The irony being that F-bomb dropping McCain would demand courtesy from those he disagrees with. During a campaign event in Michigan, McCain quickly learned that AFL-CIO members are less-than-pleased with his open-borders, amnesty-granting positions.

Sen. John McCain threatened Tuesday to cut short a speech to union leaders who booed his immigration views and later challenged his statements on organized labor and the Iraq war.

“If you like, I will leave,” McCain told the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, pivoting briefly from the lectern. He returned to the microphone after the crowd quieted.

“OK, then please give me the courtesy I would give you.”

Yeah, courtesy for the opposition on immigration. Right.

…the senator outlined his position on the Senate immigration debate, saying tougher border enforcement must be accompanied by guest-worker provisions that give illegal immigrants a legal path toward citizenship.

Murmurs from the crowd turned to booing. “Pay a decent wage!” one audience member shouted.

“I’ve heard that statement before,” McCain said before threatening to leave.

Afterward, the senator said he offered to cut his speech short “because I wanted to be heard.”

McCain’s sudden change of heart isn’t authentic, but only a politically-convenient alteration. He continues to insist the shamnesty he and his buddy Ted Kennedy tried to shove down our throats last year wasn’t amnesty.
