Graham argued Israel would be justified in obliterating Gaza because America did it to Japan 80 years ago.

    He’s really gone of the deep end. I mean, he’s always been a bit all over the place, esp wrt to Trump, but wow…

      Team Trump obviously has the goods on Lindsey. There is literally no other good explanation.

        I think Graham is just a sleazy politician and knows it will give him more clout. Republicans who have taken a stand against Trump have mostly ended their careers; it’s been a surprising amount of courage from some individuals I didn’t think were capable.

        Lindsey Graham doesn’t have brain worms, he is the brain worm.

          If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it. 5:03 PM · May 3, 2016

            Yep. And he was plenty eager to flop like the spineless worm he is when the time came.

        This really isn’t off the deep end for him. He’s said atrocious things for decades.

      This really isn’t all that different from his old friend and former presidential candidate John McCain (dodged a bullet there), singing ‘Bomb Iran’ to the tune of the Beach Boys’ ‘Barbara Ann.’

        I’m pretty sure that McCain was referencing this 1980 spoof:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Vance_%26_the_Valiants

        Yeah, the Wiki page says so too:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb_Iran

        “Bomb Iran” (or “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran”) is the name of several parodies of the Regents’ 1961 song “Barbara Ann”, originally written by Fred Fassert and popularized in a “party” cover version by the Beach Boys in 1965. The most popular of the parodies was recorded by Vince Vance & the Valiants in 1980. “Bomb Iran” gained a resurgence in notoriety in 2007 during John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.

          I’m not sure why that makes a difference.
