McCain faces angry crowd at Gilbert town-hall meeting by Parker Leavitt
(AZcentral.com, August 9, 2011)

U.S. Sen. John McCain's town-hall meeting Monday in Gilbert (AZ) broke down into a shouting match at times as "tea-party" activists directed their anger and frustration toward the senator over issues ranging from his characterization of them as "hobbits" to the nation's sagging economy. At one point during McCain's first town hall since last fall, a heated verbal exchange between two men prompted the senator to call for "a modicum of courtesy" and sent town officials scurrying for more security.

(snip)

Tea-party activists called McCain "out of touch" when the senator said he didn't know about United Nations "Agenda 21". One man described the initiative as a "takeover of the United States of America by taking over our farms."

"First our firearms, then our farms," another man added.

McCain said no Congress would allow that to happen, but that didn't satisfy several in the room who subscribed to the theory.

To be fair, the UN has always been known for its emphasis on farming. And for "taking over" sovereign nations.

Honestly, if right-wing extremists didn't have crippling fear, just what WOULD they have?

[Wait Wut]

1. Can't believe he kept his cool...

...and didn't just go off on the whole crowd. I know damned well he wanted to.

[MineralMan]

2. "just what WOULD they have?"

Heads containing a near perfect vacuum, I suspect. If it isn't fed to them, they can't think it.

3. "My fellow prisoners..." n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Wow, Agenda 21 from 1992! Trying to keep sustantiable development. How awful that some on this

planet try not to pave over everything in sight!

6. The ignorance is frightening.

I know we also have some crazy conspiracy theorists on our side but I don't think they're as numerous or loud, and few if any of them have gotten elected.

I'm happy to see at least some Republicans, like McCain, standing up to them.

[klook]

7. First our firearms, then our farms

and then our Frams! Without oil and air filters, the nation will grind to a standstill.

8. "The UN with the blue helmets and the black helicopters

gunna take away our guns and our farms and make us socialists and turn us all gay!1!!1!1" :crazy:
Sorry, Magoo, when you lie down with the dogs....

10. They paint handicapped parking spots blue, too...

so when they invade the US, they have all the best parking spots!!!

(I actually read this in a novel once, a conspiracy theory put forth by a flaming paranoid idiot. I had no idea that a few years later it would be something some foll might take seriously!)

[no_hypocrisy]

9. They aren't listening to Republicans.

They can't hear above the shouting in their heads.

[CJCRANE]

11. I don't know whether to...

:rofl:

or

:crazy:

or

:scared:

12. OK, who forgot to brief McCain about "Agenda 21"?

I think he's still a product of "Plan 9".

[klook]

15. Hmmm, you've got a point there.

13. they probably should be more worried about Monsanto

taking over their farms, since they seem to be copyrighting everything that can be planted.

These people do not realize that its for their own good. Agenda 21 would create a cleaner, safe and less toxic environment for all of us. But some selfish farmers do ot know that. The land that would be needed for the buffer zone is not going to anybodies hands. Morons

[a simple pattern]
