Who Are You Callin' Scum, Algae Man

Today John McCain said, regarding Code Pink, protestors against Henry Kissinger in Congress, "Get out of here, you low-life scum."

Moreover, he went further to say, “I've been a member of this committee for many years, and I have never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable as the last demonstration that just took place.

Here's the 'you scum' sound bite.  Download it and use it as you like.  With a bit of slicing and dicing, you could make one peach of a campaign commercial for him.


Henry Kissinger was a primary with Nixon in the overthrow the legally-elected leftist government of Salvador Allende in Chile.  With CIA doing the dirty work, Kissinger got it done and, by the end of the day, Allende was dead.  To this day, the circumstances of his death are not clear.  (GWU:  National Security Archive)

Even more heinous, Kissinger said to Pinochet, one of the worst dictators of the twentieth century, "We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the West in overthrowing Allende."


Before McCain again accuses someone of being 'scum,' he would do well to revisit Biology 101 to discover exactly what the word means.  Amazingly enough, 'dissenter' is not synonymous.  He might also do well to look up 'railbird' as that's someone who criticizes without knowing.
