31. were is racism in this joke ?
Grey   (02.05.13)
He didn't insulted iranians. He did only mocked Ahmadinejad who is a bloody tyrant and a terrorist. So what ?
32. McCain is doing his job!
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (02.05.13)
He is just expressing the feelings of the majority of the general public in reaction to Mr Ahmadi Nejad's Monkey Business! Mr Ahmadi Nejad has made a monkey of the Persian People for such a long time! Just look back to the last General Election in the Islamic Monkey Republic of Mullah's and the bunch of thieves and hooligans who are in power over there.
33. USA sended the first monkey in 1948 and it died

35. McCain means well. Ahmadinejad plots genocide!!.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.05.13)
John McCain always means well and there is no evidence of racism in his remark. Ahmadinejad, on the other hand is plotting genocide against Jews. But people are more upset with McCain!!
36. STRAIGHT-TALK EXPRESS! GO JOHN - YOU SPOKE FOR US !
Rafi ,   US   (02.05.13)
37. Very wrong to use the Monkey analogy
Professor Dave ,   NY, USA   (02.05.13)
It was wrong to use the Monkey analogy (actually it was insulting to the monkey) It was more appropriate to use snake, rat, weasel, vermin ....
38. Insult to the REAL little monkey!!
Arlene ,   Israel   (02.05.13)
39. Never laugh at facial features
Tomek ,   Poland   (02.05.13)
It is primitive and you of all people should know it. McCain is no hero. The guy was an inept pilot who got himself shot down losing a plane costing American taxpayers lots of money. What happened to him in captivity was beyond his control, so it was hardly a heroic act. Now he is just another warmonger.
40. I am absolutely outraged!
Mira ,   Vienna   (02.05.13)
How did the monkeys deserve such a comparison?
41. Comparisons .....
Shoshieb ,   Migdal, Israel   (02.05.13)
When the Iranian and Egyptian Presidents compare the Jewish nation to apes and moneys, I don't see any indignation from the rest of the world.. Looks like we are on our own and good for you John McCain - a decorated war veteran, we should all be able to take what he took during the Vietnam war as a prisoner.... he can say anything he likes....
42. John McCain
Ariye ,   Mata, Israel   (02.05.13)
#3 ... and maybe you should go back to school, learn some grammar and how to spell.
43. @18 R U talking about MaCain or your VP?
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (02.05.13)
44. Tomek # 39 Never be a judge
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.05.13)
Who are you to judge how and why McCain got shot down? The heroic act is the fact that McCain didn't break in captivity and that he put it behind him to go on and do great things. What have you done Tomek besides shooting off you mouth and taking cheap shots at a good man?
