McCain to Kiev: don't treat your protesters like we treat ours.

He went to Kiev. HIs twitter released a photo of him on stage with protesters.
and he opened his mouth:

Sen. McCain says if security forces break up protests in Kiev 'it would provoke more concrete action' from Congress, including possible sanctions
according to NBC news.

Maybe for our next protests, Kiev officials can come over here and stick up for us????

You know, I really intensely disliked this guy, he is such a blatant opportunist.

The government of the Ukraine can designate certain areas -- they don't need to be where public officials, media representatives, or the general public will readily notice them -- and tell the protestors to confine their activities to those areas. The police won't arrest anyone except the radicals who stray outside the free speech zones.

Surely Gramps couldn't have any objection to that arrangement?

for once I wish they refused entry to a US Senator. He has zero business there.
