Up front, I'm no fan of radio talk show host Ed Schultz. I find him to be a pompus, overbearing, blowhard who frequently suffers from fact deprivation, and often doesn't know what he's talking about.
But on this occasion, I must defend him and berate Barack Obama's campaign for disowning his introductory remarks at a North Dakota Obama fund raiser.
While warming up the audience prior to Obama's appearance, Schultz flat out said that John McCain is a "warmonger."
Distancing Obama from Schultz, Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman said, "John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such. He's a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged."
Wrong! A warmonger is exactly what Johnny "GWB" McCain is.
McCain is selling Bush's war; Bush's march to war against Iran; war against anyone who doesn't keep in step to their warmongering tune.
A warmonger sells war.
A warmongers sings "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" and ends his war-making ditty with an Elmer Fudd snicker.
A warmonger is willing to commit the military to Iraqi occupation for generations to come, no matter how the right wing spin machine wants to torture his words into a new tune, and say 'he didn't say stay in Iraq for a hundred years.'
Following in the neocons fetid footsteps, the "straight talker" and his Straight Talk Express were derailed long ago. McCain is a bald-faced liar, which makes him a 'crooked' talker, not a straight talker.
At a veterans' gathering he spouted glorious words of support for the "troops" with equipment, benefits in general and health care when they return.
Yet this purveyor of false words has voted "NO" on every veterans bill and refuses to commit to voting "YES" on the one that is currently before Congress.
Republican mouthpiece Mary Matalin lovingly calls her husband, Democratic strategist James Carville, "serpent head."
It would be apt to apply that appellation to Johnny McC, because his tongue is so forked he's beginning to take on the appearance of a snake; a viper that will sink his poisonous fangs into your ass the minute you turn your back on him.
