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. Â 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.â€
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. Â He is a warmonger.
John McCain: WAR HERO is more like it. This guy deserves our respect. Just read his record

He is our best bet for president and has my vote.

Oooohhh. Excellent analysis.
John McCain: WAR HERO is more like it.
War hero and warmonger are not mutually exclusive. His military service, while commendable, does not give him absolute moral authority on all things war-related.
Oooohhh. Excellent analysis.
I didn’t think it needed further explanation, but here’s a go:
His little ditty about bombing Iran was in response to someone asking (in all seriousness) “when do we send ‘em an airmail message to Tehran?” (at which point there was applause in the room). McCain then responded with his song. He later tried to spin it as a joke, but it matches his policy of “rogue state rollback” in which he “would arm, train, equip, both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow the governments and install free and democratically elected governments.” That is a policy of using war to accomplish political change in foreign nations. He’s advocating war. Really, I don’t know how it could be any clearer than when he said “There’s gonna be other wars [sic].” That’s not leaving war on the table… that’s declaring it to be a certitude.
I am not sure warmonger, but he does have an increased tolerance.
“One who advocates or attempts to stir up war.” Sounds like the Dems are the warmongers. If I have to hear they are going to ‘fight’ one more time, I’m gonna’ spit up!
How about Obama’s minister, or his wife - or himself. My 12-yr. old called him a racist when I was just listening to ‘Dreams of My Father” on cd, without me even commenting.
Obama is bitter and immature (not to mention inexperienced). Anyone who wants to punch someone for empathizing with him is definately not right.
Obama’s the warmonger - and it’s a race war he’s stirring up.
