A one-minute clip of John McCain singing 'Bomb bomb Iran' to the tune of a Beach Boys song at a 2007 campaign event.

Cited critically as an example of casual American hawkishness toward Iran.

Here is what Iranians see from major American presidential candidates considered to be "highly respected on both sides of the aisle": ▶ this video

@Jach2018 · in “John McCain has died”

McCain himself points that out: ▶ this video I remember him for that one but also for advocating the permanent military presence, like South Korea, going forward in Iraq. link I'm somewhat surprised that HN seems to have such a hardon for the man, and every negative comment is being downvoted / flagged. I remember pretty clearly how Obama-obsessed the tech world was in 2008, and even Family Guy did a "we're not saying he's a nazi but nazis support him" routine: link What happened to make the HN crowd change their opinion (did McCain fight back against software patents at some point despite being a self-admitted computer illiterate?), or was it always glowing and the subject just didn't come up?

@pinaceae2017 · in “Former Norway PM held at Washington airport over 2014 visit to Iran”

Obama did the Iran nuclear deal to start a peace process. You're mistaking him with GWB and McCain, who famously sang Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran on stage: ▶ this video

@ajays2015 · in “German author Guenter Grass dies”

Meanwhile, it's perfectly OK for Netanyahu to keep threatening to bomb Iran: link It's perfectly OK for the US/Israel to attack Iran's industrial infrastructure with a virus: link (an act that Obama said would be an "act of war" if done to the US) It's perfectly OK for Israel to kill Iranian nuclear scientists: link And it's perfectly OK for people like John McCain (who came this >< close to becoming POTUS) to sing about bombing Iran: ▶ this video But hey, Ahmedinajad says one sentence that's dubiously translated, and that's not OK.
