John McCain camp attacks 'outrageous' Madonna
2008-08-25
US PRESIDENTIAL candidate John McCain has hit back at Madonna after the singer kicked off her world tour with a concert that appeared to compare him with Adolf Hitler. Mr McCain's campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds angrily condemned the segment of Madonna's concert in Cardiff, Wales, on Saturday that appeared to draw a comparison between Mr McCain, Hitler and Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe.

"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time,'' Mr Bounds said in a statement, reported by Fox News. "It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits.''
It also shows a tremendous lack of imagination by the Material Girl. Since this is her last swipe at looking desirable on a concert tour, you'd think she'd come up with something more original.
Madonna's apparent swipe at Mr McCain came during a performance of the song Get Stupid, when the Republican contender's image was flashed up alongside images of destruction and global warming as well as Hitler and Mugabe.

Towards the end of the song, pictures of Beatles star John Lennon, former US vice-president Al Gore, Indian Mahatma Gandhi and McCain's Democrat rival Barack Obama appeared.
Oh, oh, how .. inspiring. How .. insipid. It's like the Left has never learned the lessions taught by Leni Riefenstahl ...

#13  My daughter found this through a British chat group she frequents and we posted it on the Daily Brief last month - sort of the very last word on Madonna... and a very scary likeness!

#10  She thrives on attention and shocking. She's the celebrity version of a troll. Yeah some people like her songs but she knows she can't survive on that alone. Thus the attention grabbing stunts.

McCain shouldn't have taken the bait. I know he's no internet user but someone on his staff must be. Don't feed the trolls (even ones that look like they haven't eaten in weeks).

#8  The initial signs of MDS [McCain Derangement Syndrome]. A mutation of BDS? It certainly shows the same pathology of jingoism marked by intolerance and hate. So expect an outbreak come January, among the same population which displayed the same symptoms for the past eight years.

#3  Probably a mistake on McCain's part. Madonna's career has been a series of shock concerts. Each one creating more scandlous controversy than the last. This is what her fans expect and, predictibly, this is what she gives. At 50, she is, at best, reaching for material. From the description, it sounds like the one she is paroding the most is herself. A gentle, humorous putdown of an over-the-hill performer is all that is needed here. Giving her much attention is counterproductive.

#2  Madonna's attacking Robert Mugabe by comparing him to John McCain? Why, that means she's ... she's ... RACIST!
