John Conyers blast John McCain over his actions on the Martin Luther King Holiday vote
On the TV

Conyers: When John McCain was my colleague in the House and I introduced the Holiday bill, he voted against it in 1983…Now I believe in forgiveness, but it’s incredible that all he can do is show up on April 4th and think that everything is OK. We’re not just African Americans, but we’re most people.

Host: Rep. Conyers I think in all fairness we should say , perhaps you did not hear it but certainly John McCain did offer an apology for that first vote in 1983 when you did put forward that bill.

You had not heard that? He did make that apology sir so that he regretted voting that way back then.

Conyers: Yea, well look. I’m happy. That was in 1983, he didn’t make any apology, he didn’t make any apologies in 1987, so I guess I’m thrilled and forgiving that finally when he’s running for President he remembers to apologize. No, that’s great. (satirically)

Host: Well, he has done so today and perhaps you’ll take that as some sort of appeasement, but anyway…

Updated: Nice job the host did in trying to praise John McCain’s phony apology today. Yea, just get appeased! I mean this is ridiculous. It’s like her job to make excuses for John McCain’s actions.

Good job by Conyers for calling McSame on it too. Conyers was obviously not buying her line of reasoning. If John McCain thinks he can go down to Memphis and throw out a few words to try and appease his actions, he’s got another thing coming. Of course the media will paint him as a brave man, straight talking away his prior sins, but he was almost 50 years old when he joined the HOUSE of Representatives and voted down MLK Day.

1. Damn it, I am SICK of the media covering McShame's fucking ass!

I saw the clip where he was booed, and he absolutely deserved it!

There was not excuse for him voting against that bill, and his lame-assed apology didn't do a lot toward making it any better.

3. AP radio news just did the same thing

their leading story was on McCain and total bullshit.
He was booed, we know that, anyway, good that they talked to Conyers, at least.

2. The boos are the best part.

We're going to be seeing (and hearing) that clip for a long time.

4. If you were John McCain, why would you go into a situation.

knowing that you'd have to apologize for something you did? Why bring attention to the fact that you voted against the holiday?

It makes no sense!

5. For the Alan Keyes vote

and Kenneth Blackwell vote?

6. Oh, McCain knew what he was doing all these years!

So, screw him! He was just sucking up to his white, comfortable fat cats in Arizona, friends of his wife whom he started screwing while he was married to his disabled wife who had stood by him while he was a POW.

What a great guy! What a role model for Americans.

The hell with him. He disgusts me...
