McCain calls al Qaeda "an obscure sect of the Shi'ites"

[herpescrabman]

93.52 % of americans are ignorent or stupid

[ECDHollis]

And you are an arrogant bastard.

[turfsown]

AMERICA AMERICA LMFAO woof woof fukin idiots

[waddleduckie1]

Hmm He think that Shiites are Al Qaeda and not Sunnis? Well it is a mixture of the two? And the Shiites are from Iran? Are you kidding me? All I can see that McCain is color blind and stupid. Maybe McCain should go and pay his friend a visit in Iran.

[paulatition]

where are McCains medical records?

why is he hiding them?

i would need to know about the mental state of a future president before i voted.

wouldn't you?

[Psuedogenius]

the rocketing situation and the suicide bombing of the marine barracks in the 80's when we were supporting the legitimate government in lebanon, in most peoples estimation, counts as terrorism. But of course we can disagree.

[bloom6]

he finished 894 out of 899 in his graduating class, can we really afford another stupid president

[chunhaylee]

AMEN! Let's see- we have one candidate who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, and another candidate who graduated 894 out of 899 at the Naval Academy.... geez what a tough choice, eh?

[fishhead06]

This isn't a gotcha, unfortunately, McCain says that al-Qaeda is "certainly not an obscure sect of Shi'ia." That's a pretty crucial difference.

[superm401]

He was saying they're still major, not that they're Sunni. The emphasis is clearly on "NOT obscure", not "NOT Shia"

[Cydonia]

this guy is really stupid.

[spyder130]

I can't stand the guy either, but didn't he actually say "NOT an obscure Shi'ite sect?"

[stealth63]

He said it (al queda) is certainly not an obscure sect of shi'ite, meaning that they are are not obscure. Clearly, he screwed the pooch again and a)got confused or b) is purposely trying to conflate al queda and the shi'ite uprising. Maybe he's getting senile, or maybe it's a cynical ploy.

[joes805]

Bush's Third Term?

[joes805]

JOES WAS HERE

[tl267]

Man, he's really stupid for a presidential candidate.

[malickfan]

What an idiot.

[DonSimonBolivar]

lol

[dohroller322]

McCain is just a puppet for the global elites, just like Bush, Obama, Clinton, and all the others. Vote Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Jesse Ventura, Mike Gravel, or any other non-global elite CFR puppet

[renijohn012270]

McLame, McSame or McBush. What ever you call him, he asks, "What are the consequences if we pull out of Iraq"? A Joe Smoe like me asks, ?WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR US STAYING??? Answer= More troops will die, Billions more of tax payers dollars will be lost, more terrorists and insurgents will be created, our reputation around the world will still be in the gutter, more profits for Haliburton, Becktell and the oil industry and finally, Bush's legacy will continue until 2012. Vote Democrat 08!!

[nothankyoumam]

That a boy McSame! Just like your old daddy, Dubya.

[mrigze]

here he goes again..

[dullsville]

Dear John McCain,

Thanks for your thoughts !Keep up the good work!

LOL

The Obama campaign

[ArabAmerican4RonPaul]

that's what the world needs another dump leading the greatest nation.

[vietnamveteranusa]

mcain is a dildo. its official, again.

[TAMARLANE]

Oh Shit.

This is so patently false I'm sorry I came in here.

You left out the word "NOT" part of Shiaa or Sunni. Dipstick~~!!!!

[lljb99]

It's really not funny when you think that this is the person who gets the biggest marks for being commander in chief material. Obama was right - he DOES know more about foreign policy.

For those who don't get it yet - confusing the shia and the sunnis is like confusing the protestants and the catholics in the middle of the northern ireland "troubles". The sad thing is - is that before we invaded - they actually got along better overall.

[Psuedogenius]

he didn't confuse anything in this video. Even my grandmother knows the differences between sunni and shia and so does mccain. you didn't really listen to the quote did you?

Thats ok, neither did the posters.

[Psuedogenius]

McCain just said AQ is NOT an obscure sect of the shiites sunnis or anybody else.

That is absolutely factually true

The posters of this video are idiots who don't understand english completely.

WTF is wrong with you guys, and the funniest thing is dozens of people have posted comments like "yeah McCinsane is stupid and dangerous" I hope you ADD nutcases are not voting because you are just braindead bandwagon tub-tards.

[GTS4tw]

exactly. This video is a comedy. Whoever posted it probably doesnt speak english. And the morons posting here dont understand it. Thats the danger your country faces, these herds or moron sheep that listen to even stupider people on youtube.

[Psuedogenius]

I agree. Btw Canadians are the toughest troops in afganisitan. Thank you.

[medaa25]

Stop trying to defend an idiot. It makes your nickname look real.

[Psuedogenius]

What a convincing and nuanced argument medaa25. In light of your lettered response I will have to rethink my position.

[armychick74]

Thank you. I am glad I was able to help. But please do not overload your brain with thinking, you might have a synaptic shock. My advice is one thought at a time.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

[Psuedogenius]

armychick74,Why are you pretending to be medaa25? Do you need some attention? Are you at that point in your life were your body is starting to sag and no one considers you a "chick" anymore? miss that attention at the pub don't cha?

my advice is to you is to start dating fat bald men and just admit to yourself you are no longer a "chick". Feel free to contact someone else if you have anymore issues.

[TriciaNC1]

Your title is a deceitful lie. McCain said certainly NOT an obscure sect of the Shites or the Sunnis or anybody else for that matter. Your integrity is the same as Obama's. Shame, shame.

[dakgoalie38]

While I may hate McCain as a politician, I have to agree with you on that one.

[TriciaNC1]

Your title is a deceitful lie.  McCain said certainly NOT an obscure sect of the Shites or the Sunnis or anybody else for that matter. Your integrity is the same as Obama's. Shame, shame.

[patsagainstrats]

Senator Carl Levin(D-MI), addressed General Petraeus as "Admiral" in today's hearing.

[67krugar]

Have pity on this man...

Most of his family has died in the Iraq war and he's this close to being a fucking orphan.

I think I'm gonna cry......

[ElGrandinquisitor]

Nice job John ,got the main players and the country right this time. Here's some applesauce, now go take your nap.

[firejack007]

You lie in your title. He said NOT an obscure sect of the Shi'ites. Nice try.

[Pelonetillo]

lol, no its not going to be tossed off as a joke. not for anyone with a brain anyway. this guy made a fool of himself, again, by again trying to sound like he knows what hes talking about. haha, mccain is a joke.

[expatted]

Most Americans don't have a brain. In fact, 1/5 of US Americans can't find the USA on a map. Ask Miss Teen South Carolina. So how would anyone expect them to know about, or understand the Middle East? Scroll up to read wmhs02dm.

[Pelonetillo]

by being told about it in the news and getting it repeatedly pounded into their little brains. most people are dumb as hell, i wont disagree with you there. but they can be taught some things, as long as its kept simple and repeated often.

[scottythrust]

Yeah right, most Americans don't have a brain. Enjoy our culture, asswhipe.

[expatted]

Which culture are you referring to? McDonald's? Killing for oil?? Obesity??

America is the only country that has gone from barbarity to decadence, without civilization in between. Oscar Wilde.

[scottythrust]

Look around you, America hater... your entire existence is being enhanced by American ingenuity. Your statement "most Americans don't have a brain" is one of the dumbest lines I have ever seen on this forum. Oscare Wilde fan, huh? Are you into boy-love too?

[invisiblepopcorn]

This one will be tossed off as a joke, making fun of his earlier gaffe.

[MarkGauvreau]

rev. wright.

[Takekaze50]

Doesn't really matter what they are. Sunnies or Shitties, they're terrorists, exterminate the vermin.

[RationalLiberty]

actually it does matter. Especially for a man who makes exterminating terrorists a number one priority. Especially for a man on the armed services committee, and for a man who wishes to be commander in chief during the "global war on terror" (TM).

If you dont know what sect of Islam you are fighting against, it can hurt our foreign relations, and hurt any badly needed alliances.

[drmark1995]

The ability to distinguish between Sunni and Shiites is crucial in Iraq, particularly if we are trying to align with one more than the other. This has been part of the problem since day one, lumping all Iraqis together. This would be reality, by the way, but I don't expect a moron like yourself or an Alzheimer's victim like McCain to get it.

[Neoconhater]

McWarmonger doesn't know his ass from his mouth, fuck Yoo McWarmonger.

[wmhs02dm]

they are shiites actually

[Auragirl86]

wow talk about RAPID response! lol

[crapo87]

Oh c'mon! Does ANYONE know the difference between the Sunnys and the Hittites?

[DemKR]

hes gone mad

[diffidatio]

Man, this guy just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, i.e. when he speaks of things about which he knows little, though he should know much. But, hey, this is just one big DC circle-jerk, no? Kudos to the demonstrators that disrupted the jerk!

[RationalLiberty]

al queda is sunni right? Thats why Iran helped kill them because Iran is shia correct?

Hehe, the difference between me and Mccain asking this question is because

this was his platform-we gotta kill the "terrorists"

and isnt he on the armed services committee?

Man this man is a dimwit. (I think he was almost last in his class at the Naval Academy as well)

[wmhs02dm]

no they are shiite actually most extremists are shiite

[raplon4]

Bin Laden a Shiite? Any of the 9/11 hijackers?

Have you been paying ANY attention?

[Psuedogenius]

what is hezbollah, a very large terrorist oranization (which outnumbers AQ)? (bombed the marine barracks)

what is the medhi army (which far outnumbers AQ)?(using iranian made armour peircing explosives with iranian training to attack american vehicles.)

They are Shia.

wmhs02dm was factually correct and you brainwashed tube heads are talking shit to him and YOU don't have your facts straight.

[expatted]

You don't know what you are talking about, obviously. AQ is an international alliance of Sunni Islamic militant organizations. Is your comment from Faux news, hyping the coming war with Iran?????? Sounds like.

[MzDragonfyre]

@RationalLiberty Yes, Sunni not Shiite...just plain ignorance pure and simple here.
