US presidential candidate John McCain has been strongly criticised by Iran for his remark that Iranians could be eliminated by the export of cigarettes.

McCain last Wednesday joked with reporters about sending cigarettes to Iran.

After being told that US exports, especially cigarettes, to Iran had increased, McCain said: "That's one way of killing them."

As reporters laughed uncomfortably, McCain quickly shot back: "I meant that as a joke; as a person who hasn't had a cigarette in 28 years."

4. McCain is promoting more than just the devaluation of human life.

McCain is promoting death and genocide. He is promoting the killing of Iranians. Wow, what a shock. This man is a fucking psycho. He is dubya on steroids and LSD.

He'll be happy to meet Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Tony Snow when he dies and GOES TO HELL!

Iran: McCain cigarette joke, disturbing

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:47:44

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini has criticized Senator John McCain for joking about killing Iranians with cigarettes.

“McCain's crude remark on the indiscriminate killing of the Iranian nation not only testifies to his disturbed state of mind, but also to his warmongering approach to foreign policy,” said Hosseini in a Saturday statement.

“We condemn such jokes and believe them to be inappropriate for a US presidential candidate. It is most evident that jokes about genocide will not be tolerated by Iranians or Americans,” he added.

The straight-talking Arizona senator sparked an outcry when in response to a report that US exports to Iran had increased more than tenfold during George W. Bush's presidency, he suggested killing Iranians by sending them cigarettes.

"Maybe that's a way of killing them,” the senior Republican opined.

6. Please replace the word "reporters" with "groupies" or "enablers"

This will be more acceptable to MSM.
