Sen. McCain pays tribute to Neda on senate floor

by RMR | 7:04 pm, June 22, 2009 | 4 Comments

Sen. John McCain paid tribute today to the young woman named Neda who was gunned down in cold blood by Iranian government forces while standing on the outskirt of a protest.

For the record, I don’t fault Obama for staying largely quiet on Iran. The Iranian state media and government loyalists have been blaming the protests on the CIA, Mossad, and the BBC among other organizations. Having the president come out directly would only fuel the Iranian regime’s efforts to quash the protest movement.

Nonetheless, John McCain is free to condemn Iran all he wants in his position without really providing any ammunition to the Ayatollah’s propaganda campaign.

    …said the government loyalist’s blog after throwing the 2007 McCain Beach Boys mash-up #1 hit down the memory hole.

    Whose blog is the “government loyalist’s”, Chris?

    The 2008 primary is apparently still raging on for some people.

    T.L., that would be the source blog, which neglected to mention any of McCain’s previous positions on Iran in this particular post. Specifically, my reference was to McCain’s support for bombing Iran, a position he was enamored with enough only two years ago to actually sing his praise of the idea — on camera on his way to POTUS runner-up! Do you, or the RMR, not consider that overt act to have perhaps helped provide “ammunition to the Ayatollah’s propaganda campaign” at that time?

    T.S.L., in case you forgot the video:
