Among McCain's many stupid unfunny jokes is one now that includes killing innocent Iranian people

[DogPoundPup]

Cindy McCain's jab to her husband's back came a second too late Tuesday to keep him from making a wisecrack about the health impact of Iran's main import from the United States: cigarettes.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain was asked about an Associated Press report that $158 million in cigarettes have been shipped to Iran during George W. Bush's presidency despite restrictions on U.S. exports to that country.

"Maybe that's a way of killing them," McCain told reporters, smiling as he waited for a cheesesteak sandwich at the Primanti Brothers restaurant. His wife, sitting next to him at the counter, poked his back without looking up.

"I meant that as a joke," McCain quickly explained.

1. Well now we know how he truly feels about the Iranian people.

bomb bomb bomb blah blah blah.

[polly7]

2. I seriously cannot stand even looking at his mug anymore ...

What an ignorant thing to say.

3. What do you want to bet that Cindy was treated to a reprise of her husband's c**t remark?

In private, this time.

ETA: Imagine, for a split second, if Obama had mde that remark about killing innocent Iranians. It would knock all other campaign news off the air for the next month.

8. Obama gets attacked mercilessly over the "clinging" comment.

And I hear nothing but crickets from the press over McCain making a disgusting joke about killing millions of innocent people just because they're Iranian.

4. this idiot always says the exact wrong thing and he always tries to pass it off....

...as a joke.

all you can say is "wtf?".

[ecstatic]

5. That is a DISGUSTING comment which should lead to the end of his campaign

if the vast majority of worthless reporters out there had any integrity, that is.

14. Damn right n/t

6. Yeah, lung cancer jokes are just hilarious.

:sarcasm:

Another display of McCain's poor judgment. Cancer death is nothing to laugh about.

7. Does this fucking idiot know anything about the Iranian people??!!

:wtf:

What kind of a sick joke was that?

9. His jokes are unfunny in fact, they are lame and pathetic.

He probably jokes about what he's going to do this country in exactly the same way.

[foo_bar]

10. the gaffe wasn't wishing death on Iranians, it was admitting that tobacco kills people

His base eats up the former, while the latter goes against the party/lobbyist line. Say, I wonder what variety of cheese McCain had on his cheesesteak, isn't that a vital http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/local/6528601.htm">criterion in selecting a US president?

11. He's another Bush.... 'Open mouth, insert both feet !! '

Ugh! What an ass.... but I'm quite sure (haven't checked)
that he votes for the tobacco Co.'s all the time....

well; at least to sell cigs and raise the taxes on them. :eyes:

12. Click thru & rate it a 5! So inappropriate.

[goodgd_yall]

13. Just keep saying that shit, A.H.

Did this get reported on the MSM? I haven't heard about it.
