McCain seems to be an honorable man in many regards, but his comments about Iraq ("100 years more") and Iran ("Bomb, bomb, bomb… bomb bomb Iran") certainly suggest he is a warmonger. We've had two terms of warmongering in the White House. That's two terms too many. McCain also wants to make Bush's tax cuts for the rich permanent. If you want something better than what Bush has given us, McCain is not the answer.

American politics are so silly.

Another denouncement, okay don't people have right to express themselve any more?

Mccain is a war monger everyone knows that. If it was up to him he would have bomb Iran or start war with Iran.
So, what about it if someone call him a war monger.

after all he voted for Iraqi war even though they didn't have WMD.

denounce what?

Great, now Barack has to deal with McCain, Hillary and Bill Clinton. One guy against three and he is still winning. Thats how solid a candidate Barack Obama is.

There is zero point in asking for a ego maniac like Hillary to drop out now, so we will play this out till June 4th. After Barack wins the general election though, everyone should finally achknowledge how much he really did win, with everything against him.

Clinton News Network.

Hey Senator McCain..if the shoe fits, wear it

The are sure digging deep for a negative attack here. Maybe the correct term is fearmonger.

Senator McCain

I reject and denounce what radio- talk show host said.

But you do support war, don't you?

That is why you have lost my vote even though I like you the best.

Not a spokesperson for Obama, eh? Hard to belive if you ever tune into his show. Can't have it both ways Obama!

warmonger - a person who advocates war or warlike policies

Sheesh!! Isn't he the one who will keep us there another 100 years if necessary?

Obama is the same old politics. He just tells us, he is not. Some believe everything he says is so wonderful. The rest of us, know he is full of it.

typical air (scare) america host.

Why people acting like Obama controls what people say? Get mad at the person that actually said it, not at Obama just because that person supports Obama. Geez

How is this for research-
23 million jobs were created, the lowest black and latino unemployment in US history, the biggest surpluses in US history. Land preserved for parks instead of commercial use was the highest since the Teddy Roosvelt administration. The lowest crime and abortion rates since the 1960s. The longest economic expansion since world war II.
A record of black judges being appointed to federal and state courts.
A record of women appointments in the federal government.
The 1990s were a decade of peace and prosperity.
And was our President?
A Clinton

Insane Mccain is Not a warmonger?

who do they think they are kidding?

Get over it. He is not even an official supporter of Obama. Obama should not apologize for any offensive comments made by anyone. Although the word does not sound good, the message is correct: McCain supported a war that has costed us billions of dollars and over 4000 lives.

but john,you are a war monger

McCain thought "Bomb bomb Iran" was funny despite the implication of many thousands of deaths of innocent civlians there…he supported the pre-emptive, illegal and immoral attack on Iraq from the beginning…if that is not war-mongering, what is?

Obama did not hear the remarks and repudiated them after he was told about them.

Mock indignation at it's best!

cnn,clinton lied again about a hospital event,pls report it.and lets call a spade a spade mccain advocates for iraq war so by defination is a war monger period.
dems 08

Let others do the dirty work. Obama just sits back and out of the line of fire. You can't win on the issues and your record or ability, so use the degrade the other candidate mode.

Obama needs to come out of hiding and make his own comments. Worry about beating Clinton before you take on the big boys. obama is out of his league.

McCain all the way. No surrender, No retreat. McCain in 08

What is wrong in telling the truth ??

Once again we have people believing that Obama himself is responsible for the actions of others.

Here we go again!

Obama didnt have anytihing to do with the comment that was made about McCaine. Schultz is not a supporter of Obama. Why is it that he has to continue being responsibel for words that comes out of other people mouth. I guess there is no such thing as freedom of speech.
Enough is Enough!

McCain is a warmonger

Is he not for the Iraqi War?

Flip-Flop?

It seems to me to be a double standard for JOHN McCANN to want an appology from mr. obama for calling what JOHN McmCANN said, and what his plaform is all about is repeating the vary same thing as PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH SAID,DID AND STILL DOING.IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK LOOKS LIKE A DUCK TALKS LIKE A DUCK……in my mind IT'S A DUCK.

How many times are we going to have to hear someone apologize for what someone else is saying. Give me a break. McCain need to stop being so sensitive. "Soft Soap" Now let's see who will apologize for that. LOL!

Nice try, McCain. This is not the same as you standing on the stage with Bill Cunningham. Nice try, Rove and your goonies. Obama wasn't even present when this guy spoke and he is not a part of the campaign.

Get over it. Is this the best you got?

MAYBE MCCAIN SHOULD STOP MONGERING WARS IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE CALLED A WARMONGER!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

This is getting ridiculous. The speaker is not part of Obama's campaign & he was not even invited by Obama's campaign to speak. Why should Obama apologize for Schultz's comments?

Yes, McCain denounced the radio talk-show host who called Obama "Hussein", along with several derogatory remarks, but that talk-jock was well known as inflammatory before he spoke at the campaign event. Why was he even there in the first place?

If someone is officially a part of someone's campaign, then maybe an apology or disciplinary action is called for, but let's not expect apologies for anything any supporter says. That's pretty thin-skinned.

Anytime someone says something about this guy, his campaign crys about it..I thought he was a tough "war" guy. If he can't handle words in a campaign, what will he when the "enemy" calls him worse? This guy is lame. I predict a democratic landslide, he is out of touch with reality..Obama 08

My my, touchy. The Republicans made a big show after 9/11 of being the great patriots, but everything they've done has been BAD FOR THIS COUNTRY, including this war. I used to like McCain and his fiscal responsibility, until he: 1. Wouldn't stand up to Bush's attacks on him 2. Started buying votes by kissing the butts of fruitcake evangelicals, and 3. Supported this decidedly non-fiscally-responsible war. I don't think he's the brainless sociopath that Bush is, but I see four more years of the same direction, which so far has been downhill.

(sociopath: a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.)

Remember when McCain had an "unofficial" supporter call Obama by his middle name? McCain did not hesitate for a second to denounce it immediately, without provocation.

Obama instead had a spokesperson give a backhanded apology, where they say he isn't a "warmonger but supported the war." What kind of statement is that? An old political one. Karl Rove would be proud.

Either that or Obama shows that he is once again a weak, wishy-washy man that doesn't stand up to things he opposes. Jeremiah Wright would be proud.

How is McCain not a warmonger, exactly? I'm surprised he's even offended by the term.

Obama walks the walk….so no need to worry Mr. McCain.

We know, its GW that's the "warmonger," right? wink, wink….

"Warmonger" may be a stretch (but what's a better term?) in describing a man who suggests we remain in Iraq for a hundred years and gruesomely sings idiotic ditties about "bomb, bomb, bombing" Iran.

This is just politics as usual. The problem I see here is the media not the candidates. The three players are trying to run a campaign while the media is using everything they can to "spin" in what ever direction they want to see things to go. That is in the direction of creating the most impactive and emotional reaction they can get from people that are dumb enough to let this back and forth steer them. The media spins facts, colors conclusions, and unfortunately, dismisses a great deal of information about these flawed candidates that would help, what I still feel is a patriotic country, make a hard decision as to who should take over the stewardship in these trying times. Since this takes a slice at the media and points out facts, it probably won't be allowed to become public. But you never know.

HUH!?!?!? Read this carefully..

McCain isn't a warmonger … He is a supporter of the war.

Well, what else should you call someone who has condoned a war of choice for five years now and only sees it continuing as far as one can see? It might be blunt and direct, but I find it hard to take issue with the terminology, given the facts!

Well Mr. McSame, you wanting to keep our troops in Iraq is exactly what that speaker said. You and all republicans ARE Warmongers, so dont try to run away from the truth John.

Obama Richardson 08!!!

Are you kidding me? He is a warmonger and there is no shame in calling him that.

Keep spin Obama, until you fall!

Get over it John. We are a party of tomorrow not yesterday

Obama always comes out smelling like a rose, because he has everyone else do his dirty work.

He is not trustworthy, his campaign advisors are very sneaky in the
way they do things. They probably had had Rev Wright as their mentors and advisors.

Same old politics…Obama is no different then the rest of the canidates. I guess anyone that was supporting the war when it first begun is a warmongerer. If that is the case then I guess you feel I am also a warmonger for serving in a war you disagree with! If this is the case why should you be cammander in cheif over the the military? What makes you deserving enough for it? Have you served your country? Really I would like to know how all these people can vote for a man who is so bitter. You don't stay 20 years in a church you disagree with in teachings. You don't fool some of us with your lies. You are no different then the others that came before you and I will never vote for you. As an independent, it will be Clinton or McCain.

Mc Same sings "bomb-bomb-bomb—-bomb-bomb Iran" and he is upset somebody called him a warmonger?

Isn't that basically what McCain is…he is "selling" this war to us. Aside from that, this wasn't an Obama surrogate and he was not speaking on behalf of the Obama campaign. Why would the McCain camp expect Obama's camp to do anything about it. Ridiculous.

Though Sen. John McCain is not a warmonger, some Republicans and Right-Wingers, particularly those in the Radio are fearmongers using their radio shows to spread fears every chance they get.

What do you expect from a pro-muslim organization? Add the support and endorsements of the like of John Kerry and Jane Fonda and you have a big red flag waving. Hopefully, never over the White House.

The candidates and media alike could do the country a great service by focusing solely on substantive differences on the issues and their proposed resolutions. The public interest cannot be served by misleading voters on what candidates really think or what they would actually do.

Everyone needs to stop trying to put the blame on Senator Obama for things that HE has NOT said!

Obama '08

So what term would be appropriate for a man who sings "Bomb bomb Iran"? How about Psychopath?

All candidates should refrain from bad rapping the war; all of the middle east is victomized by it as well our servicemen. Let's not alienate our differnces more than what they already are. It's obvious that Iraq and Afghanistan are making a grand effort to mobilize and gain control of their independence.

Here comes the Obama "two-step" . . . when are you going to learn this guy is a flash in the pan.

McCain in 2008

Webster's dictionary definition of warmonger- a person who advocates war or warlike policies. As long as he continues to walk in the policies of George W…. that shoe may actually fit.

I am wondering if Senator Obama is going to condemn Air America's Randi Rhodes for the disgusting remarks she made about Hillary Clinton. Those remarks were made at an event for Obama headlined by Rhodes and advertised on his website for supporters to attend. Although he was not present, one would think that since it was an event held for his supporters and promoted by his campaign, he would be the politician he claims to be and quickly distance himself from this woman and apologize for the comments to Senator Clinton.
With reference to this story here about McCain, why hasn't Obama come out personally to denounce such statements made like McCain did last February. Why is a spokesman for the campaign making the apology?

John McCain is a lot of things. As a Democrat, I can say that he is not a warmonger. I have watched him for years and have had a tremendous amount of respect for him. Oh…if Hillary is not the Dem candidate, I will be voting for McCain for President.

"Bomb bomb Iran, bomb bomb Iran!"

McCain IS a warmonger. If he doesn't want the label, singing about bombing other countries isn't the way to go.

Don't denounce his comments. Didn't McCain sing "Bomb Iran"? Isn't he the candidate FOR war? That makes him sound like a warmonger to me…but what do I know? I'm just a voter…

Can't handle the truth much eh Mcsame?

Has Ed Schultz ever been to war, or even served in the military? Only people who have no idea what this entails would ever call someone who was a POW and served in the military a "warmonger". Military members do not WANT war!! They do their job to keep those free who can't be bothered.

Definition, taken from dictionary.com
"Warmonger - a person who advocates war or warlike policies"

Definitely, McCain is not a warmonger he just advocates war and warlike policies.

true statement …… You have to call it like you see it!!

Come on McCain…. be serious. This wasn't an Obama event, nor was he speaking on behalf of Obama.

Criticize the man whose mouth it came from.

How about this? Bush IS a warmonger and a monster…and McCain supports Bush's war policy in Iraq. So what does that make McCain? If McCain would like to explain how he should not be depicted as a 3rd Bush term, I would like to hear his explanation. I am still open-minded for who I will vote for in November.

Obama is a warmonger, he plans on leaving troops in Iraq, what happened to ending this war like he said, I guess with time everyones vision is diminished. obamabots pay no attention to the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is going to leave troops in Iraq and harp on McCains 100 year comment.

Shutup Mcain and leave Obama alone! He didn't even know that guy was speaking. And there were huge differences between that guy who said racist hateful things and Ed's TRUTHFUL COMMENT

Dictionary definition: "Warmonger - someone who is eager for war". Didn't McCain say we could be at war in Iraq for 100 years? Didn't he vote to go to war with Iraq?

Go McCain. Its too bad when the Obama team takes big swipes at Hillary the media won't publish any criticism of Obama. His "new style" politics means he can do and say whatever he wants through his surrogates and then apologize and then follwo up by calling for his new style politics from his opponents who are apparently not allowed to criticize him.

I was at the event in North Dakota and am a frequent listener of Ed Schultz. I see no problem with calling a spade a spade. If McCain doesn't like this characterization, maybe he should do something to change it!

Despite McCain's insistence that he hates war, I haven't yet seen any indication that he's ever met a war he hasn't liked. Look at his record. He has enthusiastically supported any military action that has come along while he has been in office. Bomb bomb bomb Iran indeed

McCain doesn't want to be called a " War Monger"?? That is like OJ saying that he doesn't want people calling him a "murderer"….

Senator McCain is an honorable man, and Senator Obama has said as much. My question is , How many more Amercans and innocent Iraqis (given that probably 100 of them die for every American) will have to die for the sake of Honor, ours or anybody else's? Shouldn't we maybe ask them if they'd rather live instead? Perhaps for some people Honor is something worth dying for as "face" can be for some in the East. It is certainly something to be respected, but even if it is worth dying for, is it worth Killing for? Perhaps people could try learning the art of apology and forgiveness instead. Bush's war has cost a lot more lives than 9-11 ever did.

If Senator McCain thinks that the Obama campaign intends to be of good caricature, sorry, he's mistaken about that. Obama is always just off to the side of such issues, and never takes responsability for them. My advice to McCain is to pay Obama, the same respect diserved. Nail him. There are plenty of truths, about Obama, that should be told. 'The Truth Hurts', the most. I expect, Senator McCain will get around to, the truth about Obama, very soon.

Give me a break McCain! Stop trying to play the "holier than thou" role with Obama. Not only are you a war monger, but you are a senile old man who would like to see all your enemies in hell with Karl Marx! America doesn't want a sellout, and that is all you are.

I love you Barack, but you got to apologize for this, even if you didn't say it.

Correction to the previous commment
If he wants a war let him send his son's and daughters, Bush's daughers and Mitt Romeny's son's to the war and let us see what his view would be after that. Thanks

Obama/Richardson 08 and 12

How ridiculous…That's like saying that Obama shook hands with a convicted felon at a campaign speech and now he should apologize for ever coming into contact with such an undesirable. Should Obama make apologies for every person or statement the GOP happens to disapprove of? Notice McCain ends with: "I hope that in keeping with the spirit of Sen. Obama, that they condemn, that Sen. Obama will condemn such language…" funny how he asks for an apology while putting a label on his opponent with negative connotations. I hope the American people don't fall for such verbal tricks this time around.

Obama and McCain may just be the most civil and respectful general election ever…… Good !!

Let's see, 100 years in iraq, i guess that makes him a tourist not a warmonger.

Yes, but when a speaker at a John McCain event crossed the line Senator McCain made it very clear that he would not tolerate those types of actions.

I guess Senator Obama doesn't have the integraty Senator McCain possess?

Why would Barack denounce it? He didn't say it? Is this the trend now? Whenever anybody says something people don't like Barack has to apologize or denounce it? Stick up for your self McCain and stop crying so much, man you remind me of Hillary!

I think that someone who says we will be in Iraq for 100 years could indeed, be labeled "warmonger." If he doesn't like the term, maybe he should rethink his stand on war. It is going to hurt him this fall.

A 'warmonger' is a lover of war as primary solution to problems or to create problems.

John McCain may tease Americans from one side of his mouth that he does not care for war.
However, when McCain's primary emphasis is to glibly sing about "bombbombbomb bombbomb Iran", and talk about 'a hundred years in Iraq', Americans would be foolhardy to not know that they would be unwisely electing a war President in Iraq, WHICH WILL MAKE AMERICA EVEN MORE UNSAFE!

Why should Obama have to apologize and denounce everybody? Get over it people.

McCain, what's the link between this man and the Obama campaign ? He doesn't even support Obama, why does Obama have to apologize and condemn his statements while he he wasn't even present when the guy talked and he wans't even aware of his statements ?

We all know you're for the war, you supported it and still supports it, so we can say that, it doesn't chock me man, and you said we could be in Iraq for 100 years, so…

warmonger ??? it doesn't chock me McCAIN, be cool man, just chill out hight ?!!

Of course McCain is a warmonger. According to him, invading Iraq was a good decision and staying there indefinitely constitutes victory. He can hardly wait to begin his next war and is already laying the groundwork by making numerous "gaffes" about Al Qaeda being trained in Iran. Obama spoke the truth by calling McCain for what he really is, and as we have seen, nothing makes the Republicans run to the fainting couches faster than hearing the truth.

How about 'enough already' with the denounce and renounce calls? Our dandidates will have enough to do keeping their own every thought and word on track, without having to respond to every other supporter, advocate, pastor, fund-raiser, introducer, etc etc through the campaign. I don't remember this folderoll in previous campaigns. How did we become so hyper-sensitive? Which candidate will have the guts to just say, "I'll speak for myself and no one else in this campaign" and be done with this silliness?

Um, why do we have to be so P.C.? McCain is a warmonger, he wants badly to continue a war the majority of Americans don't want. He is trying very hard to continue this war, therefore he is a warmonger. Simply put, why sugar coat the truth? We are not a society of idiots who cannot see the forest for the trees.

I understand John McCain's request for some statement from Obama regarding what radio host Ed Schultz said in calling John Mccain a warmonger. I really do not think John McCain is a warmonger, oh, but I can think for myself, imagine that, people thinking for themself.

I really don't see why the McCain campaign is getting all bent out of shape, because the anouncer at Obama's rally was right, John McCain is in fact a war monger, who wants to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran, we need change in this country not more of the same

Obama 08-12

This was a Democratic Party event, not an Obama Campaign event; therefore, BO has no responsibility in the matter.

WHY IS MCCAIN RUNNING FOR COMMANDER IN CHIEF ?

Neither Obama, MacCain or Clinton should not be judged by what their supporter say about the other candidates. The media also should not give negativity so much coverage.

WAY TO GO OBAMA. HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE SAY A WEAK COMMENT INSTEAD OF STANDING UP AND SAYING THAT THE GUY WHO MADE THE REMARK IS AN IDIOT.

WILL THIS BE THE LEADERSHIP WE CAN EXPECT FROM YOU AS PRES??

As much as I am opposed to Senator Obama, I see no reason to denounce truthful statements.

I Have yet to meet a veteran who has served on "active Duty"who can be called a Warmonger. That term in more commonly used by those who can clearly be identified as cowards!No Vet likes war!

GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Are we going to start denouncing every little thing that's said. Everyone has an opinion and no matter how insulting it may be, they have a first amendment right to say what they want.

THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!!!

I agree with Ed Schultz.

My dictionary says:

warmonger - a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war.

John McCain does the first two with the misguided war in Iraq and the third with Iran.

What's the issue?

Obama's Tribe. Should have more respect for their Future President.

John "Man of the Moment" McCain..!!!!

Even though it is true that McCain is a warmonger, it shouldn't have been said and I am satisfied with the response from the Obama campaign.

you lose my vote mccain,u started the war that you can not finish

just wait and see how obama is goin to teach you lesson in general election ,you think that you are strong?

Um, John - If the shoe fits…………………………….

Would McCain rather be called a war criminal?

Sorry McCain, but supporting and furthering this illegal and immoral war in Iraq does indeed make you a warmonger. Truth is harsh. Be a man and accept it.

Warmonger: One who advocates or endorses war.

"Bomb bomb Iran." –John McCain

nuff said.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

Mc Cain is a warmonger. He wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, and he thinks bombing Iran is funny; it seems the shoe fits to me.

Perhaps Obama should not have said it like that.. But it is the truth. I really think that Mcain likes war. He wants to keep it going. Lets just get our people home and end the war that never should have been.

McCain is the one who 'sang' : "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran". That sounds warmonging to me.

Give us a break CNN this is not news. Warmonger is not a word that can't be used to describe someone who advocates war policies. It's the truth.

I agree the term war monger is a little strong, but you cannot go on the campaign trail and tell folks, I'm sorry my friends, but there will be more war.. He should be talking about what he is going to do to end this war and talk about what changes he will make on the foreign policy issues to prevent more war..This is what the Republicans and Democrats and Indy's want to hear.

Why is Obama responsible for every idiot that makes a dumb comment. For goodness sake leave the guy alone. He has more
important things to think about …..like winning this election………..
AND HE WILL………..GOBAMA2008

Sorry, John: if you actively promote and justify an illegal, preemptive war — and then argue for that war's extension into connected areas — you are, by definition, a warmonger.

Hopefully Obama will denounce, reject, or whatever it takes to rubber stamp this langauge. Since he wasn't present when it happened, let's give him a fair chance to do that.

Please someone with some common sense and intellect explain to the world WHY Sen. Obama has to apologize for the speakers remarks and WHY is he being condemned for what other people are saying??? Sen. McCain wants an apology because??? He is a self identified WARMONGER…He supports the Iraq war and said he would continue the Iraq war if he is elected.

John McCain IS a militarist. I have no doubt that we will have a draft within 1 year of his election, should that happen, because he will invade Iran. Of course, Hillary is not far behind him. Senator McCain is Bush Lite. His foreign policy will revolve around the continuation of the Bush empire building doctrine that has lost us all credibility in the world.

Obama don't care as long as he gets their vote. His arrogance is really getting annoying.

"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,"

and as it's true that the war should have never been authorized, and McCain is continuing to promote this undesireable thing, that makes McCain a, yes, warmonger.

Barack Hussien Obama has used these same tactics all along, one of his workers made the comment but not him, Bull. Our Millitary, our Veterans put their live on the line for this country, My husband is a vietnam veteran, the remark is offensive, stop playing patty cake with Obama. Expose him for who he really is a Politician that will do anything underhanded to win.

HEY JOHN it is ok for you to promote and use war experience to further your agenda , but when someone calls it what it really is you right wingers want to call foul . You background and behavior will arise many times before the election and you will have many more chances to cry foul, and get a chance to prove them wrong [IF they ARE wrong Have a nice day.

When John McCain denounced the guy at his campaign he was standing backstage.

Barack apparently wasn't even at the event yet. Warmonger no, for a war that has no successful military outcome only a political one dealing with reconciliation or agreement between the groups in the country that would be him.

Barack will get right on denouncing AND rejecting those remarks if that will make John happy.

Why should Obama distance himself from the warmonger remark. McCain is a warmonger. When someone sings "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to the tune of a pop song that person is not a peacenik. McCain is without a doubt a warmonger. If he is elected heaven help this world.

what? I thought McCain was proud of being a warmonger? Aren't most republicans? Isn't that their "platform" or whatever? Continue the disaster in Iraq?

I would not call McCain a warmonger He served our country with pride & honor. If Mr . Schultz would read his Bible he would know there would be wars & rumors of wars.

. . . .Why does Senator Obama have to take the blame for what someone else said. Why don't they ask Shultz about his own comment?
Gee, you have to wonder if McCain is really the tough Republican.
He and bush are both war mongers.

McCain, war heroes should not have to cry to another candidate when someone hurts your feelings or calls you a name. Obama didn't do it, he is not your bodyguard. Either ignore the comment or stand up for yourself. Jeesh, at 72 years old–be a man, not a crybaby.

McCain is a warmonger. He's surprised by being call that?

If this country thinks we can sustain a war with the current economic conditions, then they will turn out like the former USSR. I cannot believe that anyone could forget Vietnam, plus turn around to allow this! If this country doesn't wake up, it's too late! McCain will finish us off! Clinton winning the democratic race will give the race to McCain. LOOK at the dirty Clinton laundry, BEFORE you vote. God bless Obama, he is our only hope!

Why should Obama denounce comments made by someone who isn't apart of his campaign?

He is a warmonger, plain and simple. There is nothing to condemn, it's the truth. Being PC is the last thing we need to do, we cannot afford to put this country in the hands of another Bush like old warmonger. Obama is the only candidate who can save our failing nation.

this is not obamas fault what the man said. he does repu it as he should, i am a obama supporter and i do have respect for john

Better a "warmonger" than a "wimp"

Well, why should he back away from a statement that is absolute fact? After all… what do you call a man who sings "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" with ZERO presented proof that Iran has done anything to merit such drastic action but a warmonger?

McCain is not a warmonger. And water-boarding is not torture.

Perhaps McCain will reconsider signing about invading Iran to the tune of "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" and think twice before going around and saying he is willing to fight the war in Iraq for a 100 years. He set himself up for this.

I guess the truth hurts, doesn't it. McCain is just another Bush.

Perhaps McCain will reconsider singing about invading Iran to the tune of "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" and think twice before going around and saying he is willing to fight the war in Iraq for a 100 years. He set himself up for this.

McCain is not a war-monger. Dick Cheney, on the other hand….

I would LOVE a campaign where the rhetoric is elevated. Maybe that's what this country will have in a McCain vs Obama election.

When's the last time we saw two candidates actually REASON with one another?

On hindsight, Senator Clinton would have done MUCH better for her chances by taking that route. As it is, she's not only losing the nomination, she's arguably decreased the Democratic nominee's chances of winning the general election - whoever that turns out to be.

Not a good start if that's the way her Presidency would be run….

As Bob Marley said, "Who dem cap fit , let dem wear it."

He is a warmonger. Schultz is not an advisor to the Obama camp, therefore does not speak for the campaign. Mr. Schultz is an American with same rights that Limbaugh and Coutler have. Mr Obama, do not denounce Mr. Schultz.

Sometimes I wonder if Clinton and McCain are fighting against Obama or if they are fight against Obama's supporters.

It looks that none of them is able to fight Obama himself.

Maybe because Obama's is such a superior candidate…
I mean: he is not a pathological liar and he is not a fearmonger (yes, McCain is not a warmonger but he is INDEED a fearmonger, just like Clinton is - check her 3 a.m. add…

Good point, I am an Obama supporter, I believe Obama should denounce the slight "warmonger" comment made. Even if it was not his own staff person. It was at his speech.

MCain's not a warmonger because he will not personally benefit from the war, unlike Bush and Cheney who do. But Obama didn't say it, and he hasn't sat through 20 years of sermons listening to that kind of talk like he had with the Rev. Wright's bigoted anti-American rhetoric. Move on. It's a minor detail.

I wonder what real obama would have done if he was in the senate, and recieved the same info, everyone else got. Since being in the Senate , he has voted the same as Clinton!

I think that people are making too much out of something so little. Words are words and it is known by any knowledgeable person that every politician puts spin into his/her comments. McCain's camp should not be one to be pointing fingers.

Just another "media" spin to try to "disadvantage" Obama!! Here I am sitting on a Saturday afternoon, watching CNN Cable TV, and I'm tuned right in to ANOTHER HILLARY SPEECH!! According to my count right now — Obama has received about (5)MINUTES OF COVERAGE this afternoon, and Clinton has received about (45) MINUTES OF COVERAGE - and you say you are not BIASED??
Give me a break!!

Mr. Schultz is right!.

Truth hurt, McCain???

McBush certainly is a warmonger, and he's beating the drum for a war with Iran.
This man is not mentally sound.

The dictionary definition of warmonger– one who advocates or attempts to stir up war.

Well, sounds like the shoes fits!

John-Boy has been nothing if not an advocate of this Iraqi quagmire.

It sounds like Ed Schultz, whoever he is, is a bit of a nitwit.

Does John McCain think that we don't remember his "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" remark. If the shoe fits, use!

Excuse me but wasn't it McCain who sang recently, "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" on a nationally broadcasted televised conference? Yes, would be the true answer to that question. McCain is a warrior.

"Warmonger" is the perfect word for John McCain and his ancestors.

John McCain IS a warmonger…with an apparently fragile psyche.

Just more proof Obama isn't mature enough to take the job!

This man needs some humble pie, go back to chicago!!!

When you support the pre-emptive doctrine, you ARE a warmonger. The only moral way to use the force and might of the US military is in self defense.

Trying to link Obama to Saddam Hussein by repeatedly emphasizing Obama's middle name is in no way comparable to calling McCain a warmonger. The fact is, McCain helped launch an illegal war when there was no immediate threat of harm, and wants to continue that war for the next 100 years. How is "warmonger" not an appropriate term?

I dont think Obama should denounce every thing his fan says.

This is politics, besides will Mcain denounce everything his fans have said about Obama such as the right wing talk show hosts.

he apologized as soon as he heard about it. End of discussion.

I don't know why he is criticizing Obama.

This was not an Obama event, and both Hillary and Obama spoke there. It was a North Dakota Democratic Party event, not organized by Obama and he did not select the speakers the NDDP did.

McCain is tying Obama to it because he knows he will have to face him in the fall.

McCain is a moderate, not a warmonger. The Obama campaign should stop their twisting of his remarks about the "100 year war".

He's no George W. Bush as some would like to make him out to be.

No, I couldn't possibly believe the man who stood in front of an audience and sang "Bomb, bomb Iran" could be a warmonger.

Must have been somobody else that did that.

Oh for pete's sake, he IS a warmonger - McCain backed the war in Iraq, signed every bit of funding on it that Bush pushed through and wants to keep troops in Iraq for at least 10 & up to 100 yrs if necessary - he also advocates war with Iran. Just because he was a POW doesn't mean he's for peace - quite the opposite, he seems fine with war and with providing both his own sons and others for continuing with war. Let the republicans get over themselves - they need to watch the rumours and lies that their own insidious people start before worrying about truthful attacks against one of their own.

Remarkable, and unfortunate for supporters of John McCain, is the
fact he is a warmonger. One would think he was never a
prisoner of war in that infamous war we should also never have
become involved in - Vietnam. He opposed our troop presence
in Haiti, Somalia and practically everwhere else but he thinks we
should be in Iraq. He's a warmonger for Iraqi oil and U.S. corporate
control of it.
If elected his time in office will prove worse and more costly in lives
and money compared to the other warmonger, George Bush.

When compared to the Obama campaign everyone will soon realize,
John McCain is the candidate of hope and unity. He didn't hesitate to denounce and apologize for the comments of Bill Cunningham. You're going to have to give'em hell John.

Bomb, bomb bomb
Bomb, Bomb Iran.

If you back Bush's War, you ARE a warmonger. It is a purposeless war which hurts this country and benefits no one except companies like Blackwater, Boeing,etc.
You can attack my patriotism but how patriotic is it to get over 4,000 young Americans killed with many more terribly injured while you sink us very deeply in debt for NO good reason.

OBAMA TRIES TO ACT LIKE HE IS A NICE GUY!!!!!!!!

HAH!!!!! WHAT A JOKE!

HE NEEDS TO AGREE TO THE VOTES BEING COUNTED IN FL AND MI!!!!

HE IS NOT PATRIOTIC!!!!

IF HILLARY SAID THAT McAIN WAS A WAR MONGER THEN THE PRESS WOULD BE ALL OVER IT!!!!!

HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE THIS OBAMA CHARADE?

HE NEEDS TO GO!!!!!!

MY VOTE GOES TO HILLARY!!!!!!

Get used to it, McCain. This is what Obama and his campaigners are all about - negative personal attacks and self-righteous, self-serving statements.

What does Hillary say? If she plans on running against McCain she should weigh in. She is slowly getting marginalized.

I hope that candidates from both sides will refrain from speaking at events where radio talk show hosts get up and address the crowd.

Just about every radio talk host is a self-serving rodeo clown who is determined to promote his or her radio show by attracting attention to themselves in any way possible, and to promote division in the American political scene because, without polarization, these clowns would have no easy arena to work in. Much easier to have clear, politically-driven heroes and villans, and blame every problem known to man on the other side neat and clean. I am talking about BOTH right and left. Recent comments at events by Bill Cunningham, Randy Rhodes and, of course, the greatest self-promoter since P.T. Barnham–Anne Coulter, and now Ed Shultz, just re-enforces my view that these people are more decedents of Walter Winchell than of Walter Cronkite.

Candidates should steer clear of these superficial parasites.

Ah, I see, another well done attack by Obama.

As long as he doesn't say anything, he can come back and say he didn't believe that.

When will America wake up and see that he plays the politic games more than anybody?

Don't cave to this one, he is a warmonger.

They should have just said, "mccain wants to bomb bomb bomb Iran, and is fine staying in Iraq for 100 or 1,000 years." That's not a warmonger…just someone who doesn't mind being at war. A warnotminder.

When Senator McCain was introduced by an extremist talk show host who insulted Senator Obama several weeks ago at a campaign appearance, the very first thing Senator McCain did was to apologize. That showed strength of character. He apologized on the spot. Senator Obama did not show the same strength of character. An Obama campaign spokesperson is now stating after the event that Shulz does not speak for the Obama campaign. That is pretty weak.
I think Senator Obama should have spoken up right away - just as Senator McCain did for him.

Don't get upset when people call you what you are, McCain.

Why should Obama denounce other people's comments all the time? What will that do for your "image?" Besides, doesn't First Amendment apply when people voice their views about McCain?

I voted for McCain in the Primary, but when he started back peddling just to sew up the nomination, and now that he has the nomination, abd Bush's endorsement, he is once again taking the liberal view on several issues such as torture.

A president should first and foremost have backbone. Bush has been, and still is, wrong on many issues, but at least he has backbone, and uncanny stick-to-itness rarely seen in other presidents. McCain listens to the last person he talks to.

Your Tax Rebate:

The federal government is sending each and everyone of us a $600 rebate…
some more & some less. However, if we spend that money at Wal-Mart,
the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan…and none of it will help the American e conomy.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes, weed, beer, and tattoos since these are the only products still produced in the USA. Thank you for your help & please support the USA.

Silver tongue, no substance, racist, unpatriotic Obama delights in the idiots calling McCain a warmonger. He is a closet Muslim, and is trying to make us think he does not support the war, but you can bet your socks he does. McCain is 100 times the man Obama will ever be. Why didnt Obama serve in the military?

Mr. McCain will lose the general election, he has become overconfident to the poing that he is invisible. The bias media has ingrave Mr. Obamas in peoples mind already. Sorry Mr. McCain I think you are reacting way to slow.

Barack Obama does not need to say anything about this. He didn't say it, someone else who is not even a part of his campaign did. Anyway, everyone already knows that McCain IS a warmonger - he tells us that himself every day with every speech he makes.

According to Merriam- Webster: one who urges or attempts to stir up war. Considering McCain has certainly helped begin this war, and now he is trying to keep it going for "100 years."
I'd call him a warmonger too.

McCain is pulling straws again. When will he and Clinton focus on themselves instead of throwing darts at Obama.

Once again, we have to correct Sen. McCain. This is NOT the equivalent to the fool who introduced you at YOUR RALLY. This was someone who was asked to speak at the state's Democratic Party event. Sen. Clinton was there too. Should she apologize as well? What a jerk. Can't figure out whether this was a senior moment or a stupid one.

Sen. McCain has just lied on tv, saying that Sen. Obama called him a "warmonger". I can not believe how many comments which are made by other people, but are continually forced into the mouth of Sen. Obama. It is almost as if Sen. Obama has to be accountable for the words of his friends, while Sen. Clinton doesn't have accountability for the words she says.

I guess John McCain will find out how fast his buddies Hillary and Barack keep to the higher standard. McCain might be willing to throw people under the bus that support him but he will find Hillary and Barack will only throw him under the bus while making a joke about his age.

Clinton: Define Official. As in unauthorized or we just haven't brought him onboard yet. Underlings doing the work while he pretends to be above the fray.

Have the guts to make your own statements and focus on the Primary.
You haven't got it locked up yet.

This is typical of the Obama supporters. Any lie will do. I guess they learned it from the Clinton's.

Obama, this is the man that said he will be the unifier and not run a nasty campaign. What was that Mr. Obama? He accuses Mrs. Clinton for throwing the kitchen sink at him, while he has thrown the entire kitchen at her. And what a weakling to act as a cry baby. I guess he is too used to being treated as a star. NOT.
Anyway back to McCain the first Republican Presidential Canadidate that I will vote for in my lifetime. A BO vote='s a vote for McCain. Listen Hillary supports: McCain will only be a one term president who is not a Bush Conservative Republican. I rather a vote for Rebublican experience than a vote for Obama

I have been watching CNN today….(beach closed rip tides)

John McCain was asked by a reporter during this press conference, "The General is going to ask you next week to send more troops to Afganistan, isn't that going to be a further strain on our military?" " How are we going to handle that?"

His answer was VERY ambiguous. PLEASE, CNN ask him if he plans on activating the draft. I have one son draft age, and one that will be in May. You don't have to post this,,,,,,just please ask him for me? I am really scared.

I think the campagne should continue and allow the voters to decide who they would like their nonimee to be, in order to mantain legitimacy to the process but when it ( the campagne) has ran it's course, the people should not be denied the nomination of the candidate of their choice.

Sen.Mc Cain sorry
We know what you did in Ohio
But You can’t expect the same from Chicago politician and who grow with Rev. Jeremiah Wright
Hillary 08

Since when is speaking the truth so wrong?

THE TRUTH IS—JOHN McCAIN IS A WARMONGER. SINCE McCAIN DOES LIKE THAT COMMENT, WE WILL IT AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.——I REPEAT–McCAIN IS A WARMONGER.

Give me a fracken break! Let me get this strait John Mcsame who's Grandfather was a Admiral and sent many soldiers to heaven or hell take your pick and who's father was also an Admiral did the same,who faught in veitnam and said he will always hate gooks until the day he dies, who voted for the Iraq war and for the surge and is now pushing for a war with Iran expects people to actually believe he is not a WARMONGER give me a fracken break

John McCain is a warmonger…. how is a denounciation needed?

McCain, in my opinion is a warmonger. Must be the saying that "the truth hurts" is for real.

How can anyone believe that McCain is a warmonger? That he believes that the US is entitled to strike at a country that has yet to be proven to be a menace to the US is OK. That does not make him a warmonger—a jingoist maybe, but certainly not a warmonger.

Sen. McCain- hears someone criticize Obama in a backhanded way by bringing up his birth name…condemns the guy personally to the ire of some of his supporters that very campaign stop.

Sen Obama- hears someone totally misrepresent McCain, and insult him and sends a peon to say, that's a bad supporter, a day later after being called on it. He had to be called on it by the other guy before he would respond. McCain heard it happened and wouldn't even let the press conference start before condeming it. How's that for sticking to your guns Obama?

Obama needs to to learn that if he says he wants to run a clean campaign, or be President, it takes the leadership and integrity to do what McCain did. It takes the leadership and integrity to walk away from a church when you disagree with the pastor(don't give me the BS about not hearing him talk like that before 20 years you heard a bunch of stuff, if that's the stuff we have on tape I'm sure theres much worse). And it takes the leadership and integrity to hold up to an agreement you asked for on using federal funding, and not abandon it when it becomes convenient. I wonder which candidate is the one for change. The one who's a politician who keeps his word, is frank and candid, and is willing to back up his words with action. Or is it the one who can't seem to remember agreements he makes with other politicians, or won't stand up for a clean campaign when it isn't convenient for him. If you want to know why I won't vote for Obama, it's because he talks a great fight, but he doesn't live up to his end of the bargain. Who doesn't respond personally and immediately to those comments, especially when its targeted against a guy who has shown you nothing but respect. If Obama wants a campaign of insults fine, he's a coward who cant stand up for his convictions when he's presented with a challenge. I don't want him answering the little red phone at 3pm with a cabinet to consult let alone 3am.

"Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran" can't be viewed as warmongering?

And what does "We'll stay in Iraq for 100 years" say about the attitude of a candidate?

Warmongerer might be too nice a label to put on McCain.

Is there a clear distinction between being a "warmonger" and singing "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."

Obama is quick to demand people to apoligise for anything they might say about his color! His Color is a fact he cannot hide! Calling McCain a war Monger is outragous! He is a war Hero! Something Obama will never be! He should make it right with McCain! I'm not for this war and never have been, but we have to get our men out save! McCain is not the man to do it, Nor is Obama!

VIP Kathy says, we have heard enough about religeon, race and warmongering in this political campaign this year. How about getting back to the real issues. Qualifications, Experience, Character, and the main issues, such as, how we are going to get our economy back on track and get our troups home from a failed war.

Let's stop all the bickering, backstabbing and hate speaking. We need to think clearly about the issues we face as a democratic society.

Who's got the real answers we want?????

God bless your decision.

McCain, Obama or Clinton

If Senator McCain is not a "warmonger", how does he explain his willingness to keep the US military in Iraq for another 100 years.

Oh, that's right; at US military gunpoint; the Kurds, Shi'ites, and Sunni people are going to put centuries of hate behind them and form a USA style democracy.

So, while Senator McCain is a polite and likable man, he is either a wormonger or he is delusional. Warmonger or delusional? Not a good discription for President and Commander-in-Chief.

thats nonsense, have you used "lagood.com" ?

Should we now ask John McCain to denounce anything that any Republican, or Fox News, or Rush Limbaugh etc says about Obama? Schultz is not a part of the Obama campaign. He is a talk show host. Rush Limbaugh is a talk show host. But if Obama is responsible for some talk show hosts, according to the McCain camp, then McCain is responsible for Limbaugh. McCain will have a lot of denoucing to do.
