McCain To Demonstrators: "Shut Up Or I'll Have You Arrested," "Get Out Of Here You Low Life Scum"

About a dozen anti-war protesters interrupted a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing with former Secs. of State Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright, and George Shultz on Capitol Hill this morning. "In the name of the people" of Chile, Vietnam, East Timur, Cambodia and Laos, they chanted "arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes" until they were dragged out and Sen. McCain regained control of the room.





SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R-AR), CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE: I'll say to my colleagues and to our distinguished witnesses this morning that I have been a member of this committee for many years and I have never seen anything as disgraceful, outrageous, and despicable as the last demonstration that just took place--



You're gonna have to shut up or I'm going to have you arrested.



If we can't get the capitol hill police in here immediately. Get out of here you low life scum.



So Henry, I hope you will, Dr. Kissinger, I hope, on behalf of all of the members of this committee, we on both sides of the aisle, in fact from all of my colleagues I would like to apologize for allowing such disgraceful behavior towards a man who has served his country with the greatest distinction. I apologize profusely.
