Warmonger
Is John McCain a warmonger?
via dictionary.com
warmonger: a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war; one who advocates or attempts to stir up war.
Let's see, he advocated for the war in Iraq. He endorses George Bush's policies there, and he tried to stir up and "precipitate" war in Iran by famously suggesting in song that we "Bomb Iran".
So John McCain is, by definition, a warmonger. So his cries for "condemnation" are wrong, because to condemn the truth is to embrace a lie.

I see you left out Obama caved to McCain's demand to repudiate. He did immediately.
Weak huh?
Well at least you posted it, this blog did not.
I wonder why?
Mmmmmm.

I think McCain is a warmonger, but such language is divisive.
Remember, gotalife, we have to win over the middle.
From CNN:
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday McCain should not have been described that way.
"John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such. He's a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged," she said.
Obama's campaign also notes Schultz is not an official supporter of the campaign and was asked to speak by the North Dakota Democratic Party, not the Obama campaign.

Reminds me of that old Beach Boys tune...
Bomb, bomb, bomb
Bomb bomb Iran! Haw, haw, haw!
Yup. McCon's a warmonger, alright, and crazy as a shithouse rat.
