From MichaelMoore.com: "McCain's one-liners don't hold a flame to the passion of the protesters.
The National Association of Latino Elected Officials left with war on their minds.

Hecklers disrupt McCain's speech repeatedlyBy Bret Hovell and Jennifer Duck / ABC News
WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was interrupted repeatedly by hecklers as he and his likely Democratic presidential opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., separately addressed the National Association of Latino Elected Officials Saturday, at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C.
McCain was interrupted four times by protestors, three of whom were identifiable as CodePink members. Four separate interruptions (as opposed to the number of people protesting, which can vary) may tie a record for recent McCain events.
In Denver in late May, McCain was interrupted four times during a foreign policy speech.
One of the protestors spoke in Spanish, then translated as she was getting hauled out of the room: "Your silence is consent to war crimes," she shouted at the crowd, which booed her.
Three of the protestors were women, one was a man.
Of the first protestor, a woman from Code Pink who frequents most of McCain's stops in Washington, McCain quipped, "That's a very familiar voice to me."
The woman was protesting the Iraq war, saying that she wanted a "peace candidate."
