McCain Cracks Another Joke About Killing Iranians (VIDEO)

The Washington Post reports:

Sen. John McCain hasn't had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.

Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to
Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe thats a way of killing them."

He quickly caught himself, saying "I meant that as a joke" as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.

Last time, it was also Iran. His singing about bombing Iran to the theme of the Beach Boy' "Barbara Ann" drew derision from many quarters but a "lighten up" response from McCain

Here's video:

) “I came so you’ll have peace.” Our Lord says. I came so you can have wars and more wars. So says McCain and Lieberman.

8) I can’t understand how a parent can use the words, “killing others,” as a joke. Senator McCain does.

9) Sen. Barack Obama applies common sense to how to end the stupid war in Iraq; and war mongers call him a flip flopper. That’s foolish. Of course, you can’t expect better from these irresponsibles.

10) Yes Sen. Obama, use your common sense, you ever ready good judgments, yes, flip flop for life! Let Sen. McCain stay the course of wanton destruction of lives and reckless waste of resources.

11) “Yes, there’s calm in Iraq,” they claim. After over 5 years of killing and destruction, then we have the peace of the grave yard. It’s this type of calm that McCain calls success. It’s a shame.

12) When will Sen. McCain take a break from war addiction and talk about surge in sound education for our children, surge in insuring all without insurance. Surge in peace for all?

13) How can Sen. McCain bring sanity to Washington with his Keating 5 scandal all over him?

14) Yes, it’s common sense Sen. Obama for you to opt out from the public funding of your campaign. “Yes we commoners can help you. Your presidency is calling for a change we can all believe in. God is with you.

) In 2006, Americans voted for the Iraq war to end. Senator McBush says, “No, I know when to end it.” Today Maliki, the Iraq Prime Minister, rightly wants a time table for America to end the occupation of his nation. Senator McBush says, “No.” If the war or occupation ends, what will McBush be running on for the presidency? You guessed it—nothing.

2) War is hate; it’s a reckless destruction of others’ lives, cultures, beliefs and peace. No one can justify going to war instead of negotiations. That includes Senator McBush and Lieberman.

3) The logical choice for vice president for Sen. McBush is Sen. Lieberman. He loves wars like him. He’s also a Republican, an independent and a democrat.

4) “Do unto others what you’ll like others to do unto you.” You can’t vote to kill others’ parents, children, husbands and wives and love your own.

5) Maliki of Iraq wants some time table to end a war that has cost thousands of lives and sunk billions of treasures. That’s clear enough. But Sen. McCain wants to explain to the world what Maliki means. It’s a disgrace.

6) “Love your neighbor as yourself.” That’s the Golden Rule. Not for Senator McCain, sending cigarettes to Iranians is another, “way to kill them all.” This for him is a joke!

McCain has Phil Gramm to think of and how everything he says raises Oil Futures prices and makes life harder for the average American..that's what McCain's all about that big Oil and corporate power and killing off the kids of the middle class and poor in his fetish for starting Wars...

[Goldie9]

For someone who came so close to being killed by our enemy himself, McBush certainly is cavalier about respecting others' lives -- just because someone is born and lives in Iran, McBush automatically thinks they're "the enemy" and less than human.

My mom died of lung cancer and it was absolutely horrible, so someone making jokes about people dying as a result of smoking is especially offensive to me. McCain is a pathetic excuse for a human being.

[in4success]

he's a gross human being... obviously suffering from severe PTSD and psych issues -- we just had eight years of "he tried to kill my daddy" - now you idiots want 4 or eight more of "i'll get even with charlie!!!!!!!!!!!"

classy, mature, prophetic -- just what amerika and the world needs...

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[margotb822]

Has anyone read the book The X President? It exponds on the theme of American cigarette sales/advertising in foregin countries and the future consequences.

It creeps me out that McCain would even say this...

[eahce]

This pathetic excuse of a human is the best the republicans can offer to lead our nation? It just goes to show how far this country has fallen, doesn't give me much hope for america's future.

Killing people, either through selfish and greedy policy decisions or by the direct use of weapons, is all republicans know.

[easyrider1969]

All joking aside, a cardinal symptom of Alzheimer's is blurting out unfiltered verbal comments w/o considering their effect on the listener.
I know how well my brain "ain't what it used to be", and I'm a lot younger that this pre-Elvis generation McBush.

[LintLass]

Hey, nostalgia for Reagan is popular, these days.

[NoFactsJustTruth]

So, how good's your diplomacy going to be when it starts by wishing those you should talk to - all just die?

What an ultra maroon...

[ComnCents]

Blinky will pick a running mate from Wisconsin.
They will label it the ‘Mac and Cheese’ ticket.
R top advisors think it will appeal to young voters.

[escobar]

John has dwelt upon killing people since was a little boy.
I wish he could explain why we would want to see any Iranians dead.
How is killing innocent people suposed to be funny?
I guess he had a few good laughs on the carrier, until he got his turn to pay the piper.
The man is bloodthirsty.

[Cowtippin]

Ops there goes another rubber tree plant named McBush. This guy will pander to a crowd like a bad stand up comic. For any man to say such hateful things about the people of Iran should be ashamed of himself. At lease Obama has the sense to spread in pander and not suck up to the far left base. Oh but wait a minute he's been to Iraq 6 times. So what, It's not like he was handed some body armour and an M16. All this clown did was tour the green zone and shake some hands. Yeah what a hero. So don't be fooled by a fool.

[robynuva]

When will the MSM begin to questions this guy mental fitness to be president? At what point is it a patriotic duty?

Oh, I forgot, they are business men, not patriots.

[in4success]

THEY ARE ACTUALLY THE ENEMY WITHIN! ---all this iran/iraq is more power grab....

time to clean house -- use our second amendment rights to protect ourselves from a tyrannous gov't

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!~
