mccain still has an old-fashioned mindset, that war is a good option, that human beings will be human beings and that means war. and isn't mccain running on his war credentials. he is a veteran and knows how to fight a war. that's just about all we've heard from him.
obama, on the other hand, has never supported the war and sees more enlightened ways of dealing with iraq and other nations. that would be the opposite of a warmonger.
then the story went on to say that calling mccain a warmonger was the equivalent of talk radio show host bill cunningham using obama's middle name to evoke fears that somehow obama is a terrorist. sorry, not the same. not even close.
how silly is this story? is this the best the republicans can do?
But Mr. Schultz, a fervent supporter of Senator Barack Obama, may have gone too far late Friday when he called Senator John McCain “a warmonger.”
Mr. Schultz, whose program is syndicated nationally, made the remarks while revving up a group of Obama supporters at a $100-a-head fund raiser at the North Dakota Democratic Party’s convention in Grand Forks. As soon as the Republican National Committee got word of the attack, it issued a statement lambasting Mr. Schultz and calling on Mr. Obama to repudiate the characterization of the presumptive Republican nominee for President.
“Enough is enough,” said Robert M. Duncan, the chairman of the Republican National Committee. “Senator Obama has an obligation to speak out and publicly reject and denounce — not applaud — the shameful and contemptible remarks made by his surrogates.”
