McCain compares Iranian leader Ahmadinejad to monkey

mccain calls ahmadinejad monkey

United States Senator John McCain (R-AZ) Monday made a joke comparing Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a monkey, something one Republican congressman charged was โ€œracist.โ€

โ€œSo Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space – wasn’t he just there last week?โ€ McCain said in a tweet that also linked to a story about Iran launching a monkey into space.

Some didnโ€™t take so kindly to the not-so-diplomatic quip, prompting McCain, 76, to respond: โ€œRe: Iran space tweet – lighten up folks, can’t everyone take a joke?โ€

Seeing that, Michigan congressman Rep. Justin Amash, 32, shot back.

โ€œMaybe you should wisen up & not make racist jokes,โ€ Amashtweeted.

Not everyone on the right agreed with Amash. Conservative John Podhoretz, for example, Tweeted this: “How dare McCain say something demeaning & disparaging abt the foremost anti-Semite on the planet.” And this: “So…it’s defend-the-Jew-hater-from-the-war-hero day.”

Itโ€™s not the first time McCainโ€™s made a joke about Iran that landed him in some hot water. During his run for president in 2007, McCain sang about bombing the country.

Asked by a GOP primary voter when the U.S. would send an โ€œair-mail message to Tehran,โ€ McCain said, โ€œThat old Beach Boysโ€™ song, โ€˜Bomb Iran?โ€™ Bomb, bomb, bombโ€”, anyway.โ€

McCainโ€™s response then as now? Itโ€™s just a joke — “get a life.โ€

โ€œWhen veterans are together, veterans joke,โ€ McCain said at the time. โ€œAnd I was with veterans and we were joking. And if somebody canโ€™t understand that, my answer is, โ€˜Please, get a life.โ€™โ€

      The only thing McCain should perceive is a Persian dick in his wife’s mouth

        Well, at least this observation of his shows how clear and accurate his understanding of things Iranian actually is!

            Well … if your ‘roots’ lie buried in Iran, you must consider the tragedy of your existence, and the nature of your essence that is brushing off on other people. It might be removable through many washings and with a lot of time. Some, though, of your ‘contacts’ may remain permanently stained.

      1. I totally agree the Wahabi Takfiri’s sleep in the same bed with the Zionists and then have the audacity to call us Majoosi…

        How dare you offend Mr Ahmadinejad by saying the likes of Wargame are near his feet. You are forgiven this time. But don’t do it again.

          be khoda free, you are right. first you have mr ahamdinejad’s feet, then you have his shoes, then you have a bunch of SH!T and finally you have the wahabis. after all mr ahmadinejad doesnt want to dirty his shoes

        The Iranians’ brethren, the Chinese, have found (what is to them) a delightful way of supping on monkey brains. They fix the victim in a chair with the top of his head through a hole in a board, remove the top of his skull, and dive in with chopsticks while the monkey is still alive. Probably, though, they’d find A-jad to have a disagreeable flavor. Once they tried it, though, that would be enough. Might put them off monkey for a while.

    Some can’t tell the difference between a racist shot and a decent joke, obviously.
    I guess politicians can’t tell the same jokes everyone else is … hahahahaha
