McCain Fires Back at Madonna for Hitler Comparison

Madonna isn’t starting off her 50s quietly. Just ask John McCain.
The pop diva kicked off her world tour in Cardiff, UK, on Sunday with a concert that put the Republican presidential hopeful in the same category as Adolf Hitler and Zimbabwe strongman Robert Mugabe. The swipe came during a performance of the song "Get Stupid," when McCain’s image was flashed up alongside images of destruction, global warming and the two aforementioned men.
Another sequence, later shown to the event’s 40,000 attendees, pictured slain Beatle John Lennon, followed by climate activist Al Gore, Mahatma Gandhi and Barack Obama.
John McCain’s campaign hit back at Madonna on Sunday.
"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement. "It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
