John McCain's camp calls Madonna's attack "vulgar!" Duh!

Hey, who you calling Hitler?

Count on Madonna to court controversy to promote her new "Sticky and Sweet" concert tour.

Yawn. Talk about predictable.

She used images that upset the Catholic Church in a tour a few years ago. On her last tour, she upset Jews with her use of Kabbalah images. Now she's taking aim at John McCain.

Madonna lumped the presumptive Republican presidential nominee into a video montage that includes Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe. More than 40,000 fans got to see it Saturday night at Cardiff's Millennium in Wales.

McCain's image is in a video (for the aptly named song "Get Stupid") that shows him, Hitler and Mugabe juxtaposed with shots of global warming and environmental and social destruction. When the song ends, more peaceful images of John Lennon, Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and Barack Obama are shown.

"It's a disappointing and vulgar attack on John McCain, who has devoted his life to the cause of freedom and the fight against tyranny," McCain spokesperson Taylor Griffin says today.

"But, it's not surprising that Barack Obama and his fellow celebrities stick together."

Yeah, those darn celebrities!

Anyway, Madonna manipulated us again. I can't believe it. Here we are writing about her stupid tour. Darn, she's good.

What do you think? Is Madonna right? Wrong? Will she ever shut up?

Madonna comparison of McCain to Hitler, please. For a woman who has had more hands up her dress than a muppet, I would expect nothing less. Since this was how she was raised, you can take this up directly with her mother, simply refer to the 2008 Fallujah street walkers directory
P.S. No offence to Iraq's street walkers.

McCain needs someone to attack outside of the political realm because he can't come up with a rationale defense of the past 8 years of Republican Tyrany. Someone needs to tell the old fart that Madonna is not on the ticket.

Madge ROCKS the vote!

[Jeff Ford]

She's white trash, who really cares what she thinks or says?

[Tom]

This is why we love her. She always hits the nail squarely on the head.

I am sick and tired of reading about show biz idiot liberals making political statements. With Madonna, it is always Catholic paraphenalia, sex, Kabbalah, etc. etc. Now, looks like, her agenda is to save the world. A basket case like her needs something, anything, to exhibit her ego, just like some perverts exhibit themselves to strangers.
Madonna, stick to your act and stop being a fool. If you want to do something important, go adopt more children,

[Bill]

LOL, McCain call’s Madonna vulgar, but insist more American get slaughtered on the battlefields for an oil war.

[Edward Holman]

50 year old chicks don't do it for me. She's vulgar, but for all the wrong reasons.

[Jesus]

Madonna is right. How's it JOHN MCCAIN to be used in a video that you didn't give permission for, to be compared to other people??? Talk about vulgar, have u seen the mccain ads against obama?

[Dave Rappoport]

Madonna comparing McCain to Hitler.I would expect nothing less from a woman who is listed as an honorary member in the 2008 Fallujah street walkers directory.Well Brits,glad she spends most of her time with you folks.

[Vivi]

Madonna is wrong. She should apologize to Sen. McCain. Why can't Obama supporters remain civil? This woman should refrain from namecalling, which is what this is . McCain deserves her respect. To compare him to Hitler is way over the top.

[Dave Rappoport]

Madonna, comparing McCain to Hitler? She is what happens when you leave syphilis, the clap and crabs untreated!

[sniper]

What has she ever given up for freedom?

[Steph Johnson]

Why people should not be surprised? Her name ends with a, like Jane Fonda, like Obama...osama bin ladin... etc...

[Neitzke]

...and just a few weeks ago John McCain was pimping his wife to be not only First Lady, but also the BuffaloChip Topless Beauty Contest winner...talk about VULGAR

[Christoher]

Mccaine is not what the country needs and Madonnas got the balls to tell it like it is... Tired of conservatives turning everything into a platform issue they dont got any substance,,,

[WillRoberts]

The tired old trout just needs to go away. Nothing worse than libs stooping to poison the minds of youth when they can't win elections. WHAT LOSERS!

The world is desperate to escape the status quo. I'm a Republican, I disagree with what she did, but I can't fault the message.
