MCCAIN SINGS: 'BOMB BOMB BOMB, BOMB BOMB IRAN'

Sen. John McCain brought his "Straight Talk" tour to South Carolina Wednesday morning.

The presidential hopeful spent 90 minutes talking to nearly 500 people who crammed into the Murrells Inlet VFW Hall.

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

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.






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

McCain went on to discuss the seriousness of the issue, saying he supports the President, and he will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.
You!

    If Obama had made the joke... all of the media would have been laughing over how clever he was!!! It was a joke, the people at this convention laughed about it in the context it was given.
    It still comes down to one nation (Iran) that wants to wipe another nation off the face of the earth (Israel).... I would be happy to have a decisive man or woman at the helm who can not only make the easy decisions, but the tough one's as well.

    There are innocent people in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Africa, Palestine, Israel, and everywhere else. When will people realize that bombing innocent people to kill the guilty only results in more war? When will people understand that there are people profiting from this? Is it moral to profit from killing terrorists? Is it still moral if innocent people are killed, too? Who is profiting from this war? If you want to know who the real terrorists are, then follow the money.

    I am a peacenik to begin with. I will never learn to love the bomb. Changing the words of the Beach Boys' song is copyright infringement. Singing about bombing a country which has not done anything to provoke it is amazingly stupid. A person with no good singing voice should not sing. As a bomber, losing several not exactly cheap planes in the process, McCain has no clue about the carnage "on the ground". Since he does not, he does not care about our troops, and votes against funds for them when they return home, maimed.

    Does that cover it. The man's nuts. He's not a fat lady, but he has sung, and the end of his campaign is coming up fast. That or the resthome... whichever's needed first.

    Since he has now admitted that the Hostile Occupation of Iraq is all about the Oil - and has disappointed this war profiteer cronies by saying that we will not be waging any more wars for *Middle Eastern* Oil, no doubt he'll soon be changing his tune to...

And mccain could care less he boldly lies. Then Makes statements that he is not a Bush thinker . That he has problems with Bush! Yet yesterday Bush Endorses McCain and even dances a jig on the white house steps waiting for McCain to show up! He tells reporters that the only president that will follow him is the man that keeps America in war and creates more war That's Mccain Bush says Then He says McCain is thinking for him self! I couldn't;t believe people started clapping. Bush then said I hope McCain carries on my Legacy as Commander and Chief! Give me a Brake didn't we all say we want Bush out of there and Yet many are willing to throw are one chance at saving this country away by putting some one who supports most of Bush's policy's. WHAT THE HELL is wrong with this picture? Where are peoples heads . Then McCain says Jobs are coming back to America and more will probably go! So we all should get used to the Idea of NAFTA! Then People clapped again! This is not Funny its disgusting and I think anyone who voted for these ass holes need to pull there head out of there butts real quick. McCain is a danger to this country and I know Ohio's Vote was rigged Because The News reported McCain as the winner several hours before the polls closed saying he had 60% of the Vote. I know for a fact That in every yard almost in our city was Aron Paul Sign. I know that everyone I spoke to said they Voted Ron Paul all the way! As Did I! Yet even Huckabee was said to have beaten Ron Paul. The Truth is Ron Paul Did get the votes but it was corruption that beat him. To Many people like the paid news and the IRS and Big Business stop-ed Ron Paul's Votes This election is a huge Joke and the American people keep buying in to the Lyres . Mccain didn't win shit. Look at all the Comments as to what people really feel about McCain Yet we are all supposed to believe Mccain Got 60% of the Vote. I was not born yesterday . McCain even said in his speech so what if it wasn't fair! I'm going to be the Nominee! They admitted they stole the election and that is treason people!

    I was in the Military for Five years ! And the uniform I'm talking about is the ones they are paying for that don't have enough protection to do shit for our solders > I know they served . Big deal I know a lot of people who are serving . And coming home without arms and Legs or fucked up in the head My closest friend died over in Iraq in 2005 ! I know what war is and Its not Romantic as Bush said to reporters and the guys over there just want to come home! They don't give a dam about what McCain said. This war cant be won by military farces that's not a solution its a political one and its not about Democracy its about oil war contracts and gaining a huge foot print in the Middle east! An what i said was true we poor fight the rich get richer and there will never be a victory when Innocent kids die! Bush and Cheney are war criminals and any senator or person that supports there agenda is just as Guilty!

    THE REAL STORY
    So I guess Bill Clinton is a War criminal also for sending our troops to Bosnia and Somalia? And George H. W. Bush for Desert Storm? Ronald Reagan for Panama? Let's Not forget JFK and LBJ and NIxon for Viet Nam. Harry Truman for Korea. Oh wait he's a double offender for WWII along with FDR. The point I'm trying to make is all of these men contributed a great deal to our country and they did some pretty dumb stuff too but they never sent American troops anywhere without a damn good reason. I just love how all you experts back home have it all figured out. You don't deserve the sacrifices that are being made for you. Isn't it great to live in a country where you have the right to run your mouth with out having a clue as to what you're talking about? Have a great Day. I'm done here.

    Ground forces are not nesessary to calm Iran down. Prescision bombing for about 10 days would probable do they trick. Everybody seems to get hung up on the idea that we are vunerable. We are the strongest nation on earth with capabilities beyond our wildest dreams. We could destroy Iran and not hurt most of the civilian population. We don't need anymore ground force that are restrained like in Vietnam or Iraq. Grounded force should only be a mob up action. Fight to win, not get oour people killed.

    Get harsh and maybe they will take us seriously. I'm tired of having all the limitations on us. So we're supposed to be the ones on the high road? That's reasonable, but when the people you are dealing with don't understand anything but violence...you will have to speak their language.

    Exactly, "Sufferer". I agree with your logic, but I'm curious that your avatar suggests you are a Ron Paul supporter. Your position on Iran is the exact opposite of Paul's.

    I agree with his fundamentals more than any candidate we have. Other than one (maybe two) things on his platform, I agree with him completely. I think his main problem with the war is that he thinks it wasn't justified and wasn't put into motion the right way.

    Don't we have enough problems in Iraq; we don't have the troops. You can have all the technology in the world. But you still have to have the troop on the ground fighting other troop/combatant. That's what lost us Vietnam and the same scenrio is playing out in the middle east.

    We could just drop prisoners scheduled to be legally executed in there, dressed as soldiers with something that could inject the needle into them if they don't kick some Iranian ass. That would be entertaining. They'd finally do something good for their country, even if it's to save their own butts.
