Images of destruction and global warming flashed on to a screen during a video interlude. Those were followed by pictures of Adolf Hitler, Zimbabwe's authoritarian ruler Robert Mugabe — and McCain. A later sequence showed slain Beatle John Lennon, climate activist Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and finally McCain's democratic rival, Barack Obama. Once the interlude was over, Madonna threw herself ...

Stay, er, classy, Madonna: Concert video compares McCain to Hitler, Obama to Gandhi
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... I’m desperate enough for content this slow news morning that I can just manage to pretend to care. Besides, I challenge you to come up with a better example of mindlessly conformist leftist nonconformity than Madonna lazily belching up yet another “conservatives = Nazis” meme . I think you’ll agree, it’s even more shocking and transgressive in its eighth thousandth permutation. This’ll barely raise an eyebrow nationally, partly because her act is staler than Marilyn Manson’s was when the Onion ...
At least she's consistent

Madonna mixes Hitler, Mugabe, McCain on tour - USATODAY.com The first show of Madonna's world tour Saturday night made a foray into U.S. politics with a none-too-subtle dig at U.S. presidential hopeful John McCain.

A later sequence showed slain Beatle John Lennon, climate activist Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and finally McCain's Democratic rival, Barack Obama. Once the interlude ...

CARDIFF, Wales - Even at 50, the queen of pop just can't stop courting controversy.

Madonna Compares McCain to Hitler, Obama to Gandhi —
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias
In case you missed it with the Olympics going on, Russia invading Georgia, and the campaign for president in full swing, pop star Madonna started her much-awaited tour in Wales Saturday. Amidst the requisite autoerotic writhing and gyrating, Madonna managed to bash John McCain -- actually equating him to Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe! -- while comparing Barack Obama to Mahatma Gandhi. I kid ...
McCain & Hitler —
The Corner on National Review Online
Clearly, McCain should borrow a page from Barack Obama's defense on the Ayers issue and simply say, 'What's Madonna talking about the 1940s for? I was only 4 years old when Hitler invaded Poland.'
(With thanks to the reader who made a similar joke earlier today whose email I cruelly deleted).

WTF Is It Now?!?
The McElitist campaign hit back at popstar Madonna on Sunday after she compared the warmongering nutjob to Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe. "The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," a McNuts' campaign spokesman whined in a crudely divisive statement. "It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities ...

The Swamp

Video of destruction and global warming greeted concert-goers on the big screen, capped with images of Hitler, Robert Mugabe and John McCain.
The display appeared during her song, ''Get Stupid.''
"Outrageous,'' McCain ...
"The Slut Vote" —
Feministing
via Matt , apparently the National Review 's Kathryn Jean Lopez thinks Madonna represents "the slut vote." (Madonna is speaking out against John McCain on her world tour, which kicked off this weekend.)
Where has K-Lo been for the past decade and a half? Calling Madonna a whore is sooo 1993. (Circa her Sex book, Body of Evidence , and " Human Nature .") If you want to go negative on ...
Is Madonna secretly helping McCain along with Angelina and Downey? —
Roger L. Simon
Otherwise how to explain her prancing around to the brain dead “Bush is Hitler” meme, but this time with McCain as bloodthirsty dictator. It plays right into the “Obama is a witless celebrity” theme the McCain campaign has been employing so successfully. More likely Madonna doesn’t know or care… But what if she was a secret pro-McCain person? Unlikely, ...

News
With Barack Obama going with a "timid" and "boring" veep pick, John McCain should choose Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) as his running mate, since a female veep candidate would seem exciting and since she has solid conservative credentials, writes Michael Medved. Obama should denounce Madonna, who compared McCain to Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe, [...]
Has Madonna Got McCain Pegged Right? —
DownWithTyranny!
Before I got my first job at Warner Bros. I did a punk rock radio show at KUSF. Madonna was the most successful musical artist of the day and, obviously, our station didn't play her music. (The closest we got were cover versions of smash hits by alternative artists like BiGod 20 and John Wesley Harding .) But I went even further than not playing her; I had a station promo made bragging that ...
Julie Banderas Says That Madonna Isn’t Being “Fair” To John McCain —
News Hounds
Immediately after whining about Griff Jenkin’s freedom of speech being infringed by those nasty, bad protestors, Julie Banderas and Greg Jarrett reported on Madonna’s new world tour. It seems that nasty, bad Madonna’s opening number was done against a backdrop of brief images of destruction which included Robert Mugabe, Adolph Hitler, and John McCain. Banderas didn’t think that Madonna was ...
