Ed Schultz calls McCain a WARMONGER. McCain wants the comment condemned

[Matariki]

When you call for a 100 years of war, you've earned the moniker fool. If it quacks like a duck, etc.

<snip>
John McCain’s campaign officials are calling on Barack Obama to condemn remarks made by an introductory speaker who called McCain “a warmonger” at a North Dakota campaign stop Friday.

Local liberal talk show host Ed Schultz used the term to describe the Arizona senator while warming up the crowd in Grand Forks, N.D., before Obama’s arrival at the state’s Democratic convention.

The McCain campaign likens the insult to the language used by conservative radio talk show host Bill Cunningham, who rallied the crowd for McCain in Cincinnati, Ohio, in late February by repeatedly invoking Obama’s middle name, “Hussein,” mocking him as a “hack” and suggesting that as president he’d cozy up to Hezbollah and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. McCain condemned Cunningham, prompting a fierce response from the talk show host.

1. I wish Obama would stop getting roasted for the words of his supporters who

excel at stating the obvious.

[PA Democrat]

2. Cue McCain's great hit "Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran"

Methinks the warmonger doth protest too much.

3. McCain should distance himself from Lieberman

....if he doesnt like being called a warmonger.

Its the company you keep John.

[Matariki]

5. Heh. Ironic isn't it?

Someone should call McCain a 'torture-monger' so we can really watch him lose it.

[DJ13]

7. I think thats in the cards in the GE

Its going to be great fun watching the Obama surrogettes repeatedly triggering McCain's well known temper.

He's going to have a rough election!

[crikkett]

14. John McCain shouldn't flip-flop on torture

if he doesn't want to be seen as a warmonger

[FreakinDJ]

4. Right after they condem 99% of the Crap Rush Limpdick says

Get a clue "Hate-monger" your media shil started the crap.

Ed pails by comparison

[lpbk2713]

6. Damn, Mac, you retired from the military.

You personally fired rockets and dropped bombs on people.

Do you really think you should be called a Flower Child?

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. How dare Ed Schultz attack "a very close friend" McCain?

John McCain, "who is on the right side opposing torture", a "moderate", and "one of the
two candidates, that love this country"? "The general election race is likely to be a love-fest"
without this kind of talk from Ed Schultz.



:sarcasm: :rofl:

[lligrd]

9. Wow McCain, Do You Not Recognize The Warmonger Staring

at you from the other side of the mirror?

[Matariki]

10. I realized after posting that the link is from Fox News

It was on the main google news page. But a quick search shows that it's only Faux pushing this (so far). Isn't that a surprise?

[annabanana]

11. Shultz is right, of course. (McCain better watch that THIN SKIN of his.)

I am looking forward to seeing him really really lose it. You just know it's only a matter of time.

[Matariki]

12. Yeah, THAT'S going to be funny to watch

- unless of course we have to watch *President McCain* lose it.

[blondeatlast]

13. Good for Schulz for telling it like it is--and he's hardly a "local," either.

If it's running for "Commander in Chief" (as one of his ads claims) and advocates for 100 years of occupation in Iraq--help me out--why should Schulz's remarks be condemned? Isn't that just what they want? I'm confused.

I think I lack the "poor, persecuted RW" gene...

[LTR]

15. ROFL!

Thanks for the find. I added it to my blog:

And leave it to FAUX to forward this ridiculous meme.

[Matariki]

34. Hey, nice blog. Great article.

bookmarking ;-)

[Quantess]

16. He's flip-flopping.

[superkia]

17. I hope Obama doesnt condemn or even acknowledge McCains...

request.

[SoCalDem]

19. All he has to do is to say.."in MY opinion", McCain is a warmonger

after all, the radio-pundits all identify themselves as "entertainers"...and never claim to be anyone who can dictate policy..:) Mccain's got nothing to go on...

[Sanity Claws]

20. I think this is giving this statement more life

Most people would agree with this statement. Not very bright, John McSame.

[Kool Kitty]

21. Well, he IS a warmonger.

Does this mean Ed's going to get pulled off the air, too? McCain made that shitty joke about Chelsea, sang the "Bomb Iran" song, didn't reprimand that woman when she called Hillary a bitch, and now he's whining about someone calling him, "Mr. All-Balls, No Quit" a name? Never heard of any apologies from him for any of the lousy stuff he says.

[samsingh]

22. mccain needs to keep getting comdemned

we need a table that shows what Mccain said


before then now

his flip flops and lies need to be posted everyone.

[butterfly77]

23. Got the video of Shultz

[bluestateguy]

24. Everyday someone is demanding that someone apologize for something someone has said

We have become a nation of crybabies.

[Usrename]

25. C'mon John, you're either for the war or against it.

:rofl:

[Junkdrawer]

26. Maybe they'll just suspend him for a while...

or I guess he could be fired...

[Elspeth]

27. Would have been better for McCain if Schultz had called him a "bitch"

especially in a small, semi-private comedy performance. Then Schultz could join Randi Rhodes on the breadline

[eleny]

28. I'd rather McCain "condemn" war

[Matariki]

35. Excellent response - you should send it to Obama's campaign. n/t

[kevinbgoode]

29. I thought conservatives viewed being called "warmonger" a compliment

The man has just spent the last couple of weeks running around the country visiting every military school and base he ever attended. . .and before that, he made his eighth trip to Iraq. Hell yes, he's a warmonger. . .his entire career training is military, and war is what they are trained for, isn't it?

[ColbertWatcher]

30. Tell him it will be condemned in 100 years. n/t

[LeftishBrit]

31. OK then, just call him a Republican. It means the same thing.

[undeterred]

32. I thought THEY considered WARMONGER a compliment.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. PATTERN... if we are politicos you cannot say anything good or bad about us

by the way the radio host that introduced McCain used racist language, and to his credit he disavowed him

But this is a problem... IF WE ARE IN POWER SHUT THE YOU KNOW WHAT OFF!

[chknltl]

36. Schultz has been focusing on Senator McCain for the last few weeks

He has stopped worrying over Obama v Clinton and taken on McCain. He has used McCain's own record and McCain's own words to show America exactly the person McCain is. He has made the case that McCain has a bad temper, one that is out of control and quite dangerous. His listeners have been calling in in droves thanking him for doing this. I am an avid listener to progressive radio who feels that nobody else is 'gettin' 'er done' as Big Eddie has over these past few weeks! I love Hartman, Maddow, Rhodes, and Malloy but if I had to pick just one who is getting the message out that needs getting out, it would be The Ed Shultz Show. Call him what you like, I'll call him what he is: an American Patriot!
