John McCain: Warmonger?
Left-wing radio host Ed Schultz called Republican presidential candidate John McCain a “warmonger” at the North Dakota Democratic Convention during an introduction of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. There has been limited backlash on the right over this accusation.
This is no small insult, either. Warmonger? That’s a nasty charge, and certainly far beneath the squeaky-clean campaign Obama claims to be running.
Obama quickly distanced himself from Schultz’s remarks.
“John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such,” Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday. She added, “He’s a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged.”
Did anyone bother to look the word up in a dictionary?
One who advocates or attempts to stir up war.
The shoe fits. The man actually sang ”Bomb Iran. Bomb, bomb, bomb…” (to the tune of the Beach Boys’ Barbara Ann). Or how about “There’s gonna be other wars [sic]. I’m sorry to tell you… there’s gonna be other wars [sic].” In 2000 he called for the military overthrow of Iraq, Lybia, and North Korea if they continued to develop WMDs. He talked about attacking Iran after 9/11.
John McCain advocates and attempts to stir up war. He is a warmonger.
