McCain says protesters 'just don't get it' David Edwards and Diane Sweet

Print This Email This Republican presidential contender Senator John McCain held a town hall rally in Davenport, Iowa just moments ago this afternoon.



As McCain asks the crowd "Who is ready to lead," protesters holding signs that read 'No more war' with photos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono began chanting "No More War," and then calls of "We want John" filled the hall.



Senator McCain's speech is completely stopped by the crowd, and it is so raucus that it's difficult to discern if there are McCain supporters trying to drown out anti-war protesters by chanting "We want John," or if the calls for John are referencing John Lennon.



Lennon's birthday was on October 9, and he would have been 68 years old this year had he not been gunned down in front of his NYC home in 1980



As the crowd finally settles, a smiling McCain says "There's a perfect example of some people that just don't get it." and continues on with his speech on bi-partisan efforts needed to confront the crisis that faces the nation.
