McCain calls high school student a ‘little jerk.’

McCain calls high school student a ‘little jerk.’
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) snidely responded to a high school student who challenged whether he was too old and too conservative to be president. McCain jokingly referred to the questioner as “a little jerk” who ought to be drafted:
An unflinching John McCain was told Tuesday by New Hampshire high school students he might be too old to be president and too conservative to be respected.
McCain, the Arizona senator whose presidential bid has stumbled through the summer, countered the Concord High School students with humor.
“Thanks for the question, you little jerk,” McCain joked back to one student who asked the 71-year-old about his age. “You’re drafted.”

Why are Lefties so humorless?
September 4th, 2007 at 12:17 pmMcPain getting a little edgy about his poll numbers?
John, we don’t have a draft, remember?
Maybe you are senile…
September 4th, 2007 at 12:18 pmHey McCain!
AS A CANDIDATE, YOU’RE DEAD IN THE WATER.
Comedy - NOT the Repukes strong point.
Joking about the draft? F8ck you, stupid old man.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:18 pmMcCain is not going to be the Repub nominee – but that fact will never stop prog-kidz from “respecting” the elderly….
September 4th, 2007 at 12:18 pmTabloid day at TP
September 4th, 2007 at 12:18 pmI thought military service was honorable, not a punishment.
McCain is a bitter, bitter man.

Comment by Ringo
They take themselves so seriously, they wear their angst as a symbol of concern – no substance, but LOTS of symbolism. Of course, they are very goood at sleaze jokes…..
September 4th, 2007 at 12:21 pmSounds like there are at least a few sentient students alive and well in America.
New Hampshire motto: “Live Free or Die”
September 4th, 2007 at 12:21 pmI’m sure it was a joke but not a very well executed one. Heck, at least he doesn’t have far for his poll numbers to drop.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:21 pmMcCain is an old jerk. He should be ‘daft’ed…
See what I did there? I used McCain’s brand of humor.
Does it make the trolls laugh? I doubt it… to them, humor isn’t funny unless its an insult against those they disagree with. Insult someone they DO agree with and all of a sudden it ain’t so funny, is it? Such is the definition of hipocracy.
One would hope my example would show them the error of their ways… but again, I doubt it.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:22 pmSeems like a valid, sarcastic response. To answer the student’s question: McCain is not too old or too conservative to be President. However, he has divorced himself of his moral values in order to jump on board The Bush Bandwagon — therefore, he is wholly unqualified to be President.

Why do dumba$$ wingnuts joke about death/war?
Meet Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, George Carlin, Chris Rock, etc., all “lefty” comedians, IDIOT.
And all you have is a pissy-pants Dennis Miller, not funny in the least, unless you have an affinity for dry drunks…
Besides, repukes are just mad that one of their kind is such a friggin’ MORON.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:23 pmWe could remember another of InVain’s jokes which fell flat:
“Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran…….”
September 4th, 2007 at 12:24 pmAnd remember, “Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” is HIGH-larious!!!
Let the comedians do the comedy. Your poll ratings would be higher, old man.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:24 pmThey’re saying that McCain is using humor with his audience when he calls an audience member a “little jerk”?
Is McCain now morphing into Don Rickles?
September 4th, 2007 at 12:24 pmfrom the link:
But during a town hall-style meeting, students were more interested in pushing McCain on the environment, his support for gay rights and even his age.
…
i’m guessing that most of the citizens at that mccain TOWN HALL meeting were NOT progs…
and respect is EARNED… by ANYone’s standards…
September 4th, 2007 at 12:24 pmor should be…

They take themselves so seriously, they wear their angst as a symbol of concern – no substance, but LOTS of symbolism. Of course, they are very goood at sleaze jokes…..

We don’t take war and death lightly enough to joke about it like you sick f*cks.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:27 pmYou know, if McCain had just kept his promise after last year’s election, none of this would have happened.

Hmmm… what happenned to the Half Hour News Hour, that was supposed to be the right’s answer to the daily show?
September 4th, 2007 at 12:29 pmbut, for the record, i actually thought it was a good jab…
we age-ed can get a little testy about the “too old” thing…
especially from a “little jerk” (i would’ve said “punk”)…
just sayin’…
yea, a “joke” about the draft is unbecoming…
but, recalling mccave’s type of humor, this is his style…
i sure wish he’d quit while (somewhat) ahead…
September 4th, 2007 at 12:30 pmhis decline is rather sad to watch…
…
The right wings idea of Humor is Larry the Cable and Ernst goes to Camp.
Fart jokes and other bodily function, and a general apathy about their own lack of education comprises the comedy diet of the right wing.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:31 pmOf course, they are very goood at sleaze jokes…..
Comment by mighty aphrodite
————————————————————-
Must be their heightened sense of nuance that allows them the ability to see the profound, hidden humor in simple, childish, scatological jokes…not to mention the sophisticated word-play involved in such phrases as ‘RePUKElican’ or ‘RepubliSCUM’.
Hysterical stuff.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:32 pm“I came here looking to see a good leader,” 16-year-old William Sleaster told McCain to boos. “I don’t.”
His dad better have his taxes in top notch shape.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:32 pmI don’t know, guys….this seems to be much ado about nothing. It was just a joke, and a far better joke than “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran”…
September 4th, 2007 at 12:33 pmOf course, they are very goood at sleaze jokes…..
Comment by righty aphrodite — September 4, 2007 @ 12:21 pm
Well thanks, but we can’t take all the credit for that.
After all, you guys keep giving us so much good material to work with.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:34 pmPoor McCain, what makes him likable as a politician makes him unqualified as a President. Humor is great, as long as it’s not done at the expense of someone else.
His response might have been “Yes, I’m old. Compared to you. But then again, compared to some of you out there Brett Favre is old. Compared to Bob Dole, I’m a whippersnapper.”
See? Funny, lighthearted. Not “you’re a jerk, you’re drafted.”
September 4th, 2007 at 12:39 pmWhy do assume that I’m conservative, just because I can take a joke. I didn’t see anything about death in his little remark. He made a joke about drafting a kid who gave him a tough question. It wasn’t an extremely funny joke after the fact, but I’m sure it drew laughter at the event.
Seriously though, if you can’t take a joke, give up.
My name? Turd Ferguson.. It’s a funny name.

So great to see the right is more full of hate than the left, even when ‘trying’ to be funny.

I thought it was pretty funny, here is a young person standing up to power and speaking their mind and all McCain could retort with was, “Little Jerk”
September 4th, 2007 at 12:47 pmGo back to Canada you turd bugler, you.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:47 pmI also thought he said it jokingly. Not a very good joke, tho. I guess we had to be there.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:48 pmMcCain should relaize that the Coulter school of humor is out of style.
And thats whats funny!

The real question is, why adopt Burt Reynolds’ name?

How bout going with you Big Screen idols name,
September 4th, 2007 at 12:55 pmJeff Stryker!!!!!
An old lesson to get respect you give respect.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:56 pmThe question the young man asked is a good one.
McCain is up set and angry because he could have told the young man, With age comes wisdom. I’m sure this young man has grandparents who he looks to for answers or history. It’s nothing wrong with being older it is something every people will do if they live long enough. Young people ask the right questions and should be respected by giving an honest answer.
Burt Reynolds’ name?
Comment by Bruce Gorton
People with low self-esteem often gravitate towards iconic status, even though Reynold’s expired in 1980…
September 4th, 2007 at 12:56 pmBecause I’m Burt Reynolds. Thank god someone around here knows who I am. Who the eff is jeff stryker? Your boyfriend from canada?
September 4th, 2007 at 12:57 pmHonestly I didn’t see anything abnormal about McCains, joke.
Right wingers just can’t deliver a joke in good humor, because underlying the joke is their contempt for the people they’re talking to.
Its that contempt that comes through, along with their consistent series of unfortunately chosen words.
The funniest thing about John McCain is his campaign.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:57 pmHmm, a bonifed RETARD referring to me as such for simply making fun of your name?
What’s wrong? Not funny when your the butt of the joke, is it TURD?
September 4th, 2007 at 12:58 pmWait – McCain is still running?

September 4th, 2007 at 12:58 pmhaha, ohh i feel so bad now. I’m sooo depressed because these fagos made fun of me on the internets. It’s not really burt reynolds who used this name tardo.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:58 pmDidn’t any candidate learn not to attempt to tell a joke? Kerry couldn’t tell a joke if he was reading it out loud and Bush is just one loooong running joke evertime he opens his trap.
Maybe McCain is trying out for a career after his pitiful crash and burn.
The real joke is that this guy still thinks he has any credibility.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:59 pmThat’s hilarious.
September 4th, 2007 at 12:59 pmGee, McCain calling a high school kid “a little jerk” is almost as uproariously funny a joke as Dick Cheney telling Patrick Leahy to go F%*% himself. What wonderful wit and clever joke-telling these Republicans have. Such mirth and joy follows them everywhere they go.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:00 pmAnyway, I never said the joke was funny, just that it was a joke. Get over yourselves.

The definition of a joke includes comedic value.
Maybe this is why you guys suck at comedy?

Hey look another (R) attacking (R) Senator Craig, how funny!
September 4th, 2007 at 1:04 pmp.s – i’d rather be a little jerk than a lying old scumbag
September 4th, 2007 at 1:07 pmIf McCain knew how to deliver humor (and if his humor didn’t stem from a deepseated hatred of his audience) then he would have substituted the word “wiseguy”, for “little jerk”, and everyone would have laughed along with him.
Republicans just got screwed on the funny gene.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:07 pmI can’t stand the man, but that was funny.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:08 pmSorry, but as a member of the Left, I must agree with Ringo (against most of you) that TP and “the left” are coming off as rather humorless and decontextualizing with this post. I must say it’s a rather shady decision to even write this up as news (it’s nothing but fluff).
September 4th, 2007 at 1:09 pmIchthus, no joke had to be told about Craig. The entire situation was naturally funny. The essence of humor according to Kant is the incongruous. It was completely incongruous for an uptight Senator who consistently opposed homosexual rights to be caught trolling for man sex in a public restroom. It didn’t need a humourous caption at all to be a national joke.

You mean republicans think Jon Stewart is a real journalist.
Otherwise why would Fox news spend so much time trying to discredit him?
September 4th, 2007 at 1:12 pmRight-tards think Bush is a real president.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:13 pmTurd Ferguson > you.
Anyway, I guarantee this got laughs wherever he said it. Obviously it’s not terribly funny after the fact. If he had said “Thanks for the question you little jerk, why don’t you go join the army and die in an Iraqi fire fight” that would have taken it too far. He didn’t though, he said “you’re drafted”. Obviously the gentleman wasn’t REALLY drafted, and therein lies the ‘humor’ of the situation. I don’t find it particularly funny, but it was a joke. Get over it.
I love how I’ve been branded a conservative because I defended McCain’s right to crack a bad joke!

September 4th, 2007 at 1:15 pmRightards think John McCain is still playing with a full deck.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:16 pmMcCain should hire Triumph The Insult Comic Dog to coach him if he wants to use this kind of insulting humor schtick.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:16 pmI get it. So he was joking around. But you still have to question his judgment.
Remember this one, righties?
“Do you know where you end up if you don’t study, if you aren’t smart, if you’re intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq.”
Also poor judgment.
Presidential candidates can’t afford to engage in edgy “humor.” That’s just the way it is.

September 4th, 2007 at 1:31 pmNow do you dress them up and such, or does your mom come in to do their makeup?
September 4th, 2007 at 1:31 pmJohn McCains problem is he hates the kids he’s talking to, because they are not willing to glaze their eyes over, strap on armbands and goosestep to the wardance.
So his poorly cloaked jabs convey the hostility that he has for the audience.
September 4th, 2007 at 1:33 pmThere goes the neighborhood.

Well, like the new/old saying goes:
“If the boot fits, time to polish your SS badge.”
September 4th, 2007 at 2:05 pmIf you watch the video of this, it actually is rather humorous. He answers the kids question (the question itself drew laughter), then, obviously joking, says “thanks for the question, you little jerk” waits for laughter, which there was plenty of, and then says ‘you’re drafted’ which drew more laughter. It was lighthearted throughout the entire portion of the session in which this occurred.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:08 pmF*ck you, NAZI dickeater!!!
Uh oh, looks like I struck a nerve again in my ‘D’ student, college puke!

I don’t know. You’ll have to ask Bush about that.
He’s the one that turned the West Wing into the Reichstag.

I keep telling you guys I don’t swing that way.
Try Mr P.
September 4th, 2007 at 3:06 pm“I’m sure it was a joke but not a very well executed one.”
And yet the audience laughed rather enthusiastically.
I agree with TripMaster Monkey (#31), “this seems to be much ado about nothing.”
September 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pmI have a feeling McCain will be the next candidate to drop out of this race.
He’s is about as enthusatic as Hillary Clinton is.
It’s a no-brainer this election, definitely Ron Paul is the man.
September 4th, 2007 at 4:12 pmWith all that is going on in this country and the world, this is what the Press wants to sell as news? Lighten up! Can’t you leave this poor old geezer alone?
September 4th, 2007 at 4:18 pmIf you wanna know about the righties humor, just take a look at how well the half hour news hour did.
Now that is a fu*king joke.

I gave you the opportunity to come out of your security blanket enclave and meet me in Kentucky. You refused. I will be out there again this month. Want to try again? How about sending your wanna-be instructor?

No I am referring to Jon Stewart, and he discredits himself as being a real source of news all the time simply by being on Comedy Central. His show is a policial satire and a border line comical farce.

Or you could see another big joke with Al Frankin time on Air America. BTW does he have a show anymore on that network?

September 4th, 2007 at 5:53 pmWhat a disrespectful little jerk that student was. It was great to see the student humiliated in front of his peers. TP made it sound like the jerk was the victim. He deserved getting skewered.

You’re right, the JERK McCain did deserve getting skewered. You f*cking little b!tch.

No, I am talking about Jon Stewart. I pretty sure his show is on Comedy Central.
I don’t live in Kentucky. I live in Dallas. I asked him to meet me at a job site for a hospital addition that I am doing construction administration for. He refused and said that I would have come to his so called “training” facility. Would you like to take BARTLEBEE’s place?

Would it be asking too much to let Spudge_Boy reply? Are you his keeper?
September 4th, 2007 at 7:35 pmDo you think you might die in office or get Alzheimer’s?
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
September 5th, 2007 at 10:25 amEat shyte McCain
Just goes to show what a bunch of pussies this society has made boys his age. Years of telling boys they are bad and girls that they are perfect has worked to make boys a bunch of faggots now. What a shame.
September 5th, 2007 at 11:07 amBobsyouruncle- you are an example of the faggot boys that I mentioned above. Any male that is a democrat or a liberal should have been born with a vag!
September 5th, 2007 at 11:10 amI’m a senior at this school. The only reason why anyone laughed is because no one likes the kid who asked that question. It still doesn’t make what McCain said right though.
September 5th, 2007 at 1:10 pmI was the kid who asked about his age. First I’m going to try to explain myself. This event was on much shorter notice than the rest of the presidential events that have happened at CHS. I had completely forgotten about the event until right before it happened, so I had like 15 minutes to think of a question. If I had had some more time to think about it, I probably could have found a better way to ask it, one that wasn’t so blunt. But still, age is something to worry about. Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer’s while in office and it affected how he governed. I’ve had two grandparents die, one from Alzheimer’s, and they weren’t much older than McCain. McCain may have a lot of energy and vigor now, but think four years down the road, or maybe even eight. OK, that’s enough explanation for myself.
Now on to McCain’s response. I think the “you little jerk” comment was perfectly okay with me. I could tell that he was joking, and even if he hadn’t been joking it would have been okay because I had asked him a pretty tough question. The bigger controversy around my high school was William Sleaster’s disrespectful comment about McCain not being a good leader.
@ the person above me: the “no one likes the kid” part wasn’t necessary — or true for that matter.
September 6th, 2007 at 10:52 amAs an unapologetic liberal, a lot of things that conservative politicians say bother me. But I don’t fault McCain for calling his questioner a jerk, it showed McCain’s sense of humor, and his willingness to take risks. I don’t fault the questioner either, since his question was valid. In a democracy, we have the right to free speech, but we also need to be ready to endure the consequences (like being called a jerk) of being outspoken, as this little exchange to aptly illustrated.
September 12th, 2007 at 5:13 pmLiberalism: Why think when I can “feel”. Unless, of course, I am hurling my own ridiculous insults at someone I hate (Petraeus or anyone on the right). Of course, those I aim my insults at don’t “feel”, it’s all about my feeling(s).
I say stay with it liberals – your non thinking approach is working great (not) for your causes… I love it. I think you should take more moveon.org funds and you deserve the terrible press fallout from that “smart” (again.. no thinking with you all) move. laughing all the way to the election – cry babies!
