(CNN) — John McCain criticized Barack Obama Saturday for not denouncing comments from a speaker at a North Dakota Democratic Party event calling the Arizona senator a "warmonger."
The comments in question came Friday evening at an event in North Dakota where Barack Obama also spoke. Radio talk show host Ed Schultz addressed the crowd, during which he criticized McCain's support of the Iraq war and called him a "warmonger." Obama was not present for Schultz's comments and spoke later at the event.
"I hope that in keeping with the spirit of Sen. Obama, that they condemn, that Sen. Obama will condemn such language since it was a part of his campaign," McCain said. "But that kind of language is unnecessary for this campaign. I think its very clear how I feel about war and my experiences with it."
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday McCain should not have been described that way.
"John McCain is not a warmonger and should not be described as such. He's a supporter of a war that Senator Obama believes should have never been authorized and never been waged," she said.
Obama's campaign also notes Schultz is not an official supporter of the campaign and was asked to speak by the North Dakota Democratic Party, not the Obama campaign.

Fucking Christ - the insults for this election are pretty pathetic. "Warmonger"? People called John Kerry much worse in 2004 (and people have been calling Bush a "warmonger" and worst since 2003).

And when folks are waging a war on the definitions of words, well, you can tell that they're far gone. That they want to restructure reality, or else people will see them for what they are.
It'd be cool to see such a sly speaker like Obama take on McCain. I mean, McCain, Hillery, the other politicians - they're all the same, just hurling blocks at each other. But Obama's eloquent and to see the contrast would be so cool. Since McCain is inept.
