Stay, er, classy, Madonna: Concert video compares McCain to Hitler, Obama to Gandhi

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 dropped this on him but also for the same reason Howard Dean’s insinuations about Republicans never seem to get much buzz. Some smears are simply more equal than others, a fact that would become instantly apparent if some country star dared show a clip juxtaposing Obama with, oh say, the Weather Underground. Exit question: Does a person who says of ritualized rape, “It’s not my place to judge that tradition,” really want to start a who’s-more-like-Hitler contest? Click the image to watch.

Someone needs to burn Kaballah materials in her presence. See if she really believes that nothing is sacred.
AbaddonsReign on August 24, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Such idiotic comments by our ‘brilliant intelligentsia’ humanize true monsters. The amazing thing is that the nitwits have no clue of this effect.

I wonder if any of Madonna’s Jewish “friends” will find her comparison offensive?
davenp35 on August 24, 2008 at 12:07 PM
Madonna’s never been in the same room with classy.
er, no thanks, I’d rather not.

Classy and Madonna is an oxymoron.
The obvious is indignant.

If Madonna thinks this helps Obama, she’s sadly mistaken.

I’ll take your word for it. The video quality was poor enough that I couldn’t make out have of the images on the screen, other than Madge prancing about like an oversexed Stalinist.
I’m sure all the Repbulicans in the audience were outraged. Well, if there were any Republicans.

Who the hell cares what Madonna cares or thinks anymore?!!
She’s a washed-up over-the-hill has-been who suffers from the delusion she is still a pop music icon. The only thing she may be good for these days is being the opening act for some 2nd rate Las Vegas show.
She is totally irrelevant!

Ah yes- the pleading for relevancy from a fifty-something who was a marginal talent when she got started. Dancer? Yes, undeniably. Singer? Don’t make me laugh- I make my living singing and teaching singing. Songwriter? Not so much.
And by the way- without her makeup, she looks like a gargoyle. Yeesh.

Isn’t Madonna the idiot who opined recently to someone from the NY Post that she didn’t feel qualified to “judge” tribal customs that required a woman to be raped 3 times a day for “purification?”

Wow, a celebrity bashing a Republican. That’s a bold and risky move there, Madonna.

BKennedy on August 24, 2008 at 12:43 PM
This is a pretty uninspired move by a woman who is supposed to be so brilliant at marketing. She needs to be generating controversy to get free media attention for her boring, overpriced show starring an aging singer/dancer of dubious talent. But what’s controversial about an overpaid Liberal celebrity bashing a Republican presidential candidate? Been there, done that — a million times.
If she really wanted to generate some buzz, she should have bashed Obama instead. That would have been completely unexpected, and would have gotten her the attention she thrives on.
AZCoyote on August 24, 2008 at 12:46 PM

As a Jew I find it patently offensive that she would trivialize the Holocaust by making such comparisons to anyone who doesn’t share her views. She calls herself a Jew? I call her a Judenrat..a disgrace to the religion. I hope someone in the Kaballah movement sets her straight.

The white hating, Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe is like McCain? That’s especially rich! What a dunce.
And yes, as has been pointed out, Ghandi isn’t exactly the hero the Left would have you believe either, but one can understand why Barry the surrendercrat has a poster of him hanging on the walls. Via Fred Thompson:
Besides coolers and mattresses, protesters have brought along a giant paper mache statue of Mahatma Gandhi, who is pretty much the symbol of the anti-war movement. Code Pink was founded on his birthday, and when Saddam Hussein was being given a last chance to open Iraq to U.N. weapons inspectors, posters appeared around America asking “What would Gandhi do?”
And that’s a pretty good question. At what point is it okay to fight dictators like Saddam or the al Qaeda terrorists who want to take his place?
It turns out that the answer, according to Gandhi, is NEVER. During World War II, Gandhi penned an open letter to the British people, urging them to surrender to the Nazis. Later, when the extent of the holocaust was known, he criticized Jews who had tried to escape or fight for their lives as they did in Warsaw and Treblinka. “The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife,” he said. “They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs.” “Collective suicide,” he told his biographer, “would have been heroism.”
As I pointed out months ago, how does Barry’s admiration of Ghandi reconcile with his pride in his uncle’s (or was it his grandfather’s) liberation of Auschwitz, er, Buchenwald?
Shut up and

Obama is like Ghandi in the sense that Ghandi told Churchill that the British should surrender to Hitler and get spinning wheels.

I’m must more offended by Madonna’s lip syncing. Clearly the woman who can’t sing on tune must distract us with bright shiny images so we don’t watch her lips when they don’t match up to the music.

Oh yeah…a hearty F U to all you hypocrites who didn’t like when I called Allah on his “Urkel” headline. Granted, Urkel and Hitler are worlds apart. Hitler was a genocidal maniac; Urkel wore saddle shoes.
Point is the juxtaposition of one United States Senator to the other while drawing on honorable imagery for one and comical/farcical imagery for the other is CHILDISH and largely unproductive discourse.
That was my point then. I believe this posting actually makes my point for me. Although I’m sure that’s lost on the moral authoritarians at HotAir.

Oh, Poor Madonna. Losing her relevance with the children to “High School Musical” and the like.
It’s hard out there for a ho. So you have to pretend to be a Jew and pretend to know something about the politics.
FYI – As a Jew, yes, it’s insulting to hear McCain compared to Hitler. Just like it was with Bush. And if Obama’s Ghandi, then he’s definitely lost any “fighting back” type Jews.
mjk on August 24, 2008 at 2:15 PM
I always thought that McCains saving grace was that Bush Derangement Syndrome would be automatically transferred to him.
It would rally the base to him because of our desire for these psychotics to lose.

According to Richard Grenier, yes. Grenier also stated that, upon Hitler’s invasion Westward, Gandhi said, “This manslaughter must be stopped. You are losing; if you
persist, it will only result in greater bloodshed. Hitler is not a bad man….”
In many respects, Obama is like Gandhi in his delusions about human nature, though I don’t think Gandhi hung out with as many dirtbags or relied on them so much with respect to his heralded achievement, which, BTW, wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.

“Chunte” is a pejorative. You use it frequently in reference to illegal aliens or Latinos in general. Answer that question and you’ll be taken seriously. Until then your charges of “race-baiter” seem rather ridiculous.
