McCain Sings: 'Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran'

[Moloch]

The GEORGETOWN TIMES reports:

At the campaign rally, McCain was asked if an attack on Iran is in the works.

McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song.

“Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann.

McCain is a dangerous lunatic.

1. If the report is true, I agree. IF

McCain visits Murrells Inlet

By Scott Harper, [e-mail] April 19, 2007

~snip~
Another man — wondering if an attack on Iran is in the works — wanted to know when America is going to “send an air mail message to Tehran.”
McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song.
“Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann. “Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That alone should concern us but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.”
He stopped short of answering the actual question and did not say if he supports an invasion of Iran.
A woman in the audience said she has been disappointed President Bush has not spent more time addressing the American people about the issues. She asked McCain if he would be more accessible.
“If I am elected I will go on TV every two weeks, even if it’s only carried by C-SPAN, and detail what is going on in Iraq and with other issues,” he said.
One man then asked if McCain is elected, will he try to get Don Imus back on the radio.
“I knew I should have ended this before now,” McCain joked.
He never said if he felt CBS Radio did the right thing by firing the talk show host for making racist and sexist remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. After the controversy erupted McCain had said he would still be a guest on the show if invited.
“What he did was unacceptable and despicable but I believe in redemption,” he said.

What a colossal asshole.

[Demeter]

39. I Saw a Video Clip after this

Since I don't know what McCain sounds or looks like and the clip was blurry, I'll have to take their word for it.

[DixieBlue]

40. He's lost his ever lovin' mind.

All that koolaid, I think.

[uppityperson]

41. Watch him here on youtube, link here

[jazzjunkysue]

60. I saw it myself on Hairball. It's true. Yep. Great voice.

I hear they sing alot in jail.

[fryguy]

2. is this a joke?

please god tell me it is. knew he was off his rocker, but WOW.

[genieroze]

38. Nope no joke. Out of the mouth of a imbecile

51. McCain is a major whackjob-take him home, Cindy

[sabra]

3. just say no to "Drudge" !

[sabra]

5. though it looks like it's true...

[Moloch]

8. Er.. I like the format on Drudge.. I don't pay much attention to..

his exclusives BUT I don't see how he would make a false story about a Republican, given his well-known biases.

[calimary]

29. I wish we could. I made a most distressing discovery a few years ago

when I was going to be a guest on a local TV news show. I was hanging around in the newsroom (a BIG local newsroom here in L.A. - KNBC, Channel 4) waiting to set up for my segment. I happened to stroll around the room there to see if there was anybody I recognized from an earlier job in the same building. MANY of the monitors on people's workstations had drudge on them. These were writers and editors and researchers. If THEY read drudge (and that's not just local NBC people, either), you know that shit is seeping into the mindsets of most of the information brokers to the American public.

As I said, MOST distressing.

I had a friend on the radio at ABC once who said, flat-out to my face, "hey, I don't have a problem with putting rumors on the air." Shortly after he made a smart remark about the Air Florida plane crash on the air, he was fired. I thought that would be the end of it, because he was just one guy. Evidently, thanks to people like drudge, it's the rule now.

:(

4. Here is video

The man is an idiot.

[fryguy]

9. the truly scary thing is that it probably played well with the audience - n/t

[yellowcanine]

22. According to a McCain aide the crowd "reacted with laughter."

"One McCain aide who attended the event said McCain was adding a little levity to the discussion and the crowd reacted with laughter."

[wicket]

23. Jesus christ!

:grr: :grr:

[ronnykmarshall]

32. So are some of the comments on Youtube.

I see that's where all the idiots that used to post on Yahoo message boards went.

[xultar]

6. OK. Apparently McCain has missed check in @ Shady Acres Mental Health Facility.

[nolabels]

7. Even us already slightly loony people can recognize the lunacy in McCain

The dude really must be desperate

[saltpoint]

10. McCain is evidently pandering to a demographic that won't see what

all the fuss is about, a voting block that considers anyone in the Middle East to be "A-rab terrorists." Nevermind that Iran is a complex, beautifully ancient country with HUMAN BEINGS in it.

A witty ditty doesn't a foreign policy make. McCain should apologize.

[ryanmuegge]

11. Stick a fork in this guy. That's going to do him in as a candidate.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

12. That's pretty funny, there, John...

Be funny too if one of the Navy pilots got shot down and spent five years as a POW. That'd be pretty friggin' funny, huh?

It's hard to believe that at one time in his career, people actually admired this douche bag.

[KamaAina]

56. Hey, just a doggone minute pal! Watch what you're saying!

"douchebag" is one word :P

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

61. I wondered about that as I was typing

But, oddly enough, the DU Spell Checker did not offer any alternatives. I will assume that you are correct on this issue.

I yield to your superior knowledge of douchery...

[Bigmack]

13. Will we hear any more about this? ....

Nope... It'll just disappear.

[Justyce]

15. No, it's not like he got an expensive haircut or anything...

[tabasco]

47. Boggles the mind, the double standards.

How many times did we hear the "Dean scream?"

[Theres-a]

14. #$@%^&*!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tekla West]

16. well that's all folks!

John gets the first 'toastman' of the year, he is done.

[kineneb]

17. OK for Capitol Steps, not OK for McCain

The Capitol Steps perform musical satire. McCain is nuts.

[Connie_Corleone]

18. WTF??

McCain is toast.

[shanti]

20. got jokes, huh?

:( sick man!

[yellowcanine]

21. "One McCain aide who attended the event said McCain was adding a little levity to the discussion."

Such a funny guy that McCain! Some joke. Is it just me or is McCain morphing into "The Decider?"

[nitestar41]

24. I really am starting to wonder....

Perhaps McCain has Dementia or Alzheimer's and just hasn't been diagnosed. I've experienced close family with Dementia in the early stages weird things happen and weirder things get said. After all it was only a few years ago he actually seemed to be sort of on the ball and lately he just seems to be descending into oblivion.

Hard to believe but here's the article that has the quote...

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18230309&BRD=2081&PAG=461&dept_id=385210&rfi=6

It would be rather scary if by some strange twist of fate he wound up being president after Bush... we'd be trading one loon for another.

[calimary]

35. Welcome to DU! Yeah, no kidding. We were talking about that just

a few minutes ago here. My husband just shook his head in disgust. "An 80-year-old man trying to act like a buckaroo..." I, too, think mccain's glory days are fading farther and farther behind him. He should have quit while he was ahead. He'd be respected far more and he'd like the looks of his legacy much more, also.

Unfortunately, there will be plenty of yahoos who WILL find this just ever-so-funny and just-completely-adorable. But he's going down. He's farther down the totem pole than he probably wants to believe in terms of following and funding. He is probably finished, career-wise. I'd be surprised if he lasted beyond this term in the Senate. His only hope is if cheney's IMPEACHED AND REMOVED, and bush somehow thinks it'd be some sort of shrewd strategery to appoint him as VP. Might be a clever move to somehow endow mccain with "incumbent" status-once-removed like that, especially as a reward for being such a toady on the last presidential campaign. But I doubt they'd do that. No way they'd want to take another republi-CON out of the Senate. Besides, that would make their good pal lieberman a non-issue and turn an ally into a eunuch. Fun to think about, though.

[Maraya1969]

25. There is something seriously wrong with a person who jokes about killing people eom

[SpeedwayDemocrat]

26. RIPOFF! He can't even come up with an original thought!

The actual parody was done back in the early 1980's, and I have the 45 record to prove it!
Geesh - this guy is seriously ill; too bad he and his buddies have already destroyed the mental health system for war vets, as this guy should be hospitalized ASAP!

[OnyxCollie]

27. Scary.

Appealing to the lowest common denominator, it seems.

[AlCzervik]

28. set the way back machine to 1979, i remember that clearly from middle school.

[TwilightGardener]

30. Yep--you and I must be about the same vintage. Still, it shows

poor judgment to try to make light of world tensions. Things like this just aren't funny anymore. He's going DOWN.

[AlCzervik]

31. wait, next he'll go home and pull his "Ayatollah Assahola" tshirt out.

[TwilightGardener]

42. LOL! Good one!

[mikeytherat]

48. But Khomeini has been dead for years!

"It works on any Ayatollah! Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi... Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!" - Homer Simpson, on his Ayatollah Assahola T-shirt

mikey_the_rat

[Moloch]

49. hahahaha

I think that's in the same episode where Homer beats up George Bush (the first one).. I'll have to watch that tonight its one of the best Simpsons episodes.

[mikeytherat]

62. "Two Bad Neighbors" - a most excellent Simpsons episode!

"Dad, I think we're experiencing some blowback from the wig offensive."

[Sequoia]

33. I've decided that he, the Prez, the VP, Gonzo and the whole lot

are results of body snatching. Somewhere sometime the evil one took over and any compassion or love they might have had in their hearts were snuffed out pronto.

[go west young man]

34. Looks like the time spent in prison with the Vietcong has fried his brain.

[Ganja Ninja]

36. You mean Rove was right when he pinned the unbalanced ...

tag on him?

[uppityperson]

37. Youtube has it up already. It's true and you can see it. Link here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zoPgv_nYg
Got the link from google search which led me to FOX report with it. Golly gee, thanks FOX!

[davhill]

43. I think his mind snapped years ago

Probably in 2000 when he was swiftboated by Rove.

[DemGa]

44. McCain is such a "straight shootin' Maverick"

[anotherdrew]

45. the singing happy loser has lost his meds, someone help this poor man retire n/t

[anotherdrew]

46. just for the record, he is referencing an old novelty song from the hostage crisis era i think n/t

[Frank Cannon]

59. Indeed he is. Fall of 1979, I believe.

By Vince Vance and the Valiants.

[Doctor_J]

50. He is starting to resemble Gen. Bartford Hamilton Steele

Harry Morgan's pre-Potter role on M*A*S*H - the MP's carted him off while he sang "Beat your feet on the Mississippi mud".

I repeat my comment after his Baghdad shopping trip - is McCain trying to get out of the balance of his term on a Section 8?

[Disturbed]

52. Killing people is real funny.

McLame is a jerk.

[Sabriel]

53. Every bit as knee-slapping as Reagan's radio voice test humor

"I've just signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

Look for a sample of McCain coming soon to a remix near you.

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

54. When you have the power to kill millions of people

darn it, sometimes you just gotta laugh about it.

[earth mom]

57. OMFG.

:puke:

58. say hi to john at //www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

John is a war hero. He is Ronald Reagan Republican,
this is just the part where the Alzheimers kicks in.
John is now one of those few lucky people who can hide their own easter eggs.

If you disagree with john, I am certain he would like to hear from you. His mind is open, and he can't get up.

Please send him your opinion at:

http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

If you do not know the appropriate SUBJECT, I usually send the same letter to each and every subject--- it is easy if you use the BACK ARROW. That way you will know that your opinion has gotten through.

[tidy_bowl]

63. What an idiot. n/t

[slackmaster]

64. He's toast - NEXT!

:nuke:

[triguy46]

65. He seems unable to not harm himself...

He's done.

[derby378]

66. Independent confirmation, anyone?

If this can be verified by a reputable source, McCain is toast.

[lligrd]

67. It Was On You Tube

It is true. You Tube has already had to pull it. I wonder why that would be...

[derby378]

69. Thanks - just saw it on Keith Olbermann

:wtf:

[nofoil]

68. Early Alzheimers?

His behavior as of late has been so bizarre. I'm just wondering if he's developing early Alzheimers or a similar ailment. Seriously. This is not normal.

[rucky]

70. He's just pandering to the buffoon-loving crowd. n/t
