McCain tells critics to 'lighten up' in Las Vegas stop

LAS VEGAS- Arizona Sen. John McCain said critics complaining about
his recent joke about bombing Iran should "lighten up and get a life."
"Please, I was talking to some of my old veterans friends," the
Republican presidential candidate told reporters Thursday, a day
after he parodied the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann" at a campaign
stop in South Carolina. The senator changed the song's title to
"Bomb Iran."
"My response is lighten up and get a life," he said.
McCain's quip, which was circulating on the Internet, was prompted
by an audience question about whether the senator believes the U.S.
should send Iran "an airmail message to Tehran."
"That old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran," McCain joked and broke into
the melody: "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, anyway, ah ..."
McCain then said he agreed with President Bush's policy of
protecting Israel from Iran and working to prevent Iran from
acquiring nuclear weapons.
Asked by reporters Thursday if he thought the joke was insensitive
he said: "Insensitive to what? The Iranians?"

The real story implicit here, in the background of McCain's "Bomb
Iran" song stunt, is his admission that a US attack on Iran could
precipitate "the Apocalypse". McCain has been courting Christian
Zionist leaders such as John Hagee who WANT Armageddon to happen.
Hagee has, in fact, formed a powerful national US lobbying group to
bring it on. The failure of both mainstream and progressive media
to pay serious attention to John Hagee and the American Christian
Zionist movement may prove to be one of the most tragic
journalistic failures of our time. because the growing political
clout of that pro-war lobby may prove to be the decisive factor
tipping the US towards a potentially catastrophic war with Iran.
As part of my research into a February meeting between John McCain
and CUFI founder John "Apocalypse Now!" Hagee, who was the keynote
speaker before a substantial portion of Congress, at last
February's AIPAC convention, and McCain I dug up the following
startling Meet The Press statement by McCain:
TIM RUSSERT: So we could have two wars at once?
SEN. McCAIN: I think we could have Armageddon.
