Madonna is an aging, fading entertainer. Always superficial, she now has to grab whatever little attention she can get by using these low-rent tactics. It's pathetic.

Cheryl, Denver,

I don't go to a concert to hear political stances, I go to enjoy the music - thus the reason for never seeing Madonna.

Angie, Detroit, Michigan, USA

you can call it liberalism. it's everywhere. in europe and america! liberalism is pure evil. i would expect nothing less from madonna or david gilmour! liberalism is destroying this country. at least we don't have to have a tv permit to watch television here, robbie in wales!

Dave, Nebraska, USA

I'm no McCain supporter but it's a silly comparision. It's also cheap and not in the slightest bit clever. Controversial is giving it too much credit. She's simply just starting to smell bad. Actually I have to admit I've never liked her. I hope her stupidity damages herself.

Chris K., London,

I think Her Majesty rightly condemned the republican party. They are completely ridiculous and America can simply not afford another 4 years of intellectually going back in time. I mean, the beliefs of an average American these days are compatible with beliefs of people in medi evil britain.

Robbie, Cardiff, Wales

Madonna says we can’t allow McCain to win because it won’t fix the country. But we can fix the country. We can fix the country by not following Madonna.

Mike, seattle,

I think she sings what she thinks....I wouldn't call it "she's gone too far"....Ive been to a concert and it was just great!!! some controversy is always good and attracts people to talk on a particula subject!

Isabel, london, UK

Freedom of speech is great until someone says something you don't like.

B, Beacon,

Is that Mickey Mouse as in the character created by famous Nazi sympathiser Walt Disney?

Think before you speak, like Brent from Chicago.

MJ, WGC, UK

Madonna always do the same in every tour, so, really, it isn't that surprising.

Francisco Carlos, Almeria, Spain

Steve,

You're talking about the people who are going to vote for McCain, right?

Joris, Woerden, Holland

Why is anyone surprised when people who aren't very smart do things that aren't very smart?

Steve, Orlando, USA

madonna has the right to think and say whatever she wants to - that's what freedom of thought, expression and speech gives us in this country. whether one agrees or disagrees with her statements makes no never mind.
before anyone did anything, madonna did everything.

joscelyn, london,

Madonna is entitled to her opinions just as much as any of us are. Clearly she has her head on straight if she's supporting Obama over McCain. I'm a Republican who has never voted for anyone outside my party, but this year I will be crossing party lines and voting for Obama.

Steve, Cottonwood Heights, USA

Voting for McCain. . .AND a firm believer in Madonna's right to free thought.

Ed, NJ, USA

How about Mao, killer of countless millions, or Stalin, who tried to match him, and both outclassing Hitler, for a change? The killers of the left rather than the right. Or doesn't that have the same resonance for you, material girl?

Paul Freeman, London , England

I think that its terrible that Madonna doesn't even live in the U.S., talks with a fake british accent and now suddenly has an interest in U.S. politics only as a way to generate more controversy to draw more attention to her and her overpriced concert tickets!

Jen, Chicago, USA

Speaks Democrat and votes Republican - that to me sums up MADONNA !!!!!!!!

ian payne, WALSALL,

When will this woman give it a rest? Her political statements were always misguided but she was younger & altogether more forgivable then. This just smacks of celeb-idiocy in the highest at a time when it just isn't popular to show us all how out of touch you really are.

Lydia, London, UK

I guess where she lacks in actually being able to sing she needs to make up for it in other areas just so that people still talk about her. I don't really care where she stands politically.

Franziska, Sevenoaks, UK

Madonna is a keen business woman but has always lacked the dance skills of any of Pan's People or even the voice and looks of the one and only MM. I am sure Obumma deserves her and the Kennedy Clan (remeber Joe Kennedy trying to run down Britain in WW 2 before he was sacked as Ambassor!

Major John Prendergast, Stafford, Britain

Disappointed in Madonna....that's all I'll say.

Susan, West Chester, USA

They say McCain is too old for the job. I'd say the same is true for Madonna....

J Reece, Truckee, California, US

She's only doing it to get publicity - ignore her.

Liz, London,

What is the big deal if Madonna insults Mcbush? When you pay for apples you get apples or worse oranges. Tell McBUSH to stop hidding behind his Viet nam experience. Being a military hero is not a criteria for good leadership or foreign experience.

Christy , George Town, Cayman Islands

All we need now is Mr, "if Bush wins the White House I will move out of the United States", Baldwin to get behind Obama, and McCain will be a shoe in.

Patrick, Kitchener, Canada

Way to go Madonna.
It's no wonder the media and so many people all together seem to express hate and dislike towards her-she actually takes a risk by saying and doing things people don't want to see and think about.

kanejk, Bloomington,

Madonna has gone too far. For someone who professes to be spiritual - studying Kabbalah - goes to Israel as a guru of kabbalah and spirituality. To portray McCain as a Hitler is a slap in the face to the entire Jewish community worldwide. Who's next Madonna - Mickey Mouse?

Ellen, Los Angeles, USA

No one has any right to judge a performance art piece without viewing it.
I'm sure the message is much deeper than McCain = evil, Obama = good.
Brent, Chicago, USA

Your talking about Madonna here.....

Joss, Bedford, UK

She's hitting the senior age...repeating the same old stuff.

mary, detroit, USA

Now wonder Madonna's home is in some sort of a castle....

Ian, Madison, USA

If Madonna is against John McCain, then he must be doing something right.

Ben, Netcong, NJ

"Nona threats of physical violence against liberals has been happening in rural Republican areas for ages"

how would you know that?

im originally from those republician areas. i have never once seen violence toward liberals, nor do i know anybody who has been the victim or violence. for ages??

tyler, seattle, united states

Typical Madonna, hitching her wagon to the hottest topic and being controversial to show that she's still relevant and 'radical', and just in time for the start of her world tour.

Pathetic. She and Liam Gallagher should have a punch up at the aiport, thus killing two old birds with 1 stone...

Wendy K, London, England

Madonna is a has been & this is typical of celebrities in the US. I bet she cant name anything Obama has done or plans on doing if he gets elected. Bush obviously hasn't been the best president, but since when did republicans =evil? I guess when Regan told Russia to tear down the wall that was bad?

Christopher, Brandon, FL, USA

It seems to win the American Presidency all you need is celebrities and hollywood actors supporting the other guy. If I was Obama I'd tell Clooney, Pitt, Spielberg, Madonna and whoever to head off and hitch their overenflated egos to some other poor suckers wagon.

Tom, Dublin,

Another fading self-indulgent member of the phoney glitteratti spouting off. What's new?
Don't such people have ANYTHING worthwhile to do?

James, jacksonville,

Is this the same Madonna who was preaching to her audiences to think for themselves and then told them what is best for them and the world? Oh purrlease! Controversy is her game and the McCain campaigners are biting. You can't hate someone who makes such great chips hehehe

Alex K, Manchester, UK

Who cares. It makes no difference. Nothing will change. There's only 99 months left until the environment reaches tipping point and only 5 years until there's no summer arctic ice cover. Obama or McCain the US will be 100% poised to drill the north pole as humanity slips to it's inevitable oblivion.

Rowg, Zurich, Switzerland

It is about time the liberals of the US fought back; Nona threats of physical violence against liberals has been happening in rural Republican areas for ages. Not so happy when the boot is on the other foot are you. This said any violence is a misappropriation of politics and it is utterly wrong.

Tom, Epsom,

Most Americans wait and see who the "CELEBS" back in an election...then vote for the other guy....most "CELEBS" are legends in their own minds! As for Madonna all this is strictly business...so you will pay attention to her....and she makes more money.....

Charles, Cary, USA

No one has any right to judge a performance art piece without viewing it.

I'm sure the message is much deeper than McCain = evil, Obama = good.

Brent, Chicago, USA

Mark, why should Obama denounce Madonna, if he does choose to respond he should say the say thing McMansions said when responding to the pack of lies Corsi wrote in his book about Obama: "you've got to have a sense of humour."

Lanos iceland, Berlin, Germany

This is typical of Obama supporters. McCain supporters in New York City are carefull - as threats of physical harm are common. Obama supporters are showing a feeling of entitlement that is not usual in a campaign. And this is just the start!.

Nona, New York City, USA

I'll tell you what is truly outrageous, it's the McCain mouthpieces using the words: "outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time" in relation to absolutely anyone else. The McCain bunch give solid example of the pot calling the kettle black.

Alberto, Calgary, Canada

I guess this is the kind of game that McCain and his staff enjoy.
After all, they started with the comparisons idea.
Madonna might not be all wrong. And she is a very smart woman, anybody with half decent brain can see that.

Amparo, Toronto, Canada

Madonna is older than McCain. She has to make controversy to keep public interest in dimming career.

wes, aurora, costa rica

Interesting that the McCain camp in criticising this still gets in a cheap attack on Obama in descibing Madonna et al as:
"his fellow worldwide celebrities"
Stop these cheap attacks, and start discrediting the inappropriate attacks by GOP supporters, and lets concentrate on the real problems

Damien, Cassatt, SC, USA

Hi,
The campaign of John McCain went head-to-head with Madonna today after the 50-year-old pop diva appeared to compare the Republican candidate to Hitler and Robert Mutable; How do you compare the decadence of the concerts of this lady, is this a reference for the democratic candidate ? In my opinion small minds should keep out of politics.
Regards Dr. Terence Hale

Terence Hale, zandvoort, Holland

Madonna is just another myopic entertainer with too much free time to come up with crazy theories and tell herself that the public needs to hear about them. I am by no means a die hard McCain supporter, but the man is definitely not a fascist. Madonna needs to get her news from a neutral source.

clark, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

That was a horrible disservice for Mr Obama. I hope he will distance himself from this inappropriate comparison.
