I hope Obama will be the one, who should be out of the contest soon.
This person is empty suit, talker with nonsense.
Poor experience, lazy (he need somone to keep his work in order),
corrupted (Rezko link)-not good for President of the USA
We need HILLARY TO LEAD THE COUNTRY , to clean up after Bushe's yrs of damages.
Hillary is a strong candidate, women, who will CHANGE our life, economy, health care, education and USA image in the World.
VOTE FOR HILLARY !!!!!!!!

McCain we cannot afford to stay in Iraq! Not only is it costing us thousands of lives, we are broke! It's a civil war, let the UN do their job and make a humanitarian effort of it! The vacuum we have created there will not be filled by our presence. You are a warmonger! Just like George Bush!

Obama 08

Obama is not what he appears to be. I urge you to think twice before voting for that man.

That's how far America has fallen, when you can't even call a warmonger
a warmonger, after McCain did a little Eagle's Nest jig, croaking, "Bomb,
bomb, bomb, Iran", and he warn't just a whistlin' Dixie, he wants a War of
a 1000 Years, and has specifically said so, many times, because war is
the only way the Neo-Con's can extract war profits from the US taxpayer.
Declare tax cuts, grow government deficits faster than even WW2, grift,
rinse and repeat. And they call this the "last, best hope for humanity"??!!

McCain? A warmonger? It's a fair cop.

He was an advocate for an unnecessary, factually unjustified, & illegal war. He continues to advocate the war and has gone so far as to suggest 100 years of occupation as being needful.

Warmonger is hardly the worst he could be legitimately styled.

What does McCain expect? Look at all the crap the Clintons have endured.

Mccain is a war monger. He is another bush.. This country is in for a serious hardship if this idiot is elected.

When is the warmonger gonna apologize for all the things that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are saying about Obama. The warmonger needs to reject and denounce Rush encouraging the Republican crossover voting. I have not heard him apologize for that yet !!!

The only war Barack Obama is interested in is a race war...but he's to chicken to be on those front lines as well. He's strickly a back door, sneaky, stab you in the back kinda guy. He;s got plenty of fight in him, just not the kind he's going to let the public see. I wish the people supporting him would see that. You don't sit in a pew and listen to hate speeches for 20 years and then tell people you don't believe in them. Come on..wake up people.

I feel badly for John, it would take some effort to see him in the White House. If he made it there, people do you realize he would be the second president shot down as a combat pilot, and a president that couldn't beat a national guard pilot that is the current president.
If I were to fly in a plane piloted by any of those three repubilcans, two Bushes, one McCain, I would either die in a crash or make it out in a parachute. With that I would vote for someone that will not crash the country, or shot down the country by being a bad pilot.

Also Saturday, Clinton campaign officials acknowledged that an anecdote Clinton has made a staple of her stump speech in recent weeks may not have been true and wasn't thoroughly checked for accuracy before she began repeating it on the campaign trail.

Since competing in Ohio's March 4 primary, Clinton has shared the story of an Ohio woman who worked in a pizza parlor and died after giving birth to a stillborn child. The woman was uninsured, Clinton said, and twice denied medical care at a local hospital because she couldn't pay a $100 fee.

Clinton said she learned of the story from a deputy sheriff whose home she visited while campaigning in Ohio. She told the story as recently as late Friday, at a rally in Grand Forks, N.D.

Officials with O'Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio, have disputed the story, saying the woman, Trina Bachtel, was insured and did receive care through an obstetric practice affiliated with the hospital, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The problem with Hillary:

She is the last person who can identify with the "working man", since she has spent most of her career courting corporate donors. Now that she is on the ropes, she'll do anything. If the people of PA think Hillary is going to help America, they should think again. Hillary, as usual will help herself and "pretend" she's helping America.

That's okay, because Hillary is just the person that they deserve as their president.

Th headline is misleading. It should read: McCain demands retraction of the truth.

"War monger" is strong language, but there is no doubt that Sen. McCain is more pro-war when it comes to the Iraq war. Continuing on in Iraq at anything near current levels, may or may not make our country more safe, however, there is no doubt that it will bankrupt our country if this continues for 2, 10 or 20 more years. History shows that wars and debt is what collapeses all super powers and at $10 Billion per week for a country in or near recession and $8 Trillion in debt...someone has to alert the country to Sen. McCain's desire to continue Bush's failed foreign policy.

John McCain's compaign has focus primarily on war and fighting. What would you call that?

McCain ...not a warmonger?

He just wants to bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Iran.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw....... Did it hurt your feeling McBush?

Of course Obama doesn't believe John McCain is a "warmonger". Sen. McCain supported the war and the surge, but his motives are pure and he is a true American hero and patriot who only wants us to finish honorable what unfortunately was started by the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Bush machine. Many were mislead into believing in this war.

On another note, Barack finished the week out nicely.

1) Hillary "misheard" the Richardson question.
2) Mark Penn – what a disgrace and another example of the senator's poor judgment.
3) The hospital story about the "uninsured"mother. Tall tale Hillary at her best.

Phil T.

The shoes fits – ol' Superfries McCain wants the United States in Iraq for 100 more years. And while that will get a lot of Iraqis killed, I think the downside is that we will create a socialist welfare state that isnt even properly Christian.

Anything to get in the news, huh John.

Obama 08

dictionary.com's definition is "a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war." John McCain is a warmonger. Nobody should apologize. Instead, they should criticize McCain even more.

Nope. Pretty sure your still a warmongerer.
Yeah, thats exactly what you are.

Since the comment did not come from Obama himself, I see no reason that McCain would be criticizing Obama for it. Just another pathetic attempt to get the general public to vote for him and an extension of the war in Iraq. Whoever said war is hell just about summed it up, so why should we be put through 4 or even 8 more years of the war?

Obama '0

Guess I'll have to look this one up. I thought a war-monger was one who supports war. And last time I checked, the Republican Party is the War Party. Eisenhower, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II are examples.

McCain is a warmonger. He's insane with having been held as a POW and called Asians 'gooks' until the year 2000, when an Asian-American group pressured him to stop. He supported George Bush in every military effort to date, condones torture and disdains international law.

John, you're a warmonger. Time to face reality, Hitler.

Yes, we all know John McCain and his attentions. He is warmonger and he will attack Iran and North Korea if he becomes president. America is eight years behind because of G Bush and McCain is the same like Bush

Let's see... McCain has publicly stated his determination to keep U.S. forces in Iraq for a century, despite the fact that they have no achievable objective–or any kind of discernible, consistent, objective, for that matter–and that no matter which side of Iraq's civil war "wins," the U.S. loses. Waging a pointless war for no better reason than to avoid the appearance of losing it–which we've basically already done–sounds like warmongering to me.

McCain is thinking with his balls, not his brain, a process not known with coming up with sensible conclusions.

(I'm not, by the way, a peace-at-any-price kind of guy. There are circumstances when a country has to fight if it is to survive, but Iraq is a long, long, way from being that kind of circumstance.)

Hey Obama...when did you serve in the3 millitary????

"But that kind of language is unnecessary for this campaign. I think its very clear how I feel about war and my experiences with it."

Yes, Mr. McCain, hence the name "Warmonger" given to you. A state of denial is your ostrich stance.

McCain is just plain lame...get a life!!!!

Exactly as the last sentence read, so what is Mccain trying to explain, If someone is in support of a war, why cant he be referred to as a warmonger, As our senators losing it in English?

He is a warmonger! He should be called Lucas McCain-
(the rifle man)

old man chill out and retire now before you force out in november obama 08

So They have to denounce radio talk show host now??? This is getting pretty rediculous

I don't understand why McCain, Bush, Cheney Clinton and others are still not on trial for invading a soverign country Iraq and responsible for the deaths fo thousands of innocents, McCain is not only a warmonger he should have been in the prison by now, he's a war criminal and it's indisputable, you killed innocent people and you should be punished no person is above law.

The man who sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb; Bomb Iran" is objecting to being called a warmonger? Go figure!?!

It's not inappropriate to label McCain a warmonger if it is true. McCain has, after all, come out in favor of war with Iran. He's selling war as part of his campaign. That, to me, is a warmonger.

Obama ought to apologize, they have made Hillary do it for less than this...What is good for the goose, is good for the gander...LOL!!

This from the guy who sang "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"?

Whether or not John McCain is a warmonger is beside the point. A vote for him is vote for continuation of the policy that will make war with Iran inevitable; a war that this country cannot afford morally or financially.

I'm glad Obama did disagree. We don't need name calling, etc.

I realize that McCain can't control the neocons, but if McCain does win the presidency, I'm glad he'll throw the neocons under the bus and support fair trade, universal health care, and abortion rights. In addition I'm sure he'll get us out of Iraq very quickly. He is not a conservative, he is a fiscal conservative, social liberal.

I will vote for Obama. But I used to like McCain, until he started pretending to be a conservative just to get the republican nomination, and fawned to the right.

I thought all the Obama supporters were uniters? It seems like calling Senator McCain, a POW for 5 1/2 years in Vietnam, a warmonger is idiotic and insulting. What branch of the military did Obama serve? Oh, that's right. And how long has he served in the Senate, excluding the two years he has been campaigning for president? One year? Great. And you expect this man to lead the country?

If McCain after being a prisoner of war can embrace any violent conflict,,let alone one which confers benefits on non-americans and profiteers at the expense of American lives can deny warmongering,,I'd expect no more from a politician.

Obama is above everyone else. He is the new Savior.

Well, his 100 years in Iraq statement hardly qualifies him as a peace monger does it?

Barack Obama has a good heart I am sure he would have condemn them words if he was present at the time that it was said. His campaign denounce him so McCain should not have nothing to worry about.

The truth is John McCain is a warmonger and there is no way to get around it.

So let me get this straight, anything that is said that someone doesn't like, you should blame Obama?

I mean honestly, he should denounce everything said at any time where he was in the area, please.

okay I was thinking of cheney sorry:(

That's all Obama is a talker. Talk, talk, talk, that's all he does. What a fraud!

McCain may not be a warmonger but just because he was a prisoner of war does not make him an expert on foreign affairs. Remember back in the sixties when the people of the United States were brainwashed into believing that if communism wasn't stopped in southeast Asia it would follow us home? Well, that wasn't the truth and neither is it that Islamic jihad will come. The twin towers attack was radical Islam's demand that the United States get out of the middle east and stop interfering with that part of the world. McCain and many others want to continue the war in Iraq that the IDIOT got us into. Just get out!! And McCain – open up that tiny brain of yours and see what is going on. Quit following blindly the IDIOT.

yawn...

whats to apologize for? he obama already put out a statement condemning the statements, mccain is indeed a war monger!!! why???? because everytime he opens his mouth to sabre rattle on iran, the price of oil goes up, making bush and his republican oil buddies richer!!

Anyone who advocates 100 more years in Iraq, while 'bomb, bomb, bombing' Iran is indeed a warmonger.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday [4/5/2008] 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.

Well…

==> If Obama can be a ‘HOPEMONGER’

Then

==> Why can’t McCain be a
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years — McCAIN: Make it a hundred. We’ve been in South Korea … we’ve been in Japan for 60 years. We’ve been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans … MONGER”

How about that McCAIN FOR A QUOTE, can’t challenge that

***

Seriously...this is ridiculous!..Why don't all of the people at the event apologize to McCain then???....Whatever grandpa!

If I hear anything more about someone being called a name and another candidate having to apologize for it, I'm going to put my fist through the TV set. Enough already.

Schultz is not an Obama campaign surrogate. He's not Senator Obama himself. He is an Obama SUPPORTER, like myself. What if I make a derogatory comment about Sen. McCain or Sen. Clinton? Does Obama have to apologize for me, too? Obviously, I'm taking it to the next level – but where will this stop?

When will we become a serious country again, one better equipped to deal with REAL American problems and less so to engage in this fifth-grade nonsense? CNN, you can do better. This is not news.

Respectfully Mr. Mccain must realize that he has been the Vice President of this great country for the past 8 years. In that time we the people have seen our rights diminish under a rule that bases its law under fear. What should we think? I respect the right of our elected government to make decisions. What should we think though that through my experience in these past 8 years that our rights as americans which our soldiers through history fought bravely for in the face of Death have been taken away. Some died. I would like to know some things that he has not addressed or I have not heard. I respectfully think that he will win the elections. I am from Alaska where we get very few electoral votes. The leading candidates do not visit the states where the electoral votes have little effect understandably. Why should they when when these states mean so little? The majority votes mean nothing and I feel this has been orchestrated by entities that wish to control the election. I applaud them. They are very wise because this works. If we as the people of the United States of America, The land of the free and the home of the brave are to ignorant to address the issue of fair elections, than anyone whom the richest of our lands chooses to elect should be elected. I am impressed extensively at the creativeness of people in high places to take advantage of ignorance. You are wise people. It is sad that all people do not think into the workings of election as others do. I say let the best man win. I am disgusted by the ignorance of many in this country. Cheney will probably win. Congratulations and I respect the think tanks that be. I hope that Mr. Cheney will rule in dignity and wisdom. God Bless the USA. Sincerely Jason V.W. Jackinsky Pursue Peace my Friends

oh god...why are the candidates so sensitive...every time someone says something, they whine and whine...McCain IS a warmonger...why does he get mad when the truth is spoken...deal with it you old fart!!!

Time to reel in some of these comments! The Obama now are trying to come up with excuses as to why these types of comments are not their fault. I am also tired of the Obama campaign accusing Hillary Clinton of not telling the truth. Granted she has made some big mistakes but lets look at Obama's mistakes (I said mistakes to avoid saying lies). He has continually said that he has NEVER taken lobbyist money or oil money. He also states that he has never come out against ALL HANDGUNS. However, ABC news has shown proof that big oil executives have donated the maximum amount allowable by law to the Obama campaign. On the gun issue Obama said he never came out again handfuns and that nothing has ever come across his desk to that effect (i.e. he has never seen papers to that effect). But ABC-TV NEWS has documents showing that Obama came out against all handguns and has signed documents to that effect. I'm sure the Republicans are going to have a field day in November showing misstatements and outright lies that have come from the Obama campaign.

campaign for real truth

Now McCain is whining about being called something? Holy God! I was getting used to the whining from Hillary, but I thought McCain was tougher than that.

I hate to tell them both that I've heard them both being called a lot worse than a "monster"and a "warmonger".

Those words are mild compared to what I've heard otherwise.

*gasp* Another excuse for Barack Obama and his campaign. Wow, he's got a way out of everything except the war in Iraq and fixing our economy/healthcare.

My comment is in regards to the statement by Mr. Bounds. I don't know what you mean when you say walking the walk and talking the talk but if I remember correctly Mr. Obama said that he appreciated Mr. McCain's remarks and that the election process can be intensely competitive. He also said that all the candidates including himself would attempt to keep it respectful and focused on the issues. How many times should Mr. Obama publicly come out and say the same thing over and over again? Do you like hearing yourself all the time? Let's stick to the issues that are plagueing this country and the rest of the world and not some name-calling antics that you'd find on a playground full of five year olds. One more thing. Let's not forget while McCain was on stage he said nothing after Mr. Cunningham made his comments. It was only after the fact. And you want to talk about quickness?

shows how presidential obama really is,McCain will win, kerry is not doing obama any favors,it was wrong,and not proffesional in any way he should apologize.McCain is sharp and does talk the talk but also walks the walk,we will vote for him if hillary is not running.we need someone that is proven and tested,and really knows the issues.

Why does CNN never approve my comments?

I'll try again.

I am a Hillary supporter. But I must be fair in my comments on this. Obama cannot be held responsible for what someone not part of his campaign says.

Obama was not even there.

I disagree with the opinion of the speaker in regards to McCain being a Warmonger though. But it can't be used as part of an attack coming from McCain no more than Obama can attack McCain for saying he would be okay with having troops in Iraq for 100 years without keeping it in context with what was fully said (Korea, Japan, Germany, etc).

But don't worry McCain.

If Hillary is not the nominee you have my vote and millions like me who will not vote for someone who didn't earn the nomination of the Democratic party Obama has had the media and the radicals in the Democratic party handing the nomination over to him.

It is unethical for the media to be bias, and the likes of John Kerry and Bill RIchardson being opportunists is a slap in every Democrats face.

Yah! With what is going on right now, If BHO win the nomination, this will be the begining of the end. HILLARY OR MC Cain for 08 or my whole family will leave the country!!!

Hey you know the old saying The truth hurts well here's another for McSame if the shoe fits wear it !!!! if he's hurt by the name do something about it and listen to what is it now 72 % of americans who thinks this war is not worth it and a bad idea.

Actually it is good to see who supports Obama and which super delegates suports Obama. It gives us clear picture of what Obama campaign represents.

I've have seen many of the party leaders who supports Obama used very offensive words most of us hasitant to use to discribe both Hillary and McCain.

Go, Hillary. Stay on facts and figures.

If we count Michigan and Florida votes, here are the stats.
Hillary is winning in popular votes.
Hillary is winning in pledged delegates by winners take all.
Hillary is winning in super delegates.
Hillary is winning in most primaries.
Obama is winning in pledged delegates.
Obama is winning in most caucuses.

Here we go again, with another round of denoucing, distancing, repudiating and rejecting.

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS PEOPLE: When some Yahoo gets on the stage an HOUR before a Candidate speaks, HIS WORDS ARE NOT THAT OF THE CANDIDATE!

SHEESH!

You can't keep bootstrapping other people's comments onto Obama.

You know, I heard the guy who mows his lawn has racists views. Must be Obama is a racist too! After all he hired the guy to mow his lawn, right? Has Obama repudiated his comments yet? See, he's a racist, too!

Let's get beyond this silly nonsense. Window dressing intended to distract voters from the real issues.

Like MONEY. BIG MONEY and LOTS OF IT from BIG CORPORATIONS and FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS!

It's not like the guy gave Obama $1,000,000 to lobby for a free trade agreement or something! Or paid his spouse $50 million dollars in speech fees.

Like somebody we know....

McCain is a warmonger. Why apologize for saying the truth? He's going to send you to die for big oil, have a nice day, Republicans!

McCaim should not be looking for any conceivable opportunity to criticize Obama for what just anybody in the democratic camp does.

Is McCain a warmonger? Yes he is. He wants U.S. troops to be in Iraq for 100 years and he's a strong advocate of the surge.
Let's call a spade a spade.

Is McCain going to bring up his service record every time he's questioned on Iraq? It's only April and I'm already sick of hearing about it.

McLame says he wasn't aware of MLK's legacy....umm, was this guy tied up all through the sixties? He's caught on video singing: Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran (to the tune of Barbara Ann – Beach Boys). Gosh, those old white Republicans sure is funny...the Hanoi Hilton wants their towels and ashtrays back.

We as a PATRIOTIC people of USA want a discussions on your show and these never ending vidoes on Trade with Colombia as Clintons top manager was involved with. We havent see such a corruption in years. You should cover NEWS properly or please at least don't call yourself as independent.

Nothing more to say.

Give me a break! McCain and the Republicans are boring us to death with this strategy – combing every speech by Obama and his supporters; creating out-of-context soundbites; and hysterically insisting that Obama "reject and denounce".

Obama will win the Democratic primary and the general election because he's the only candidate with substance and authenticity. Too bad some folks can't deal with it.

So calling a warmonger, a warmonger, is wrong. Next we will not be able to call the sky blue.

McCain advocates 100 years of war and he want's Obama to apologize? Hello, even I, as a life long Republican think that McCain is a loose cannon. I don't trust McCain.

I checked. A warmonger is a sovereign or political leader (McCain) who encourages or advocates aggression or warfare (i.e., pre-emptive strike, now we're there we must see it through, however you wish to put it) toward other nations or groups (Irag), so yes, John McCain does equal warmonger. I think a little less of Obama's campaign for mincing words like this. Words mean what they mean. If McCain doesn't like what he is, he should change his stance.

The Iraq War was totally unnecessary. If you're of the same opinion, then your vote in November is easy. Senator McCain supported it. Senator Obama did not. For me, you don't ask the man who helped create the mess to clean it up.

Well if that's the case McCain, you should start making a list of people you need to denounce who have said some horrible things about Obama's. Start with Karl Rove and Sean Hannity. Go ahead and sit down... rest your bones. It's going to be a long night.

This is getting ridiculous.

No! McCain singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to the tune of the 'Beach Boys' " Barbara Anne" is definitly not warmongering (the video is on You Tube). I shall have no such accusations that it is (heavy sarcasm).

A man that was tourured for six years....mmhmm. I am sure he is all about war. What have you risked Obama?

Sorry – McCain's words and votes speak for themselves. The Iraqis want us out, want Blackwater out and McCain talks about needing to linger 100 years. If you liked Bush, you'll love McCain.

Rule of thumb: Each candidate is responsible for any and every member of his/her party that says something crude, reprehensible inappropriate etc. whether or not done in their presence or with their knowledge. Same thing should be true of any church – any member of that church that does something unseemingly should be the responsibility of the church. Makes sense (if you're IQ is about that of a brick.)

What if he is one? How could you be interested in a country that has nothing to do with your country's affairs? When you have 1 in 9 African American men in your prison. 25% of highschool students in Detriot graduate. The housing industry is at a stand still. Wall street is at a low. People have neglected their morals because of they to busy making ends meet.
9/11 brought America together and the RNC put forward gw bush (lower case used deliberately) to divide America and the World. If there was ever a political flip flooper its John McCain. This is your war Mr. McCain and you are no doubt a warmonger. The money you lied to allocate for this war from the tax payers like myself could have been spent on other things. That is just the fact of the matter. After the war how to intend to govern...... with the present Constitution......... that you helped defiled. You a dumb on the economy and world affairs. Get with the times old boy.

Ed Shultz is the man, does the truth sting McWar?

Webster's defines as warmonger as:

"A person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war."

Under this definition how is McCain NOT a warmonger? His past support for the current war in Iraq; his support for continuing the war in Iraq indefinitely; and his talk about war with Iran all make him a warmonger by the very definition of the word.

Um McCain is warmonger...

Once again someone speaking at an Obama event starts with negative comments and the Obama people are quick to point out that he was "not there" when the comment was made. It appears that Obama gets these comments out and never has to take responsibility for what is said because he "was not there". For all the Obama people; while he may not have been on stage he must have been in the building, are his people saying that he NEVER listens to the speakers who are on stage speaking for him? I thought that Obama did not want to run a negative campaign, so he lets others do it for him. Focus on the issues and stop name calling.

Barack wasn't there and he didn't say it. I am tired of all of this denounce and reject B.S. Now everyone wants to jump on Barack high road and morals and judgment that’s why we need Barack as president. You see what Barack can bring us together with this movement he really can change the way the world views the United States if given a chance.

“I Have A Dream”

Obama 08!!!

Get over it McCain! I am so sick of everyone having to denounce and decry every day in this campaign! The candidates need to toughen up and stop whining! Give the American people a break from the nonsense already!

OK, CNN – get your facts straight! I was at the North Dakota Democratic Convention and Ed Schultz did not speak there. Maybe you mean progressive talk show host Heitkamp? Poor reporting.

Warmonger, warmonger, warmonger: if it wants war, if it wants to extend war, if it wants to keep funding a war @ 10 billion $ a month, then you gotta call it a warmonger. Also, you can tell Karl Rove where to stick his lapel pin...

He is constantly talking about staying in Iraq and going after Iran. I don't know if it makes him a war monger but it does make him seem suspect.

This is ridiculous. A lot of people have called John McCain a warmonger. That is a very common thing people say about him. Just the other day at work, one of my co-workers told me John McCain is a warmonger. I have also called him a warmonger. Why do so many people call him a warmonger? Because it is true! Now I know John McCain's entire family has a long history of being in the military, his father and grandfather were both very high-ranking military officers, and he has sons fighting in Iraq. But does that make John McCain an expert on military matters? He graduated 5th from the bottom from the Naval Acadamy, and had a long list of demerits. He is old and is having "senior moments" such as talking about Al Qaeda in Iran (when he should have said Al Qaeda in Iraq). John McCain supported the war in Iraq from the beginning, has never wavered, and he was the person who originally proposed the so-called troop "surge". The surge only seemed to work because Muqtada al-Sadr told his Mehdi Army to stop fighting and blend in with the civilian population and wait for us Americans to leave. But recent violence in Basra has unraveled the gains that seemed to have happened during the surge, and that violence spread to Baghdad and especially its Sadr City neighborhood. The Iraqis expect us to leave in a year or two and are waiting us out, and each militia is trying to get hooked up with the best weapons, armor, and training. The Iraqi army is basically just members of various militias who are getting hooked up with free weapons, armor, and training from us Americans, so they can fight a civil war after we leave. The Iranians are also training and arming most of the militias, too. So, I think history is proving that John McCain's strategy of a troop surge is not working, and he is in fact a warmonger. And "warmonger" is not an offensive term, it merely refers to people who like to go around starting wars and escalating them. It is calling a spade a spade. It is "straight talk", the kind of straight talk that John McCain pretends he does. Calling John McCain a warmonger is just saying the obvious truth, and nobody should have to reject or denounce someone else for telling it like it is.

I don't like Ed Schultz but he is calling a spade a spade. Can't we just get back to the policies of the Presedential Candidates? Maybe with non-informational news networks like CNN and Fox I guess we can't

If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, don't get offended when someone calls you a duck.

Yet another Air America Hatemonger.

WE KNOW THAT SCHULTZ SUPPORTS OBAMA AND THIS WAS DONE ON PURPOSE. JOHN MCCAIN IS A WAR HERO, MR. SCHULTZ AND MR. OBAMA. MR. OBAMA FOR ATTENDING A CHURCH FOR OVER 20 YEARS THAT PREACHES HATE FOR OUR COUNTY YOU SHOULD BE CALLED A NON PATRIOT CITIZEN (AND THAT IS BEING SAID IN A POLITE MANNER). OBAMA LOVES THIS TYPE OF NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING.

I think that there is a HUGE difference between Schultz, who is not even an Obama surrogate, saying something about McCain at an even not sponsored by the Obama campaign and McCain allowing that goon in Tennessee to speak ill of Obama at his own campaign rally. This should not even be an issue connected to the Obama campaign. After everything is said and done, people have been trying to finds errors in Obama's character, and all they have been able to come up with is attacks against people who know him. Why can't the media accept the fact that perhaps, just maybe, this guy might be an okay person?

but wait he is a warmonger isn't he.... he is committed to 100 more years in Iraq.

like Randi Rhodes, Ed Schultz is another radio talk show host from Air America , you cannot put them in front of a crowd, they loose their minds, I used to listen to them, not anymore.

I respect McCain for his military service to this country. But the following are quotes from his mouth: "100 years" of war in Iraq. "Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran" (sung to the tune of a Beach Boys song). Sounds pretty warmongering to me.

We should rename the Primary Season the Season of Denouncing and Rejecting.

No,,,,,

Say it isn't so.....Obama...the Uniter...the Hopeful one attacking the personal character of other candiates?

Get used to it McCain.......this is typical Obama.

Of course you know as soon as you respond to his comment, you will then hear the Whiner start with the poor me....he's attacking me....it's a racial thing, etc.

Don't forget to him....you are just another typical white person.

Are you kidding? Obama responded every bit as quickly as McCain did. And in addition, Obama did not come out himself demanding McCain apologize for something one of his supporters said. And lastly, this guy is not one of Obama's supporters at all, but Obama apologized anyway.

Why does warmonger McCain object to being called a warmonger. What is warmonger McCain's problem with being referred to as a warmonger. Is it the truth that warmonger McCain is a warmonger? Does warmonger McCain prefer being called a flip-flopping warmonger or a lying warmonger? Warmonger McCain just apologized for being a bigoted warmonger. Is that the point? We are supposed to wait years and years for him to apologize for being a warmonger before we can stop calling him a warmonger? Do we have to keep losing American lives in this war, throwing away our economy, fostering terrorists just because warmonger McCain doesn't like being called a warmonger. Warmonger McCain, why don't you apologize for being a warmonger.

Hmm....maybe now McCain & Obama are even after the radio guy gave Obama crap. Did McCain tell the radio guy to say that stuff? Probably not. Did Obama tell his guy to say that stuff? Probably not. It's a non issue and the media is desparate for news. Let's talke about whether Hillary has a pattern of unethical behavior and lying. There's stories flying around on the internet about how she was fired for such behavior. Seems it's still going on today.

But McCain is a warmonger. That's the truth.

In the words of Bill Clinton "who cares?"

that's politic's baby!!!

Why would Obama disagree with the truth. If McCain actually saw up close the people he killed during war instead of from 30 thousand feet he wouldn't be such a warmonger. The fact that he was held in prison camps so many times only makes him more apt to pay people back.

A vote for McCain is a vote for more death and terrorist attacks on the US.

There is no comment. He is the best and smart, clever enough. He can't be judge for another people's feelings. It just show how people love him and we DO LOVE him. He is our future president. NO question and doubts. And yes, I AM white colleague educated woman. With all our community staying and voting for Barack. He IS unique and THE ONE.

Obama likes to have it both ways. Let the voters be heard-vs-not recognizing the voters in Mi and Fl. He didn't say a word about his supporters suggesting Clinton step down until it appeared there might be a backlash.
Also, he is running ads in Pennsylvania and Indiana that Newsweek calls misleading since he claims he doesn't take any money from oil and gas companies.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics-none of the candidates can take money directly from gas/oil companies because of a law. However, they all take money indirectly, including Obama-over 200 grand.
Two of his top money bundlers are executives for oil companies.

What I find interesting during this campaign season is how much finger-pointing is going on with regard to what one person says to another. Is this not still a free-speech nation where people are still free to speak their opinion, provided they're not inciting violence in doing so? Someone says that McCain is a war-monger. Well, from McCain's perspective that might not be true, but it's certainly hard to argue that McCain is DISCOURAGING war. Someone called Hillary Clinton a "monster." Well, that's certainly open to debate as well, keeping in mind that the secondary definition of "monster" is "a threatening force."

Obama's reputation has gotten dragged through the mud this past month, ALL on account of the words of OTHER people. The gaffes for which the Clinton and McCain campaigns are earning their grief came directly from the mouths of the candidates themselves.

Someone is actually CRITICIZING obama??????? What will he do????? Wait, where is the MEDIA to protect him?????????? Hurry someone take care of this so he doesn't have to deal with it!!!!!

Where are ALL the stories about all his LIES on the campaign trail about the info in his books being FABRICATED????
SELMA, THE MAGAZINE ARTICLE, THE KENNEDY'S ROLE IN HIS FATHER GETTING TO THE U.S.?????

Good for you Senator McCain!

But, Obama's so called "spirit" is a sham. He is a down and dirty, obfuscating, power-hungry, ego driven and arrogant politician. He is also lopsided in his racial ideology, and is extremely divisive.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 or McCain!

typical Obama, more politics of hope and change!!!! LOL!

John McCain isn't a war monger, he simply lives and breathes war. He grew up into the Navy, and his status as a "war hero" has defined him ever since. It's all he knows (he can't even be bothered to know about "issues" like the national importance of Martin Luther King, Jr).

We've seen what the "war is the answer" mindset has gotten us for the last eight years and I hope we don't repeat the mistake by electing John McCain to serve out George W. Bush's 3rd term.

It's a shame that some people feel a need to place titles on candidates. I am so glad that the Senator's campaign was willing to give such a quick response. It would have been much nicer if we could have had a statement from the Senator himself. Titles and labels needs to be avoided in this campaign. There is far too much at stake.

Ed Schultz is his own man. If the McCain campaign has issues with the statement, they should take it up with Ed Schultz.

It would be like the Obama or Clinton campaign taking the McCain campaign to task over something Rush Limbaugh says.

Schultz was way out of bounds. Obama should set the example and apologize. Instead his people excuse him by calling Schultz "not and official supporter" – whatever that is. Maybe Ed Shultz should be offended – seems like Obama has rejected his support. Seems like Obama is rejecting the North Dakota Democratic Party, too, since by asking Shultz to speak, they obviously approve of him. Obama never really apologizes or takes responsibility for the disgusting and many times hateful things his supporters say. He could put a stop to it if he would show a little character and speak out against it.

So,
How can a candidate be responsible of comments made by the public?
I don't think McCain has got it right, whoever asked the question was wrong but the blame doesn't have to go to Obama.Simple as that

If Hussien didn't get offended by 20 years of "God Damm america" U.S. of the KKK" why would he be offended by his people calling a real american hero a "war monger.?" His hero is the reverand and Louis.

If the shoe fits, Senator McCain, if the shoe fits.

It is obvious that Sen. Obama does not feel that this comment accurately describes Sen. McCain. His campaign has always taken a higher road . It is a distraction from the issues at hand to ask a candidate to constantly spend time cleaning up after loyal but over-zealous supporters.

McCain denounced such comments immediately. But Obama true to his pattern did not denounce such characterizations. He is good about letting others say something and then will respond only when pushed by either another candidate or by public opinion.

I am not a McCain supporter, but what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Apologize Obama.

I KNOW CNN WON'T PRINT THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BIAS BUT I WILL GIVE IT A TRY ANYWAY:

IT SEEMS THAT OBAMA IS ALLOWED TO SAY AND DO ANYTHING AND PEOPLE JUST OVERLOOK IT OR HE COMES UP WITH SOME KIND OF ANOTHER LIE FOR AN EXCUSE, THEN IT IS JUST FORGOTTEN ABOUT. HOW MUCH MORE DO WE NEED OF OBAMA.
HE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE RACE ,NOT HILLARY, IT'S TIME FOR THE DEM PARTY TO ASK OBAMA TO STEP DOWN !
OBAMA MAKES ME SICK !

Senator John McCain,

Sometimes the truth hurts. How do you think the troops dying in IRAQ feels. The purpose of the US Military is to protect the US not to fight in someones Civil War.

warmonger -a person who advocates war or warlike policies.

This word actually describes Sen McCain's position on the war & the future of the war. Does it not?

-David

Dumfries, VA

But McCain IS a warmonger. Webster's definition: "one who urges or attempts to stir up war." McCain's whole record is war. McCain's whole platform for candidacy is war. Schultz spoke the truth.

Obama was too quick to repudiate Schultz's remarks. McCain was playing petty politics to try to make himself look like a man of integrity. If this is the only trick McCain has in his bag, his campaign is already in trouble. Sheesh.

Well yes, I find nothing wrong with this statement. McCain might have been exposed to war system in his time, but he still feels that we should keep going with this ongoing Iraq war. I am fully against the war, but I feel there is no end to the East problem. They have and had war since the old Testament-Bible times.

Obama made his statement that he thought is right, at least he is honest about the way he feels. No I am not an African-American.
Thumbs up !!!

Big surprise that Obama again uses the "I wasn't there and didn't hear it" defense

Anyone who thinks it's ok to be in conflict for the next 100 years or bites at the bit to attack another country (Iran) is definately a warmonger.

whatever grandpa

I'd say if you plan on keeping our troops in Iraq for 100 years and sing about bombing Iran, you're a warmonger.

Have you ever noticed that Sen. Obama only denounces things when they are against him?

Can you imagine what life would be like if this man was allowed to be President denouncing everything! OMG

Hillary 2008

I didn't hear McCain say anything about the Rep. Steve King when he spoke about who would be jumping up in the streets if obama wins.

Vote against MLK
Vote for war
McCain is a "warmonger"

I'm not a McCain supporter, but why don't we just confine radio talk show hosts to radio.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines warmonger as :a person who advocates war or warlike policies. Poor little Johnny!! Guess he doesn't like the shoe fit!!

John McCain supports being in Iraq for another 100 years, so whatever you want to call it, he's a war hawk! Sure, elect McSame so we can continue to pour billions of taxpayer dollars each month to Iraq while our own economy implodes! Do you realize how much of an economic stimulus package Congress could have implemented to actually solve some problems in this economy with the half billion dollars that has been spent thus far on the Iraq war? It's pathetic. John McSame will be another 4 more years of George Bush's third term.

He is a warmonger, and a one note candidate. There is no question in my mind we will go to war with Iran, which is what the Middle East wants us to do. So we will be fighting three wars.

Obama 08

Well, excuse me. But McCain *is* a warmonger, and he knows it. He wants to sell a 100 years war in Iraq to the American people and to the world. He may think that such language as "warmonger" is unnecessary, but since when has it been unnecessary to call a spade a spade?

I sure love your headline CNN. McCain "criticizes" Obama over speaker.

Check what McCain said:

"I hope that in keeping with the spirit of Sen. Obama, that they condemn, that Sen. Obama will condemn such language since it was a part of his campaign," McCain said. "But that kind of language is unnecessary for this campaign. I think its very clear how I feel about war and my experiences with it."

How does this criticize Obama in any way? It simply asks Obama to denounce the comments made by someone else.

Whatever happened to my comment. Told the truth, huh? Fox will beat you out with an up to date report on the goofs of Barack Obama.

McCain is losing his mind. Why should Obama apologize for comments that he nor his campain made? Is McCain goint to apologize to Obama for all the negative and often racist comments he receives from Fox News?

Schultz has been shilling for Obama from day one so to say he is not an offical Obama supporter is laughable at best.

If the shoe fits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you kidding me?!

Grandpa IS a warmonger and needs to go take his geritol and shut up!

Why don't these people get it right. McCain and Hillary want to always blame Obama for something that he is not responsible for.

That speaker was not a part of Obama's campaign and has the right to say whatever they wanted ot. McCain needs to take his whining to the person who made the comments, NOT Obama.

They are just pissed, mad and angry because the nation is finally getting it right and not falling for all the political hoopla and nonsense of yesteryear.

OBAMA 08!

He is a warmonger....he voted, supports and feels the need to remain for an unlimited period of time...in a country that did nothing to us.
He also teases about "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran". ...what do you call it then?

Are we a bit touchy, McCain ? Sounds like you feel left out and want also 'be apologized to' .

Why should Obama be sorry? It's true, McCain is a warmonger.

"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."

Schultz isn't even apart of Obama's campaign or an official supporter nor was Schultz asked to speak by the Obama campaign. The North Dakota Democratic Party asked Schultz to speak which means that McCain and his campaign need to get their facts straight.

Then again, these types of misstakes are consistent. There's definitely a problem with that when that type of person is running for the highest position in the country doesn't it?

Up for a debate? It's easy to take shots from the campaign trail. But, if you become the Dem nominee you will have to stand on your own to feet and will not have Hillary to agree with.

We have all seen how you hold up in a debate.

Seems like the least Obama could do here is denounce the comments personally and immediately.

When the guy introducing McCain at an event a few months back referred to the Illinois Senator as Barrack Hussein Obama, McCain did not hesitate or wait for polls to come in – he denounced the comments as soon as he got on stage.

If Obama genuinely disagrees then he shouldn't be talking through a spokesperson he should be speaking himself-he's good at talking a lot.

This just shows that as the candidates go McCain has a great deal more honor than anyone else in the field.

"War·mon·ger·ing" \-g(ə-)riŋ\ noun : One who urges or attempts to stir up war ... Webster Dictionary
(You be the judge)

It's really interesting that Obama's constant excuse is that so and so is not officially part of his campaign.

McCain IS a warmonger. Mr. Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran, and stay the course in Iraq, supports current wars and is keen to wage new ones. That is precisely what a warmonger is–you can run from the truth Mr. McCain, but it will always catch up to you...

HERE WE WE GO AGAIN.....

OBAMA HAS PEOPLE TO DO THE (DIRTY) WORK FOR HIM....

SAME OLD POLITICS, NOTHING NEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama was mentored by a pastor for over 20 years that preaches hate and devisiveness. Obama never denounced him until it was politically expedient to do so.

Why would anyone think he would do the right thing and denounce this statement?

Anyone who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years is a Warmonger. Anyone who wants to stay in Iraq for another year is a Warmonger. This war MUST end so that the US can save itself from itself.

The Bush administration has made a mess out of this country. It all started with George Bush's War. This country is close to being broken to the point of no return; we do not need a 72 year old POW with PTSD to complete our downfall.

This has already been repudiated by The Obama campaign.

This is getting pretty petty, I mean every time someone says something about McCain, they blame Sen. Obama. Sen. McCain needs to call the Senator who called him a "warmonger"!!

Why is he going through Sen. Obama? Obama is NOT the Senator's FATHER.

LET'S MOVE ON....

MaCain is exactly what he was called. WARMONGER
THATS ALL HE EVER TALKS ABOUT, THATS ALL HE KNOWS ABOUT,
THATS WHAT HE RUNS HIS SPEECHS ON.
HE IS AN ABSOLUTE WARMONGER

Give it a rest John........for crying out loud.

McCaint is a war-monger!!

MaCain doesn't have the balls to say what he thinks, he is a flip flopper. He has been war monguering his way to the republican nomination and now he doesn't like being called what he is.

It is clear that Obama is a weak-minded person who has difficulty repudiating the extreme Left, first in the case of Rev. Wright and now Schultz. Contrast this with McCain's unambiguous and resounding repudiation of the extreme Right.

Go McCain! If not, go Hillary but NEVER Obama

Once again Obama will be asked to denounce the thoughts and ideas of another supporter. This is getting rediculous and the media plays a large roll in the outcome of these kinds of comments. This guy is inot even a member of the Obama campaign staff. McCain is a grown man let him fight for himself, this has absolutely nothing to do with Obama's positions or feelings toward McCain. At this rate he will have to start denouncing the comments on the CNN ticker!

What's wrong with calling a warmonger a warmonger?

What's wrong with telling the truth about somebody? If the truth hurts, then maybe they ought to look at themselves and decide if that's the kind of image they really want to project. But don't get all upset that someone calls you out when you say things like we should be in Iraq and will probably be there for 100 years. Or when you sing "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran".

If you don't want to be known as a warmonger, John, then don't be one.

What the heck?! What happened to "freedom of speech?"

Oh, wait: this is Post 9-11 America. Never mind.

Let's just denounce anyone who says anything. This is ridiculous. People of all three camps are making silly, stupid, insensitive, unnecessary comments. So, let's denounce anyone who makes any comment that is not specific to the campaign. I denounce CNN, Fox, MSNBC and all medial outlets who referred to the candidates as old, black, white, female, male, Chrisitian, veteran, non-Christian, liberal, conservative, neo-conservative, etc. because none of these things haev anything to do with how the economy is going to change, and how these young men and women will come home alive.

Agree! John McCain should have not been described as 'warmonger' as he is not. We do differ from his policies of war, and particulary 'Iraq' war; that is it.

'Obama's message is very positive, and his compaign is very civil. I am sure he does not appreciate the kind of comment either.

Why is it ok for all of the conservative talk show hosts to call Obama and Clinton worse names when McCain, Chenney, and Bush go on their shows but this is soooo bad. Besides, this was not a political event where ED Schultz was asked to introduce Obama.

Hey McCain, you want Obama to renounce the truth? You are a warmonger, this is the main core of your politic. Your political power will not survive a minute if you and Bush stop this tactic.

It is unfortunate when people let their exuberance get ahead of their good sense and speak inappropriately, as apparently was the case with Mr. Schultz. It lowers the level of the debate. There is plenty about Senator McCain's credentials that one can direct ones energies against in addition to his war position. Take his environmental positions in the Senate for example, which are given a score of 24 (out of a possible 100) by the League of Conservation Voters, or his self-proclaimed lack of knowledge about the economy (rather critical at this time wouldn't you say), or the endorsement by one of the most radical of Christian clerics, or his attitude toward spending without taxation to pay for it. There are plenty of legitimate weaknesses to attack without descending to name calling.

anything to take people's eyes off the MLK Day controversy, right John?

what a moron.

John McCain comes from a military family and himself spent time as a POW. I think these experiences had an enormous affect on him and I'd have to agree he seems to have become a "war monger." McCain has been pro invasion of Iraq since the start, he proclaims the surge of more troops for that invasion is working, yet at the same time he calls for more troops in Iraq and he’s told us he’s willing to keep them there for 100 years. He is also pro-invasion of Iran and perhaps other countries later.

However, the future of this nation depends on not having another president who thinks we have a moral authority to invade and destroy other nations. We need a president who will work to protect us, but not just by invading others. He must be able to solve problems with his mind and his intelligent advisors, not solely with the might of the U.S. military.

Of course Obama didn't say it - he will make sure he has plausible deniability - he lets his hangers-on say stuff like that.

What's an onger, and maybe a cold one is better?

From an outsider looking in (from Canada) trust me.... ALL Republicans are Warmongers. That is what they are. That is how the entire rest of the earth sees them. Wake up America.

From Blackwater, to Haliburton, to everything they do Republicans are all about two things 1) Saudi Oil Profits and 2) Blowing things up so US taxpayers can pay to rebuild them.

WOW...Is it going to be this way for the next 7 month. Everytime someone uses a world consider too negative the candidate has to REJECT and CONDEMN the word?? I don't know about everyone else, but I feel this is getting close to ridiculous.
He may not be a WARMONGER but I am pretty sure he would be a little too quick to go after Iran, and stay in Iraq for at LEAST 5 more years at the current troop level. This is unaccceptable!!!

Aaaaaaand ... what exactly is wrong with what Ed said? McCain IS A WARMONGER. How can he possibly deny this? And what in the world does Obama have to do with any of this? He wasn't even in the building at the time and this wasn't even an event sponsored by his campaign! Even if it was, McCain IS a warmonger of warmongers. I've called him one myself many many times and have no regrets. I love Ed Schultz' show... YOU TELL 'EM BIG EDDIE!

The man who parodied the Beach Boy's "Barbara Ann" into "Bomb Iran" a warmonger? Well...he's certainly not a peacemonger. Ed Schultz is dead on.

Well we know who the attack dogs are not the republicans!
If this is offensive Obama's nomination for the presidency will be a walk in the park!

It is only those who have never been closer to actual combat than sitting in a movie theatre who can call anyone who has experienced the realities of armed conflict, and, in McCain's case, the isolation of years of imprisonment, warmongers. Unfortunately, it is also the mindset of Obama and the Clintons and those around them to denigrate those who have the courage to actually serve and defend this country.

Now we are spliting hairs....

Definition of "Warmonger": One who advocates war

Definiton of "Advocate": To argue in favor of

Talk about flip-flopping; McCain has already made the mistake of stating that the U.S. should be in Iraq for another 100 years. Then he re-iterated (when he realized that he made a major political error by saying so), and tried to cover it up with, "The U.S.'s presence should be in Iraq for 100 years." Oh brother! McCain is as much of a warmonger as Senator Obama is a liberal. It seems as if being a P.O.W. did not change McCain's mind about the cruelty of war.

Oh please. John McCain IS a warmonger.

I'm a Dem, but I'd vote for Mccain over Obama any day. Atleast he's not a hypocrite.

Except it was not pat of his campaign. It was the ND State Convention. Hillary also spoke.

A monger is a seller. A warmonger is someone who sells war. Senator McCain is correct: "I think its (sic) very clear how I feel about war and my experiences with it." Yes, it's very clear. His "Bomb, Bomb Iran" comment leaves no doubt. His endorsement of the failed "surge" and recent visit to Israel are confirmation of what he is selling. With his promising an Iraq occupation lasting on 50; 100; 1,000; or 10,000 years and advocating more war, more casualties, more broken lives, more destroyed property, more widows, more orphans, and more sacrifice for American families, how can Senator McCain be described as anything else? Perhaps Ed Schultz should have added the adjective "evil" to describe what kind of warmonger the Arizona senator is. If it talks like a duck, it is a duck.

John McCain is not a "war monger". But he did support the Iraq war from the beginning. That's no good.
I would vote for Obama, but I need to be convinced he will not tax us into oblivion.
As long as Hillary is sent home packing, I'll be happy.

I agree with the statement that John McCain is a war warmonger.Like Bush he feels it is ok to leave our troops there for as long as it takes to bring what is a civial war to a close.Iraq views us as a occupation and they are right,We have shed enough blood as with the lives of the poor Iraq people.It is ashame the truth hurts,and i am glad Ed Schultz said it

The dictionary defines "warmonger" as one who advocates war. Ed Schultz is just calling it as it is.

Until Obama or his surrogate has to run from a burning fighter jet on a flight deck while his fellow sailors fight the fire, they should be very careful how they use their 1960s leftist rhetoric. It blew McCarthy and Humphrey out of the election then and it will again.

Respect, people. Service to our country is never wrong and never a dishonor no matter how intensely we object to the war.

I appreciate the speed with which the Obama and McCain campaigns seek to tone down commentary. I think it bodes well for this campaign season.
No doubt numerous posters here will try to claim "if the shoe fits..." However, Mr. McCain has seen the worst side of war and has had a son at risk in the current one, so I am sure he lacks the bloodlust that the term "warmonger" implies.
It would be very interesting to backtrack through the slogans of the last few presidential elections to see how military experience has been treated before. I think we would find it funny how our parties no doubt presented military experience as invaluable when their candidates had it and not nearly so important when they didn't.

Poor old Bomb Bomb McCain may not be a warmonger, but he is a military person, and as such his only solution to problems is to bomb people. Does he ever feel remorse for the people he killed in Viet Nam? He was only acting on orders, but over a million people, real human beings, men, women and children were killed for questionable purpose. If we make him president, God help the world.

The dictionary defines "warmonger" as one who advocates war. Ed Schultz is just calling it as it is.

YOU ARE A WARMONGER. IF THE TRUTH HURTS....

If the shoe fits ...

John McCain has been all over the map when it comes to Iraq. But of course, he's been all over the map on a lot of issues. He's a lot like Hillary Clinton because they'll both say anything to win an election.

I certainly don't think I could ever trust John McCain after I've seen him try to hard to suck up to the conservative wing of the GOP just to win the nomination. It has been disappointing because I think a lot of people thought McCain was a man of principles.

It's too early to start complaining about little things like these....
If this is the tone of the general elections then I can see the whole exercise being pathetic.
People have to be dismissed or denounced for every little comment they make, has the US elections now become a child play or what?

SENATOR MCCAIN IS A DECENT MAN AND A WAR HERO. HE WOULD BE A SHOE-IN FOR THE PRESIDENCY WERE IT NOT FOR THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION FAILURES THAT ARE NOW AFFECTING OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE AND GOTTEN OUR
COUNTRY INTO A RECESSION ..THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY JOBS LOST IN MANY STATES AND THE NUMBER OF WORKERS
WHO HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS IS MOUNTING. UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES IT IS AN UPHILL AND DIFFICULT ROAD FOR MCCAIN TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NO REAL PLATFORM ON WHICH THEY CAN MOUNT AN IMPRESSIVE
CAMPAIGN TO IMPRESS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE SOLUTIONS TO REVERSE OUR COUNTRY'S PROLEMS..

Well if the shoe fits...

Hey Sen. McCain...I be upset too if I were a warmonger

But he is a War Monger

Lets go Hillary supporters! Time to degrade Obama over this story, although it is clear neither he nor his campaign had anything to do with this speaker. On your mark, get set, GO!

When are you going to do the same for McCain

If the shoe fits...

AAaaawwwwwwwwww poor poor Mc Cain, the truth really does hurt, don't it? So sad......

McCain is a WARMONGER! What does he think bomb bomb Iran was ? Just another lame joke?

It amazes me how McCain and Clinton are quick to criticize Obama for something they think he should say or do. Yet you haven't heard Obama criticize McCain for voting against MLK holiday and for some strange reason decides to apolize after 40 years nor has Obama criticized Hillary for getting fired during the Nixon administration when she deceived her supervisors even though I'm sure he knew about it. Obama has more integrity in his ring finger than McCain, Hillary, and Bill Clinton combined!

How is this statement different in harshness to the vitriol spewed daily by the right wing radio folk ... ?

I sure think that there is a difference tween a Hopemonger and a Warmonger. One gives and the other takes.

Just as Mr. McCain got an introduction a few weeks back from someone a "over the top" who McCain had to denounce, the same just happened to Obama. Knowing his speeches, dialogue and press releases, this type of rhetoric is neither encouraged or tolerated in his camp.
My apologies to Mr. McCain who is a respected rival in this race.

I used to listen to Ed Schultz on most days. I quit because of his emotionalism and lack of fairness. He tries to convince listeners to vote for Obama while attacking other candidates on silly things like McCain's temper or Cllinton crying. Schultz used to discuss issues and inform listeners. Now he is not better than Bill O'Reilly or Limbaugh. I am not surpized he blew it. He thinks that he is such a big shot now, and his rude style is catching up with him now.

Warmonger literally means one who sells war. I can't think of a better description for John McCain who will have us in Iraq for 100 years. Really, these candidates have got to shed their thin skins and talk about the issues.

"Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran".....those are your words McBush, I don't believe you to be a Warmonger "per se" but I think I've had enough of your generation screwing around with our global image...you seem to view the world in black and white. Unfortunately we are not "saviors of the universe blessed by god" but a deeply flawed country trying to do its best in a complex world.....step aside old man, your generation had its chance, its time for change.

-Obama 08

Wahh.

John McCain is more than just a warmonger. He's a dolt who knows nothing of the economy and connects with no one under the age of 40. He's often clueless to important distinctions between various groups in the middle east and has been caught on camera nodding off on the job. He supported, and still supports, the foreign policy behind one of the greatest blunders in US military history.

Are there really that many people interested in 4 more years of garbage and lies from the GOP?

Not a warmonger, that title along with many others belong to the Decider. This story will last the 15 minutes it merits.

Well maybe McCain stop running his mouth about going to war with Iran and staying in Iraq forever. If you think an Iraq occupation will be like S. Korea or Germany after WW2 you're high.

Obama really has got to get a grip if he is going to compete this fall. This is more bad news for Obama.

Why should Obama denounce or reject these words? THEY ARE HIS PLATFORM!

That is even more silly than asking him to rebuke Reverend Wright. I think most people in this country agree with both individuals when it comes to their statements about the war and George Bush/John McCain's failed and dangerous foreign policy.

BRAVO BARACK!

Our political candidates need to focus on what is best for our country and grow a thick hide in the meantime.

Their sensitivities are of no consequence unless they carry that type of immaturity into office. Heaven Forbid we elect a Martyr.

Definition of warmonger: Someone who advocates for war.

Didn't he support the Iraq war? Didn't he sing "bomb Iran Doesn't he support staying in Iraq for 100 years?

Shame on you Ed Shultz, shame on you!

Whatever John "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran" McCain,

Obama 08, 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is far too much apologizing going on! If someone wants to call Senator McCain a warmonger....okay, he gets called a warmonger. Better his actions prove he is NOT a warmonger (tough, given his unwavering support for Bush's policies), than demand that someone who wasn't even there apologize.

Trying to figure this out. McCain was called a warmonger and wants the comment taken back, condemned, whatever. Since its true why would anyone take it back?

Well, actually, what else would you call McCain? He is in favor of continuing the was indefinitely. I do think that's odd especially after what he himself went through in Vietnam. Is there a different word to describe someone who favors continuing the war?

McCain is upset over being called a warmonger? Let's see.

He supported the war – CHECK
He is a STRONG ADVOCATE of the war – CHECK
He calls anyone opposed to the war a "SURRENDERER" – CHECK
He promised to continue Bush's war after he takes office – CHECK

If he is not a warmonger, then what is he, a peacemonger?

McCain is a warmonger. He encourages war and it is for personal reason- political gain. He wants to say "we won" What is there to win? Saddam is dead. Ok,,we won. This war should stop now. It ils the first reason our gas is as high as it is and these gas prices are destroying the underpinning of the US economy. The belief that government contracts during war can cause a nation to prosper has been the misguided ,misstep of this administration. It ain't working! To borrow money for this war is insane. We will be paying on it for 100 years–at least McCain got that part correct. Senator Obama did not sponsor the event. He didn't invite the person who spoke-McCain should address the organizers of this function instead.

Calling Mccain a war monger might sound inapriopriate but this is a candidate that have consistently praise the war and still insist that the war worth fighting for despite four thousan of our dear citizen's blood been sheded in Iraq, if he is not a war monger what shall we call him? a peace maker? . If this guy get voted in as the next American president i wouldnt be surprise if he wage a war agaist iran without any justification just as his friends ,Hurricain Bush and Cheney , did and we all are paying the price now.

What's the matter with McCain? Doesn't the truth hurt sometimes?

He is a warmonger. He chose to identify himself clearly with warmongers like Bush and Cheney, and now he doesn't like the heat in the kitchen. A warmonger, he is.

However, he is also a bonafide American military veteran and hero, in my opinion. He simply cannot have it both ways. If he worships Bush, he becomes identified with the liar, murder, warmonger that he happens to be. If he would stand against Bush - even I would be happy to vote for him!! Frankly, I would rather vote for McCain than either of the Democrat contenders.

But, I shall not, will not, cannot vote for McCain since he has chosen to defame his own character and hide his face deep inside Bush's sorry butthole. McCain earned every ounce of respect as a military person. He also has earned every ounce of disdain since he tacked his fortune and star to Warmonger Bush.

That's the way it is, McCain. You divorce Bush and many of us will clamour to vote for you. You stick with Bush and Cheney and the illegal, ill-begotten, murderous invasion of Iraq and you will go down the tubes in a hurry.

I guess the saying "The Truth Hurts" is true.

umm, I'm a Republican and I completely agree with describing John McCain as a "warmonger" because that's exactly what he is. I have a few choice descriptions for Obama and Clinton too. Which is why I won't vote for ANY of them.

War and violence are both primitive and abhorrent behaviors. If you sell fish you are a fish-monger and if you promote fighting a war for 100 years you are a war-monger!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

"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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Since when is speaking the truth so wrong?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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!!!!!!

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.

Bomb, bomb bomb
Bomb, Bomb Iran.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Truth hurt, McCain???

Mr. Schultz is right!.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...)

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.

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

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....

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.

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

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.

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

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?

Better a "warmonger" than a "wimp"

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

. . . .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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Warmonger: One who advocates or endorses war.

"Bomb bomb Iran." –John McCain

nuff said.

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.

Would McCain rather be called a war criminal?

Um, John – If the shoe fits..................................

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?

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.

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

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

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?

I agree with Ed Schultz.

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 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!

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

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??

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.

WHY IS MCCAIN RUNNING FOR COMMANDER IN CHIEF ?

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 ?!!

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

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!

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.

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!

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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"....

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

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!

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Can't handle the truth much eh Mcsame?

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...

"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.

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.

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?

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.

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

McCain in 2008

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.

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

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

Obama '08

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Keep spin Obama, until you fall!

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

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!!!

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!

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

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

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.

"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.

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

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

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

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.

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.)

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

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.

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

WAKE UP AMERICA!

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?

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!

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.

McCain is a warmonger

Is he not for the Iraqi War?

Flip-Flop?

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!

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

What is wrong in telling the truth ??

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

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

Mock indignation at it's best!

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

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?

but john,you are a war monger

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.

Insane Mccain is Not a warmonger?

who do they think they are kidding?

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

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

typical air (scare) america host.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?

American politics are so silly.

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.
