No wonder your kids are all fuc't up....

Quote:

Speaking at Murrells Inlet VFW Hall in South Carolina, McCain was asked when he thought the US Military might "send an air mail message to Tehran."

"McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song," the Georgetown Times reports.

"'Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,' he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann," the paper notes.


Link.


Very ******* mature and 'statesmanlike'.

I heard that clip of him last night. You have to wonder if he had that comment handy or just came up with it on the spot. Or maybe he's been walking around humming that to himself for weeks now.

Or, more likely, he was hanging out with his old war buddies at the VFW hall before he gave his speach, and several of them made up the song bit as a joke, so he repeated it back to them during the Q&A.

I kinda agree with his statement. Lighten up. It was a joke. And a real one. And it was about another country. Unlike some politicians on the other side of the aisle who seem to think it's ok to make non-joke demeaning statements about our own armed forces. I think if I had to choose between the two, I'd rather have a president that was looking out for our nations interests, not attacking his own people in order to appease someone else's.

Was a common lyrical adaptation of the song heard during and after the hostage crisis. My dad bought me a T-Shirt that said that at the time.

The AP article continues, "Asked if his joke was insensitive, McCain said: 'Insensitive to what? The Iranians?'"

This comes from the guy who said "I hate the gooks.... I will hate them as long as I live."


Nope, not an insensitive guy at all.

Unforgiving might be more appropriate given what the "Gooks" did to him.

Was this McCain's "Dean Scream", or is it too soon?

Wow...I can't believe you guys aren't just cracking up over this joke. This was actually well timed.

I'm no fan of McCain, however, that was funny. I still wouldn't vote for him, but at least I can laugh at him.

I guess to endorse our current president you sort of have to prefer a leader who attacks other nations rather than appease his own people.

I actually do like McCain, more than any other pubbie canditate at this point, not that I'd vote for him because I am a rabid liberal, but this "joke" is just ill-conceived. I'd much rather have a politician making comments about our own country than making light of bombing an easily provoked state in a region where we supposedly want to "win hearts and minds".

Christ, gbajer, do you think anyone in Iran finds this funny? How many of them do you think are Beach Boys' fans? To many of them I imagine hearing the possible future leader of the Great Satan chanting bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb, bomb Iran is more than a little incendiary, and maybe even kind of scary. Although I'm hesitant to believe that any towel-head really feels fear in the pit of their cold, dark, baby-filled stomach.

Give us a President who actually has this country's best interests in mind, and I'll back him 100%.

Did you agree with this statement of his too?
Quote:

"I went to Iraq to gain a firsthand view of the progress in this difficult war, not to celebrate any victories. No one has been more critical of sunny progress reports that defied realities in Iraq,".

"We held a news conference to discuss what we saw: positive signs, underreported in the United States, that are reason for cautious optimism."


He also said that

Quote:
"General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee."


No, not a 'joke', but a bald faced lie!

And.

Quote:
"There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today."


Also utter bollox. But i guess it sounded pretty good to the Fox armchair warriors.

(This was just after he had 'strolled around Shorja Market in Baghdad, acccompanied by 100 US troops (no Iraqi ones, mind) and 5 attack helicopters.)

Mike Pence Some republican **** licker from Indiana said the market was
Quote:

like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime,


(Those Indianans are hard core. Why, they'll kidnap a couple dozen Methodists at the outdoor market, blindfold them, drill holes in them, expose them to acid, and dump them on Main Street just before dawn to get a rise out of the police patrolmen when they show up for coffee and donuts).

I think the market traders wanted to believe him, why wouldn't they. But 21 of them were unfortunately kidnapped and murdered the very next day.

Some delusional folk might see all this as a joke. But they would be utterly wrong.

If McCain's idea of 'reality, is the same as Gbajis, then I do hope that he gets laughed into a retirement home at the earliest possible moment.
