While discussing what the United States should do if the crisis in Iran turns into another Tiananmen Square, McCain responds that the U.S. should follow the lead of the French, who we all know Republicans love so much, the Germans and the Brits. McCain says that the death of Neda might be a defining moment in history and the end of the tyrannical regime in Iran.

When asked if we should negotiate with them if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remains in power, of course Mr. Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran doesn't think so. McCain also says the we can't trust the Iranians because they've "violated fundamental human rights upon which this nation (The United States) was founded".

As someone who formerly chaired and remains a member of the Indian Affairs Committee in the Senate, I wonder if Senator McCain has ever asked any of his American Indian constituents if they'd agree with that statement? He might want to ask the African American community as well. I don't think being kept as slaves qualifies as honoring someone's basic human rights.

John McCain made some similar statements and additional history revision on Sean Hannity's show last week.

During that show McCain said:

..the fact is that we have a fundamental belief in the rights of every human being and that was articulated on July 4th, 1776. We believe that all have a god given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are walking by on the other side of the street here. We should weigh in and say, we're not going to send arms, we're not for violence, but we are for the rights of people to go to the streets and peacefully disagree with their government, especially when it's a corrupt election.

Ummmm....Senator...I hate to break this to you but all did not have basic rights in the United States in 1776.

As Think Progress noted, McCain also told some whoppers about Ronald Reagan in the same interview: Caught Up In Nostalgic Reagan Hysteria, ‘Student Of History’ McCain Credits Him For 1968 Prague Spring.

about how Obama is handling the situation in Iran? At the very least, it will give her another opportunity to prove she can pronounce "Ahmadinejad".

ROTFLMBBAO

only white American males are human, so they see no conflict with McCain's statement. He is one of them. Ahem brother they say.

All the rest of the world's people have clearly defined roles such as:

Boot shiner/Cotton picker/sharecropper/tax write-off/tradesperson
House keeper/wife/bitch/ho/babymaker
My Wife/Bitch/Ho/babymaker
My mistress/ho/bitch/babymaker
Shoe stitcher/baseball stitcher/seamstress/ho/floor washer/machinist/tradesperson/taxwriteoff/stock option/pension plan
invasion excuse/covert operation/dead babies/dead peasants/weapons purchase or sale/stockoption/pension plan

See, everyone has a purpose, he's exactly right and I am so glad to have been given the gift by him and his fine people to be able to provide him and his fine people with the freedom and human rights they deserve.

Glory be to God and may I starve my children, suffer disease without relief, slave myself to the death in order to defend his rights to live as he pleases in luxury and freedom without fear of reprisal from the basest elements of my lowly existence.

You said it exactly right.
I don't know how many people I have run across that think because they did it anyone can. They never take into account the sheer luck that is always involved in every thing that happens. I think it was James Burke once said something I found very interesting and mybe pretty accurate. If it is true that we only use 10% of our brain. Then about anything you can think of you stand a 90% chance of being wrong 100% of the time.
republicanism is a mental illness! to little brain power used to be anything else!

mccain like all republicans I have seen have violated the bounds of sanity.
These people are fucking insane lying sacks of shit!
republicanism is a mental illness!

While this ridiculous loser spoke to Larry King concerning Iran, every comment about him on the ticker below was harshly negative.

and they drag his srooy ass out for an opinion.
MEMO TO THE MEDIA: HE FUCKING LOST THE ELECTION FOR A REASON - HE HAS NO CREDIBILITY!!!!
