McCain Jokes About Killing Iranians With Cigarettes

TRANSCRIPT:
REPORTER: We've learned that the exports to Iran increased by ten fold during the Bush administration. The biggest export was cigarettes. Giving that the, yeah, that the supposedly [...]

McCain: Maybe that's a way of killing them.

[McCain and reporters laugh]

McCain: I meant that as a joke.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Ok, he jokes a lot about killing Iranians, I'm sorry!

ANDREA MITCHELL: That's before the missile tests, let's just point that out.

CHUCK TODD: But you know what's funny, in all this re-tooling of McCain that we've read about over the last couple of weeks, apparently one of the things that they want to have him stop doing are these jokes!

SCARBOROUGH: About killing Iranians! Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!

TODD: But I think this is what people like about John McCain.

WILLY GEIST: It is!

TODD: I mean, I'm sorry [...]

SCARBOROUGH: Not killing Iranians, but [...]

TODD: No! But when he does things like that it's sort of like that's what makes him real and that's what makes people that disagree with him say, ah you know what, the guy seems like any guy you'd want to have around the dinner table or the bar stool.

I don't know if I'll vote for Obama. But I do know he WILL be our next president. The republicans have blown their chance(s). They won't be getting another one. At least not for probably 8 years. And they don't deserve one. Spouses murder spouses everyday. How do you know you can trust anyone? You have to go with your best notion. In this case, the lesser of the two evils. That is no doubt Obama. McCain IS the Bush 3rd term you speak of. Obama HAS brought, if nothing else, HOPE -JM's brought ???

what if he made a joke about killing jews or blacks. He would have hell to pay. So racism against Iranians is ok, and he would be a guy you would want around the dinner table? If he were at my dinner table, i'd jump across it and knock him out!

Look how George Bush effected the world, look what a mess he made of the US, the Middle-East and the already damaged reputation of the republicans, if McCain would become president, this could end up way worse than anybody's wildest imaginations...

the scariest part of it is that dumb VP he got Sarah Palin,come on,is it me or it's she just doesn't make any sense at all

I mean, she doesn't know shit about politics,economy,or even basic English grammar and there's something about her that screams racist,when she starts talking about NEIGHBORING countries,she uses FOREIGN countries,the whole thing she said about Pakistan really got me all freaked out

if that doesn't scare you,I don't know what will
