CNN

If only America were smart enough to ignore the extremes (Schultz & Limbaugh); then we could have a reasonable debate. Warmonger is kind of harsh; what McCain is is a professional, lifelong soldier-admirable, but certainly not presidential.

I love how the left confuses strong policies against countries like Iran as being signs of being a warmonger. If you talk tough and never back it up like the Democratic party does you don't get results since most nations in the Middle East only understand the language of force. The only time you will see an issue between Middle Eastern countries solved by means other then force and threats of force is when somehow it has to do with hurting Israel.

As for anyone who actually thinks that the Democratic candidate will bring the troops home quickly your living in a dream world. There is no viable currently running who is willing to have their presidential record marred by millions of deaths in Iraq because the US pulled out and a civil war ensued. Of course these are the same idiots who expect things to change over night in Iraq in regards to political problems even when our own country didn't get things right on the Constitution the first time and had huge political problems in it's early days. Of course none of the baboons in Washington would know that since they seem to think that things ran so smoothly when this country began and that their was no political strife when the Federalist party ran this country in the beginning.

Every time the senator begins a conversation he is talking about war. In his speechs he continuously talks about iran and other enemy's of America. He speaks about what he is going to do in the white house and WMD's as if he is President Bush. I see no diffence in Mccain and Bush, Bush claim to be a republican who would reach across the isle.

Shultz is absolutely right...All McCain thinks about is war and nore waf.. He is a WARMONGER...This is what the world needs, another WORLD WAR !!!.....Too many corruption , globally,

I've said some pretty out there things myself, and Obama has never distanced himself from me.

Should he have to?

This is the very reason McCain will not get elected President – the country had an opportunity to get rid of Bush 4 years ago and with him the Iraq war, and blew it. Now, the country will be given another opportunity to shut down this ungodly war with the election of either Clinton or Obama. Let's hope this country has learned from it's mistake.

Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary: warmonger- a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war. LOOK IT UP! The shoe fits.

If the entire US Radio universe wasn't owned by Right wing Zealots maybe he would have more listeners. There is no question that REPUBLICAN "DEREGULATION" resulted in REPUBLICAN "RADIO DOMINANCE". Getting to the question, some of us have had enough of paying for military incursions around the world with results like this. It takes us 2 months to train soldiers. Apparently it takes them MORE THAN 5 YEARS. The Iraqi government still can't stand on it's own feet. Let the civil war resolve itself at this point. They have had plenty of time to do it peacefully. McCain is going to spend Whose money to stay there 100 years?

Well said Adara i like the "I think Hillary Clinton is a power-hungry sore loser" this is true...JOHN MCCAIN ISSSSSSSSS a warmonger.

You 're right. some people dislike people that speak the truth.

GO SCHULTZ–YOU'RE A TRUE AMERICAN...

I totally agree with Schultz! The truth is the truth. Also, Hillary approved Bush's war and voted for it; now when when she sees the American public opposing the war, she conveniently opposes war too.

Wooooo Weeee! You Go, Eddie!! McCain is a warmonger. This from the man who went ot Iraq and proudly proclaimed how safe it was to walk to streets. Maybe he just wants to keep the war going to prove how right he was

What's the problem...?

I thought that if the comment was accurate, then there would be no backlash.

Usually, a man who has seen combat does everything in his power to avoid sending others into that kind of hell. That is 'not' Senator McCain.

After evaluation of the statement, I deem it to be accurate.

"Talking truth to power'!

Just saying.

GOBAMA

The Truth hurts!

I really like the comment by the lady from Florida where she stated Republican Administrations like to go to war. Take a look at history and you will see:

World War I Woodrow Wilson-Democrat
World War II Franklyn Roosevelt-Democrat
Korean War Harry Truman-Democrat
Vietnam Kennedy/Johnson-Democrats

Oh let's not forget the American Civil War Lincoln-Republican, whose agenda was to preserve the union and abolish slavery.

My how we soon forget.

FINALLY, someone in the media is telling the truth!

why is it wrong for a person in the media to tell it like it is? i see nothing wrong with what ed said, it's what millions of americans call him every day. mccain IS a warmongerer.

I'm getting so sick of reading in the news every single day that someone somewhere said something and now one of the candidates has to denounce it. What ever happened to the right to free speech? Hold the candidates accountable for what THEY say. I think HIllary Clinton is a power-hungry sore loser... does Barack Obama now have to publicly denounce my comment?

Schultz commenting about McCain is like Limbaugh commenting about Clinton. Who cares? It's all about ratings anyway. When is the last time you saw Schultz's name posted on a nationally-respected web-site or TV show before now.

He is just a ex-pow, bombing a country because he was given orders that´s all, don´t call him a patriot, he is not and do not insult the real heroes by calling him one, he is not.....sick and tired of all that adulation which he doesn´t deserve.
Has never voted to help his fellow VETERANS, those are your real heroes not that WARMONGER.

All of you who claim to be dems and would vote for mc?? if your candidate is not elected, you are the worst trash there is, you´ll do well with the repugs (that´s repugnants for you)

Brandon,

Just because the guy was a POW, does not give him character. Everything he does, say, or don't do can not be washed with the fact that he served in the military at one time. If it was that important how did GW beat him. Didn't see to many people placing that as a preimum then.

ed schultz you the man tand he truth
go ed

I guess when Republican pundits call Democrats "Defeatists""Traitors" or something else, it's OK?

If all of you would take the time to educate yourself you would know that just as many wars have been started by democrats as republicans. And yes there will be more wars, sorry to smack you with that bit of reality but that's the world we live in. McCain just tells you like it is, unlike Obama/Clinton who try to spin the reality of the world to whatever the fringe base of their party believes. Supporting a war doesn't equal being a war mongering. I hate war but also know that when humanity as failed itself we are sometimes forced to bring military action for the good of the world.

Yea, the democrats really don't care about national security. Schultz is a bone headed liberal, like most democrats when it comes to war–let's appease. Ah yes, shades of Nevil Chamberland during WWII.

The people who are criticizing him for calling McCain a warmonger obviously never looked the word up in the dictionary. Look the word up for yourself. McCain fits the description.

That is so lame. When is the last time Bill Oreilly or Rush Limbaugh was urged to clarify their remarks about Democrats or distance themselves from the canidates they support?? There is such a double standard when it comes to talk radio. And that is because COnservatives are so used to having the market to themselves. They cant stand the rapidly increasing LIberal Format, or the fact that it even exists. If you have ever actually listened to a few of Ed's shows, you would know that his views on politics and this country in general are based on common sense, something Right Wingers have never possessed.

Ed who?

McCain is just another me too Bush and Bush is the second president that I would call a warmonger. The other one was another Texan, Lyndon Johnson, both started wars on lies and then keep lying to try to convince the American people they are representing them.
They both only represented them selves and tried to make them selves KIngs or dictators.

Terry from VA,

When did McCain call for the bombing of Iran? I like you you

1) latch on to a misstatement (Iran training Al Qaeda),
2) take his "100 years" point out of context, and
3) not actually listen or read his stances on the war (he has a clear definition of what victory is)

to make your case. It would be equally true to say that Obama is a coward since he wants to cut and run from Iraq and abandon our allies in the region.

The fact that McCain sees winning this war as necessary to the security of the USA does not make him a warmonger any more than wanting to cut and run from Iraq makes Obama a coward.

McCain never met a war he didn't like...

McCain IS a warmonger....... you know hat they say, "if the shoe fits -"

I dont believe Mccain is a warmonger. I believe , he hates war, having gone through it.

The thing that African-Americans and many people didn't like is his VOTE Against the Martin Luther King jr. holiday.. what was it that Mccain voted against honoring a martyr for his beliefs.

indeed, if you read anything at all about mccain, you would see that he is a war-monger and he does not hide it. anyone who still to this day thinks vietnam and iraq are a good idea, and that if we just press on and "stay the course" we can win these wars, and that the deaths on all sides are worth it...hmmmm, yes, sorry, then i will have to question his character.

Shultz is right. Grandpa definitely fits the definition. Hope this is what Clinton supporters really want, if they decide to jump the fence to the dark-side when Hillary drops out. If they're so angry and vindictive, then maybe they should just stay home on election day.

I use to listen to Shultz but he talks about Senator Clinton so bad I had to stop listening to him. He says he's for Obama but to me it sounds like he is just out for himself. I'm not for McCain ...Shultz and Rhodes are scary and very mean! We need unbiased liberal radio.

VOTE CLINTON!

Don't question anything. -The typical conservative patriofascist mindset.

In one breath, McCain says that he doesn't like war.
In the other breath McCain is as hawkish as they come:
Bombbombbomb bombbomb Iran! McCain glibly sings.

Bush says '50 years in Iraq'.
McBush says '100 years in Iraq'.

Veterans are homeless; and McCain is not fighting for his comrades who are homeless on the streets.

McCain CANNOT be trusted to 'walk quietly while carrying the nation's 'big stick'.
It will be much much more of the same (McBush) should McCain becomes President.
Americans will find out later that they AGAIN made a huge mistake with McBush.

A sure sign of democrat's desperate to find something, anything on John McCain's character and/or experience..

A warmongering we will go...a warmongering we will go...hi ho the dairyo, a warmongering we will go...

Walks like a duck? Quacks like a duck? Okay then.

you know what I read about John McCain? A political leader who has built his campaign on supporting the troops has shot down the last 10 bills that help support our veterans. I'll be listening for his explanation...

war·mon·ger
n.
One who advocates or attempts to stir up war.

Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran... Just words?

I guess the truth hurts. Don't apologize or distance yourself from this Obama, it's true BY DEFINITION and McCain knows it!

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Ed Schultz? Doesn't he write/draw the cartoon "Peanuts"?

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Obama really doesn't have to do anything!
Schultz has said over and over as I am listening to his radio show right now that he dosen't speak for the Obama campaign.
He didn't even ask Schultz to be there.
He's not a surogate. NOTHING!
And now he is mad that McCain is trying to pin what he said on Obama.

And I am too!

McCain IS a WARMONGER

I am afraid it is true that John McCain is a warmonger. Republican administrations just like to go to war for whatever reason. I don't see it any differently with this candidate. Let's vote DEMOCRATIC so we can bring our troops home and fix the mess the Republicans made (again).

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect, Terry!

Name-calling is not nice, but McCain should be called on his "song" about bombing Iran. McCain's little ditty may have amused some of the wing-nuts on the right, but it's less helpful in finding a real solution to tensions in the mid-east.

Very ironic that the all-inclusive, open-minded, level-headed liberal Democrat is most apt to take a single issue and slap a label on someone. Signs of a desperate, divided political party. If you knew anything about John McCain, anything at all, you'd never question his character. Read something, learn something.

A presidential election with a inexperienced candidate on one side and a Vietnam War veteran who voted for the Iraq war on the other. In 2004, democrats viewed that the Vietnam veteran's experience would make him the best leader to end the Iraq conflict. Now, in 2008, we have the same scenario with the party's candidate reversed and we have leading democrats calling the inexperienced one the best to handle the Iraq crisis and the other, who's son was on the ground in Iraq, a "warmonger". No wonder Democrats can't hold the presidency. There was no place for that label in the 2004 election and there is no place for it in this election.

If you call for the bombing of Iran, you accuse the Iranians of training Al-queda, you say that we could be in Iraq for 100 years, you vote to go to war and you vote to continue the war with no articulated path to get out of the war or no defintion of how to win the war, what elase can you be if not a warmonger? Peace lover?

"Sorry to tell you this but there will be more wars" – John McCain

If the shoe fits. His policy, record, and public statements are direct evidence that the label fits!

Does anyone listen to this blowhard? Even Rush Limbaugh has more listeners, even though they're just two sides of the same coin.

Never heard of this talk show host, and after seeing such an absurd observation I don't need to. Calling McCain a warmonger is about the same level of stupidity as calling Obama a coward because he DIDN'T vote for the war. And Annie et al., McCain is NOT repeat NOT saying he wants a 100 year war. He was merely stating that it could take some time before our (and/or the UN's) presence is not felt in order to restore long-term stability. He was speaking realistically, which is something that the "stick our head in the sands and pretend the world is peaceful" people don't seem to understand.

SHULTZ MUST GO. HE KNOWS HE IS LYING. JOHN MCCAIN HAS BEEN IN WAR AND ABHORS IT.

Who is this guy? Why should anyone care what he calls McCain?

You go Ed, I love you, why are you not on 940 am anymore in South Florida?

ED SCHULTZ, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. CALLING THIS OLD MAN A "WARMONGER" IS THE PERFECT TITLE THAT JOHN McCAIN DESERVES.
HOW COULD WE REPLACE 4000 OF OUR BRAVE GI S AND FALLEN HEREOS ?
DISASTER GEORGE BUSH AND OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN SHOULD SHARE THIS TITLE.

When your wife is a multimillionaire,and you are a US senator,why should the rights and concerns of veterans who also have risk their lives for their country be of any concern to John McCain. Which is a reflection of his voting record for veteran benefits in 2001.

Obama 08!
Yes We Can!

McCain IS a warmonger.

Obama should distance himselft from Shultz.

As a registered Non-Affiliated voter and one equally disturbed by the leadership in both political parties, I have lots of talk show stations programmed into my radio presets. The left wingers on the left side presets (Shultz, Randi Rhodes, etc.......) and the right wingers on the right hand (Rush, O'Reily, etc......) Trust me. There are a lot of wack jobs on the radio. Listening is kind of like a car wreck. You can't look away.

Not that Howard Dean would be able to figure this out..... but the Democratic party should be distancing themselves from Shultz, Rhodes, et al. These people do not help the Democrats win elections. They push independents and moderate, centrist, populist democrats, educated people away. You only have to listen for a few minutes to realize there is no IQ requirement to become a radio talk show host.

I suppose if he said these words while on his radio show, all three of his listeners might be concerned.

In a time of an unpopular war and administration, accompanied by low consumer confidence, Sen. John McCain has been unfairly characterized as a Bush Republican warmonger past his prime. Not surprisingly, Sen. McCain is being given little chance to win the presidential election in November. To his supporters, John McCain is not your typical politician. For many, he is a larger than life figure who has devoted his considerable energies in service to America. Someone who has consistently demonstrated moral courage in standing up for what he believes is right even in the face of harsh criticism fron all sides. Whose honesty and candor are on display even when it leaves him more vulnerable to ridicule by his detractors. Who has overcome tremendous adversity only to emerge as a stronger person and statesman. And who has been willing to sacrifice everything – his freedom, political career, personal ambition, and reputation – for a cause greater than himself. In our current media-driven culture, where superficial appeal and self-aggrandizement dominate, genuine heroism can be obscured by lofty rhetoric. In the final analysis, it will be up to the American voters to cut through the illusion of make-believe and determine which is the candidate we trust to lead our country.

Way to go Big Eddie! If more people paid attention to our politicians' actions instead of the bulls–t spewing out of their mouths, we as a country would be much better off. I have not heard a politician honestly take a stand or view their position on an issue, without throwing in some wiggle room verbage, in a long time. For that reason, I can't wait to vote in the North Carolina primary on May 6 for Barak Obama. I was going to vote for Hillary until she turned into the "win at all costs" candidate she is now. Just for the record, I am a 48 year old white, happily married, christian male with two children and a good paying job.

I agree, and thanks for the information regarding McCain's veteran voting record in the senate, which I hope veterans will remember at the polls. If anything he should surely aspiire to support such reforms and actions regarding the very constituent group that he himself is a part of. I guess McCain's straight talk don't match up to his straight actions. Please no more republicans ever.

Obama 08!
Dems for the White House!

Ed Schultz is absolutely right – McCain is a warmonger and McCain should not be accusing Obama for "negative" campaining when what he's doing is exactly that.

Does it mean Obama cannot never criticize McCain when he actually advocates 100 years Iraq war, and troop surge?

He voted for the war, he wants to continue the war, well what does that make him.

It's been said that the hard job for the Islamic leaders is to keep control of their radical elements.

I think that is also true of the presidential candidates. Both parties have elements they'd rather not have supporting them, but they need to control those elements, regardless.

Of course he is a warmonger. It's a bad name, just like saying Clinton is a liar. But when you look at the definition of each, the description fits. Well done Ed.

Isn't he? Let's be honest here. 100 years in Iraq isn't exactly spreading the love. Why are we so fast to criticize the truth when we hear it instead of learn from it and try to not make the same mistakes we've made in the past? This country is becoming unlivable.

war·mon·ger – noun -a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war.

What part of that is not John McCain? He has advocated for, and endorsed the Iraq war. His comments about Iran appear to be early signals of precipitating war there. What's the problem?

Let the truth be told – warmonger indeed

What else would you call a man who says, "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran". He also implied that we should be in Iraq for 100 years.

I really think he is a Warmonger.

If that's not "warmongering" then i dont know what to call it.Trying to keep us in Iraq for 100 years sure is warmongering

I rarely agree with Shultz. But he's right about McCain.

Congratulations to the Democratic Schulz[Limbaugh]. America needs some one to speak the truth sometimes . Mccain is an egotist whose agenda is his own advancement., But as an old man you sometime think your moving up and you are really going down[ as you will find out John.] wait until all your escapades with booze, women , and lobbyists and there benefits for your favors will be brought up dozens ot times unti even the right wingers will see you for what you are.

at least McCain's not a racist.

Ed Schultz has a talk show?

Who is Ed Schultz and why do I care what he says?

Then Schultz needs to stop whinning when someone says anything negaitve about Obama. These left-wing radical liberals are the biggest whinners. I never realized the Democratic Party's left-wing were such a hateful group of people. I do not view the party favorable any longer. I am glad I switched to become an Independent. The left wing of democrats are fakes. My dad who was a loyal democrat all of his life, is turning over in his grave. Those left-wing, progressive activists are a mean, hateful, cruel and crude group of people. The Republicans look almost like angels compared to the democrats and how they talk ill about people.

well said

So the McCain camp is satisfied that Obama has "distanced himself" from this radio host? Say what?

When did it become required behavior of candidates to even comment on stuff said by people outside of their campaign? Is Obama's team supposed to scour the media for anything negative said about McCain and then "distance" themselves from it? Then sit around and wait for McCain to offer up his evaluaiton of their behavior as satisfactory or unsatisfactory?

So, is McCain going to formally "distance himself" from everything negative that's been said about Obama? (My guess: NO)

BTW, Schultz is right... McCain is a war monger.

Has Schultz ever been to war? McCain has been to war. McCain wanted a surge to end the war not to prolong it.
I am currently a Hillary supporter. But with people like Schultz supporting Obama, McCain will get my vote if Obama is the nominee.

He's right.

I agree with Shultz - if it looks like a duck and quack like a duck, then its a duck!!

Schultz, Limbaugh, and other extremist talk show hosts are to radio what "reality shows" are to television.

They offer mildly entertaining venues, but when push comes to shove, they offer no substance.

Ed Schultz ?? Does anyone know who this guy is ?? Who cares what he says.

Mr. Schultz, you are a smart man.

Obama Richardson 08!!!

In a political climate where the pro-war set continuously questions the patriotism of those who are anti-war, I don't see how it's inappropriate to refert to a pro-war candidate as a "war monger." Have we already forgotten his little song about going to war with Iran? Americans need to face up to the fact that a vote for McCain (whether you're a lifelong Republican or one of those Democrats who is going to defect if "their" candidate isn't the nominee) is a vote for indefinite war on innumerable unknown fronts.

Just the McTruth. As true as Hillary being a monster and a political prostitute (or the other version Randi Rhodes claimed so spot-on).

Well, the truth hurts. I haven't seen anything from McCain that would support him being anything other than a warmonger. I thought it was common knowledge at this point and beyond media coverage. If you're going to get on this guy for calling McCain a warmonger, get on Bill Maher. Get on almost every person who posts at CNN.com calling him McBush, McInsane, etc.

Desperation.

Pure and simple. The democrats are beginning their "McSame" "4 more years of Bush" campaign.

They can't come up with anything factual to run against McCain, so it's reduced to name-calling and slander.

Come on democrats. Can't you come up with something better?

I guess McCain doesn't read editorials about himself because Schultz didn't initiate calling McCain a warmongler, Americans did so why should he take it back.

There is so much whining in this campaign on all sides. Its a competition. Your enemies are going to say 'bad things' about you. If you don't like what they said, prove them wrong. If you can't prove them wrong. Get. Over. It.

I am sure this will be spun in the same genre as Rhodes' comments - however, Randi was speaking at a "company" function and Ed was speaking at a Democratic party event.

If its true that McCain sang... "bomb bomb bomb Iran" How could he not be a warmonger?

Yet another crazy Obama supporter – this is right up there with what Randi Rhodes said about Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro. Supporters like this speak volumes about what kind of man Obama really is – just look at what he attracts.

He may only tell a truth. Facts are sometimes not politically convenient and sweet. Should judging right and wrong be only based by politicaly correct or not ? Is this kind of conventional way of thinking.largely taken advantage of by may professional politicians?But if politician is too far from truth and phoney, and basically has no ability to handle true facts, it's a rotting start of a system.

I love hearing Ed Schultz talk. He tells it how it is. He's not afraid to speak his mind.

Everybody knows that Grandpa McCain is a war “Warmonger”, he knows it, the American public knows it, the world knows it. He has no platform to run on except that he is a decorated “Warmonger”. Why is he offended…..the truth always hurts. God save us if this guy ever becomes president, there is 100% chance McBush will pick a fight with Iran, no more wars please. 100 years in Iraq, are you kidding me…..what a nut case! A vote for McCain = Bush 3rd Term, America can not afford 4 more years of Bush.

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

another stupid liberal running his mouth; he needs to stick with his yacking on the air waves, and let the country decide who it should vote for; even the democratic candidates are not perfect, neither is McCain

WHAT ED SAID IS 100% RIGHT. HOW ELSE WOULD YOU DEFINE McCAIN? WHEN HE SINGS BOMB BOMB BOMB..........HE IS A WARMONGER THOUGH HE IS VETERAN AND A POLITICIAN.

"Bomb bomb bomb...bomb bomb Iran."

"Keep the troops in Iraq for 100 years if that's what it takes to defeat terror." (not direct quote, but close).

Come on, people. Name calling is generally bad, but McCain fits the bill on this one. You can't "defeat" terror any more than you can defeat drugs, murder, kidnapping, etc. It's a crime, not a state sponsored movement that can be crushed like a government. To stay until we defeat terror is to stay forever. This guy should be nowhere near the White House.

Use of the term "Warmonger" is appropriate in discribing Senator McCain look it up in the "DICTIONARY". Look it up in the dictionary Senator Obama.
From a democrat, from before you were born, Hillary in '08.

Are you old enough to remember General McCarther's key note adress to
the republican convention when he labled the democratic party "The war
party?" At the time, I agreed with him. I agreed not because I am a republican, but because up to that time every war we had came while a democrat was in office.It took two republicans, Eisenhower and Nixon to get us out of two more wars started with a democrat in office.
That was then. This is now.
I do not think it is fair to call the republican party a war party, but it is fair to call Bush a war lord! Any one who believes the war in Irak was justified.
must share the same twisted mentality.

The thing is, this is probably a small minded person's comment,
Barrack's.

Poor John, need the bushies to get elected and
It is so true McCain is a warmonger. Always has been, even now backs Bush on water boarding.
He is to old to be president, gets so confused and it SHOWS!

Ed, I respect you and the first amendment. There are a lot of folks out here that feel the same way you do. Thanks for putting the words out there for us. Sometimes the kitchen can get pretty hot. Why aren't some of these other radio personalities getting called out for saying much worse????

so he spoke his mind. Thousands of voters think the same and I know that upsets John but thats life.
You don't like war john but you are supporting it. We were not invaded but attaked. We invaded and they are responding as we would in the same position. Its thier country and they are invaded the same as when Russia went into Afganistan. We only boycotted the olympics and sold arms to the poeple were fighting now
What goes around comes around.
Why would enyone want USA style elections when we screw ours up like were doing. Time to set the alarm

Being a WarMonger is the lonely way he can get elected! Case in point Bush 2004... Scare the American people to vote for the protection of the Mighty GOP! What a JOKE! What the American people should be afraid of, his having a President with a Anger problem! Keep the football away from him before he starts a Nuclear War because he doesn't like the way the Iran government doesn't respect him or because the Chinese isn't afraid of him or because he thinks Al Queda is being back by Some Irrational Islamic Government! Hold on to your hats folks if this WarMonger aka J Mac gets elected..

"Obama campaign distanced itself" why would Obama distance himself – what is he hiding? Of course he has a free media ride so we will never know....

But someone within 10 miles of Hillary coughs and she is horrible.

Mccain is warmonger he's just like Bush. Who needs another 4 yrs of that crap. Please America don't be fooled.

I AM A DEM....and I DENOUNCE SHULTZ (and I will NO LONGER listen to his show or Air America)....

AIR AMERICA IS A JOKE – they are swiftboating Clinton....
AIR AMERICA IS NOT DEMOCRATIC.....they are a bunch of jealous, wanna-be reporters...and all in the tank with Obama.

Shultz, Rhodes, or Miller have all lost me.....

HILLARY 2008 !!!!

A talk show host that speaks the truth.. wow maybe he can give lessons to Rush Limbaugh and he could start talking truth for a change.. but more than likely he will be lamblasted for talking agianst a "Patriotic American" too bad

It's true; there's nothing people hate to hear more than the truth.

No Ed, there is a question about that; he is not a war mongerer, he just supports a war. He talks about how terrible war is, his sons fight in Iraq, he was tortured in a war, the man hates war. That doesn't change the fact that sometimes we find war necessary when all other options have failed. You can disagree with his position but don't smear his name. You sir are a hate mongerer.

Yeah so Obama and Clinton are too busy sniping eachother down to take McCain on directly so they get these no name, nobody, liberal attack dogs to go after him for them.

I still think it's interesting that when he denounced comments about Obama, McCain wasted no time distancing himself personally from the comments but when faced with the same situation Obama took 24 hours and used a spokesperson to distance himself.

Scary times we live in...when a pundit can't express a personal opinion about a government official without fear of backlash, or being branded "unpatriotic."

We're inching closer to fascism every day.

A Warmonger is as a Warmonger does. If the shoe fits......

A Senator that DOES NOT understand the difference (in lost military lives and Treasury expenditure) between remaining 50 (or 100 years) in IRAQ as compared with a similar period spent by U.S. Forces in Japan or S. Korea or Germany, is NOT FIT for any office at the White House.

Schultz is an idiot....I am one Dem who will never listen to his radio broadcast. If I were running for elective office, I would not want him to represent me.

i agree he is a war monger

If McCain isn't a warmonger, I don't know what is.

Very good work, Mr. Schultz, thanks for not backing down under pressure from the Republican thugs.

If the definition fits, it should be pinned onto the one who fits it. And John McCain fits the definition of a warmonger- one who promotes and encourages war.

Ed's right. All that McCain runs on is his tired claim to fame as being strong on defense. I guess that means war, war, and more war. Remember "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"? Maybe he thinks that war is good for the economy so keep the war going because it will solve the country's economic problems. Boy, what an idiot!

Roger

Schultz is an idiot.

I think Schultz is right,McCain is a warmonger.

So some liberal labelled McCain a warmonger. Big deal. Liberals are always saying that about Republicans, and worse.

The basic philisophical difference with respect to security in this country between Dems and Reps is the fact that Reps take an offensive approach (which is construed as warmongering) and the Dems take a defensive approach. Both approaches have their pros and cons, and I wouldn't say one approach is definitively right or wrong, but I think offense is the best defense sometimes.

What is all the fuss about?? McCain is a warmonger and it is about time that everyone faced the facts in all of this, instead of sticking there heads into a bucket of sand!!!! Who in there right mind wants our troops in Iraq for 100 years and is apparently looking for an agrument with Iran as well?? Get real folks!!!!

It is about time that the media and others started to tell it as it is, not bending issues to meet someone's wants or needs.

Good. About time and I will start to listen to this guy on the radio too!!

I think war ia a way of life for the McCain family. This has nothing to do with is character but everything to do with his ideology.

This smells of bias from Sen Obama.
He certainly has quickened his response in comparison to the length of time he took to skirt the Wright controversy. Here is the basis of his first book's message come to life.

Ed Schultz does NOT speak for Obama nor is his opinion of Senator McCain as a "warmonger" resonate with Obama's campaigners.

Another radical liberal for Obama, Just say no to Obama!!!!

You hit the nail on the head, Ed.. If McCain isn't a War Monger, the sun won't come up tomorrow either..

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

The comment by Schultz really should have been: SENILE, CRAZY WARMONGER!

Even in McShane's Vietnam years he simply couldn't find enough targets and people to destroy...

and I guess you support Rev Wrigt comments as well as Moveon.org. – believe in America and the good it has to offer the world for once.

What's the matter John, can't handle a little "straight talk"?

What a joke this guy is! Nothing but a big mouth bleeding heart liberal. He's just as bad as Rush Limbaugh, they're just on opposite teams.

Schultz isn't supporting Hillary Clinton because she's not liberal enough for him.

"Labeling a candidate is not being disrespectful", eh? Hmmm, Mr Schultz, you are a sexist fool and an Obama apologist who has turned this one listener off from Air America for good from all of your Hillary bashing and distortions. I label your candidate as a weak leader and a packaged media creation. Not that I'm being disrespectful or anything...

I cant disagree with what Mr Schultz said. Look at McCain's platform and see if you find any fault in Mr Schultz statements. McCain want to stay in Iraq and expand the war to Iran at the drop of a hat. He "is" a warmonger and a scary one at that.

Preach on Brother Schultz! Preach on!

Republicans are warmongers, period, so McCain fits the bill.

Um, yeah.....tell us something we don't already know.

Ed Shultz is absolutely right!

McCain is a warmonger. He would stay in Iraq 100 years (100 years, of a peaceful occupation, yeah, right). He doesn't have any foreign policy knowledge or experience, case in point, his recent visit to the Middle East.

Well, Let's see maybe he said it because ,,,HE IS !!!!!

END THE WAR !!!!!

Way to go Ed!

He's right. John McCain is in heaven and is chomping at the bit to enter another war. Also, I hate that he used my tax dollars to go overseas to take photos for his stupid campaign.

Obama can't say it, but we all know it.

I CAN SAY IT LOUD AND CLEAR: McBUSH IS A WARMONGER!!!!

QUOTE ME!!!!

Schultz is another one of those liberal left wing nuts, who along with the other one who just at a meeting called Hillary and Geraldine a obscene name, and was suspended by Air America. Twenty eight percent of the Clinton voters (recent poll) stated that they would not vote for Obama, if he is so lucky to win the nomination, in the general election. Couple this up with the Rev. Wright's anti white and anti America comments and Obama poor judgement in handling this matter, he is a sure loser in the fall. He will lose all the southern states, the border states, all the normal red states and one or all of the following, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He has already 'blown off" Florida and Michigan.

Obama better keep his main attack on Hillary and worry about Mccain later. I know ,Schultz said it not Obama, but all his staff did was distance itself from the comment, funny, Obama is always distancing from things, but,, never does he condemn anything.
He better start standing for something, instead of being twofaced on everything.
Farrakhan, Rev Wright, Rezko and now letting this go without taking a bold stance.
Look at him talk about gun control, he can talk for 15 minutes on it and take no definable stance. About every issue he addresses is the same, everything cafefully worded so he can go either way if needed.
So if you really look, He is just another smooth talking politician.

Typical Air (scare) America liberal host. He was taught well by Rhandi Rhoades and Stewart Smalley.

That wasn't nice. Now let's move on.

may not like Schultz but he's not wrong on this one.

PEOPLE CAN SAY WHAT EVER THEY WANT!!!!!!!

LOOK AT EVERY THING THEY SAY ABOUT HILLARY!!!!!

THE FACT IS HILLARY WILL BEAT McCAIN !OBAMA WILL NOT! THERE IS TO MUCH DIRT OUT THERE!!!!!!!!

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!!!!!!

HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!2009.

Ed Schultz just got a lot of free publicity for his liberal talk radio show. The more controversy he stirs up the more free publicity he receives.

It won't even matter who he chooses to be V.P. If he chooses Rice,
He will make the decisions. He will be the POWER MONGREL BIG
WiG. Rice won't have too much to say to this explosive tempered,
hot head. HE WILL BE THE DECIDER.

Obama 2008

amen to your honesty bro. he is a warmonger and will lead to the economic down fall of the U.S to a third world nation.

well! no one can't deny he's not.that's all mc cain talks about.to me that is scary.for someone looking to be president

I love this guy

Why should Obama apolize for a liberal making a statement agains McCain. He is not in his campaign and can say what he chooses. I think the word warmonger is used to say how McCain has expressed his view on extending the war until everyone there is dead and more go and die and all he can say is we won, in which the American people know we haven't because we have so many dead solider. McCain help stop the war instead of insisting that we keep it going any longer.

YES OF COURSE OBAMA WANTS TO APPEAR TO BE A NICE GUY!!!!!

HE IS SPENDING MILLIONS TO DISCREDIT HILLARY!!!!!!!

DO NOT LET IT WORK PEOPLE!!!!!!!

JUST BECAUSE HE HAS MILLIONS TO RUN ADS IN PENN AND EVERY WHERE ELSE DOES NOT MAKE HIM THE RIGHT CANDIDATE!!!!

LOOK AT HIS PAST-WHAT HAS HE DONE?

WHAT ABOUT THE NAFTA LIE AND REVEREND WRIGHT?

HE HAS BAD FRIENDSHIPS AND POOR JUDGMENT!!!!

NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL!!!!!

HE WILL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

THE GOP HAVE PLENTY TO WORK WITH!

THEY HAVE NOTHING ON HILLARY!!!!!!

IF THEY DID YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!1 2009!!!!!

Ed and Randi are the most disgusting people in the world. Everything I disliked about the Right wing is showing up with the NUT JOB's on the left.

Schultz I agree with you 110% McCain and Bush are both warmongers please understand where the Obama campaign has to come from on this with the media. McCain wants to be in Iraq for 100 years he claims to be for vets but his voting record says other. Gee people just need to do some research on McCain who has been given a free ride in the media so far.

There are a few clips from I saw on msnbc where McCain starts ranting about "there will be wars and more wars; we have to get them before they get us, etc."

Joe Scarborough even asked "what's wrong with him and what's that all about." That was during the time Romney was running against McCain and Joe Scarborough wanted Romney to win.
I am sure somebody can find it and put it on You Tube.

I don't watch Morning Joe because he is such a biased Republican.
I hope others will join me in not watching that partisan Republican.

Just another reason why I will be voting for McCain over Obama this election. I thought Obama wanted to bring about change, but then he allows his supporters to say things like this.... McCain may be for the war in Iraq, but that does not make him a warmonger.... Hitler was a warmonger.

How true. McCain is a warmonger. Don't know if he knows how to be any other way. Scary part for me is the warmonger with a very bad temper and prone to 'senior' moments. Not a good combination.

I see the Obama campaign has all their surrogates doing the dirty work so they can keep their hands clean. When is the Golden Boy Obama going to go to Iraq, maybe thats the question Schultz should be asking vs. tearing down a decorated war veteran.

The polls showed Obama with a 12 point lead in NH, WRONG.
The polls Showed Obama tightens race in California, WRONG.
The polls showed Obama tightens race in Texas, WRONG.
Now the polls show Obama tightens race in PA, do we really need to answer this one?
PA will show Obama's problems, Wright , Rezko. Hillary will get the popular vote and win the nom.

Schultz has every right to call McCain a warmonger, just as I have every right to call Schultz a naive and ignorant socialist idiot.

Tell it like it is, Big Eddie!

...how can anyone possibly deny the fact that McCain is a warmonger?

war·mon·ger – noun, a person who advocates, endorses, or tries to precipitate war.

"bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran..." McCain

Need I say more?

Well I have to admit! Schultz has been right for a while now! He was the FIRST to say that Hillary's campaign is over....

right on mr. schultz. according to my dic. def. he is a monger and
for the war

Another good reason–reasonable people should just start their own party.

There is so much polarization between the candidates and especially the pop-culture opinionates supporting them–even human decency and good manners have somehow gone out of style.

We need a revolution of ideas–that don't involve global projection or socialism.

The Libertarian Party-the other party–the best hope for change we need.

Ed Schultz is correct and I applaud him for not backing down. If the shoe fits wear it. And McCain's shoe size isn't going to change. He wears the same size as George Bush and Dick Cheney. If they had their way, we'd have hit Iran months ago.

Wait a second, I didn't hear Obama personally come out and reject Schultz's comments.....

As an undecided Democrat, I would hope that Obama would show strength of character that he talks about on the campaign trail and personally reject these comments

He is

Why should Schultz apologize for anything he says when there is an entire right-wing echo chamber spreading lies and hate about Obama and Clinton every day on their radio shows and on FOX news?
Why aren' t they being taken to task?
Bomb, bomb McBush IS a warmonger. He cannot wait to invade Iran if he is elected.

The truth hurts!!!

This man is right!!!

McCain is a war president...should America vote for him get ready for a draft, an Iraq war for four more years, America's dipolmacy and foreign policy a disaster.

No to John McWar!!

he is right and i guess people hate you when you tell the truth.
