.
Unreal that people like that are in our country.
Thanks. I want to know where the idea to do this originated. The original post is against this idea.
Sounds like it could be KOS. Or that particular thread is addressing another one posted there.
51. Its getting a boat-load of attention already and will continue to
Biden's best line on Saturday was the "7 kitchen tables" joke. THAT is the way to do it. Thats how you make it stick. Variations on a long-running theme, not one big stunt that can be horribly, horribly misconstrued into something disastrous
..and McCain response to that was that there was a time in his life when he did not have a kitchem table.
People understood exactly what he meant.
Ping to screen capture if thread is scrubbed.
I emailed the link Mark Levin. I hope he gets it in time to talk about on his show.
That's what I got from skimming. Didn't want to walk all the way in.
