Madonna kicked off her “Sticky and Sweet” world tour on Saturday night, and – as she has done in the past – made sure to include some political satire in the new show.
In it, she compares Presidential hopeful John McCain with Adolf Hitler!
She also compared McCain to Zimbabwe’s authoritarian President Robert Mugabe.
Well, McCain’s camp is fighting back. His spokesman is speaking out against her Madgesty.
The Republican’s rep, Tucker Bounds, says in a statement, “The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time.”
Bounds adds, “It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits.”
Apparently this all happened during Madonna’s song Get Stupid. Photos of McCain were flashed up alongside images of global warming and destruction, as well as pics of Hitler and Mugabe.
Then, towards the end of the song, photos appeared of John Lennon, Mahatma Gandhi, Al Gore, and even Barack Obama.
What do U think of Madonna’s statements and McCain’s response?
Barack Obama should NOT be criticized for what Madge does, though!
