Jewish Groups Decry Madonna's Comparison of McCain to Hitler

We read:
"Pop diva Madonna, who less than a year ago declared herself an "ambassador for Judaism," has drawn on the Jewish people's most painful memory to bash Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz).

Jewish groups said Madonna insulted Holocaust victims and all Americans with her comparison of McCain to former German dictator Adolf Hitler as part of her new world tour.

Madonna opened world concert tour over the weekend in Wales. While singing a song called "Get Stupid," a photo montage showed images of destruction and global warming followed by video images of Hitler, Zimbabwe's ruler Robert Mugabe and McCain, reports said.

"I find Madonna's attempt to compare John McCain with Hitler beyond the pale and an insult to all Americans, Democrats as well as Republicans," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Wiesenthal Center.....

Foxman said that it was "inappropriate and offensive" to compare present or former world leaders to a man who was responsible for the death of six million Jews. "Doing so trivializes the history of the Holocaust and is an insult to the memories of the victims and their families," Foxman said in a statement.

I wasn't aware that people stilled cared about Madonna or her politics. With a pretty skanky past and she has creepy takes on world views ... yah, I figured people wouldn't give a crap what she thinks or does.

She is not even Jewish, she never converted to Judaism, she just CLAIMS to be Kabbalist. And other anon, no one is trivialising what happned to others, it is just that we Jews took the brunt of the aggression.
