DENVER, COLORADO (AFP) - John McCain's campaign has hit back at Madonna after the pop diva kicked off her world tour with a concert that bracketed the US presidential candidate with Adolf Hitler.

McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds angrily condemned the segment of Madonna's concert in Cardiff on Saturday that appeared to draw a comparison between McCain, Hitler and Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe.

"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," Bounds said in a statement reported by Fox News.

"It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."

Madonna's apparent swipe at McCain came during a performance of the song "Get Stupid", when the Republican contender's image was flashed up alongside images of destruction and global warming as well as Hitler and Mugabe.

Towards the end of the song, pictures of Beatles star John Lennon, former US vice-president Al Gore, Indian Mahatma Gandhi and McCain's Democrat rival Barack Obama appeared.

kinda like the commercial w/Britney and Paris no?

Madonna is a ****tard. She should mind here own business and take care of her weirdo Kabbalah cult. Who the hell is gonna take their voting advice from Madonna???

Shut up and lip synch.

There is a difference between Dixie Chicks and Madonna...the Dixies have talent, Madonna has none

Madonna has her own cult now like Tom Cruise too

there should be a separation of state and entertainment, just like there exists between church and state...wait..its still there right??

I don't give a rat's ass what Madonna says but hey if I had the stage she had I think I would use it to tell others how I feel. Honestly how different is posting our opinions on boards or blogs from her showing hers on stage?

I do think it's funny that McCain's people are so twisted up about stuff like that. After all aren't we all entitled to our opinions rich or poor, well known or unknown?

Aren't most of us are smart enough to think on our own? Oh...wait...umm....haha
