These people are cowards.
Didn't code Pink also interrupt it?
And, yes, Code Pink also interrupted McCain's speech.. Twice. And also interrupted Palin's speech.
And with all these sarcastic, jibing on both McCain's and Palin's part, I'm amazed at how HATEFUL these Republicans (delegates and audience members included) are willing to appear!

They missed the guy with the "McCain called his wife a cunt." sign.
I can't imagine how much money just three seconds of TV is worth in advertising dollars alone across all networks.
And guys, the green screen again? Walter Reed high school? Oh holy crap, they can't even find a stock photo of Walter Reed Hospital? I'm sure the retarded delegates in attendance didn't bat an eye.
Is there any footage of the monster truck pulls they had as intermission?
This is clearly argument by slogan.

Rush Limbaugh. Close enough!
According to Fox News, the "green screen" behind him is the lawn of a the Walter Reed Jr. High School in North Hollywood.

I heard this on NPR as well.
Apparently someone typed in 'Walter Reed' in an video search engine and took the first pretty one that came up (not realizing it was a Junior High School and not the military hospital) and obviously didn't bother to ask if they could use this public school's image as a backdrop to a political convention talk.
NPR also reported that their use of "Barracuda" by the band Heart was done without asking permission (though the GOP did pay a blanket licensing fee to ASCAP), and the band and their label have filed a 'cease and desist' order against the Republican Party. Heart also said the use was "ironic" because the term 'barracuda' in the song represents the soulless music business of the 70's.
