McCain Booed at Martin Luther King Speech

I read an article written by Will Thomas from the Huffington Post. The article was called McCain Booed at Martin Luther King Speech. Many years ago McCain had voted against and strongly opposed a federal holiday devoted to Martin Luther King. As he's stating this the entire crowd started booing him and he had to try to talk over them. I think it's ridiculous that they would do something like that, I mean in my opinion McCain knows he made a mistake and is admitting that to America and we can't cut him a break? Everyone makes mistakes including presidents or cadidates. It had to be hard on him to say that in front of millions and risk his chances of becoming president but he did it and we should respect him for that. McCain also stated that he "was largely unaware on the importance of King's work at the time".
