The Rude Pundit isn't sure who he hates more in this moment from a town hall meeting in some damn town in Arizona. This was a day after his jerkilicious town hall Tuesday where people got their blood all het up on immigration.
Could it be McCain? Here's a hint: if a woman stands up and says that her son was killed seven months before in the mass shooting in Aurora, CO, you don't open any statement you're going to make with "You need some straight talk." No, what Caren Teves needs is her son back and what she doesn't need is the Senate's most misanthropic leprechaun farting his failed presidential campaign slogan at her.
Or perhaps it's the idiots in the front there recording the moment on their phones, preserving the memory of that time a grieving mother was told to go fuck herself with her gun ban because Congress is made up of people of both parties who are bought and paid for by the NRA and gun manufacturers.
No, the most loathsome people are the ones who clap and cheer after McCain "straight talks" the woman by saying, "That assault weapons ban will not pass the Congress of the United States." Yeah, you could excuse McCain, who seems on the verge of calling everyone around him "cocksuckers" under his breath, because he really was honest about the chances of the assault weapons ban, although no one would mistake it for a profile in courage.
But the yahoos clapping for more weapons like the ones that killed Neves' son? They deserve to be put in a bamboo cage until they learn some goddamn manners.

In my observations, these chest-thumping, don't-need-no-stinkin-gubmint types turn to the government really fast when they get into a pinch, if they're not already benefiting from government programs and regulations.

May they all encounter an accident while lovingly stroking and cleaning their guns.
