Maddow vs Buchanan on McCain Playing the POW Card

[bluegrassreb1]

so since he is rich and has a number of houses he is not electable? Only some dike would shit on a POW and then be proud of her self. Libs hate successful americans. That is almost the defination of libs.

[JDnx]

oh pat...

[Novinte]

It's a speech dumb PAT!

[Antichrys]

Pat Buchanan...you almost convinced me when you said marrying a beer heiress after coming from a war and gaining seven houses/mansions was considered an American Success story....lmao.

[Novinte]

that was awesome, he wanted to make a joke LMAO

[supremejuice]

Fkn right why the fuk did McCain always say that shit??

[laniwilliamson]

Go Rachel!

[EVHSlightReturn]

We have to hear how hard a life Obama/Michelle had...multi millionaires now & beneficiaries of Affirmative Action;Displacing two white males for their spots in college.Obama's oddly coincidental & numerous connections w/suspect people are much more relevant to discuss than trying to pick apart McCain because he doesn't know how many places his wife has(They have a more independent marriage than most & that's their business).Trivial questions that Liberal Media never sandbag Obama or Biden with.

[micamous3]

WOOOOOOW!

why do you automatically assume it was a white persons spot and it was purely affirmative action?

there are a lot of people that go to those schools who do not deserve to be there but their parents can pay for it. Why don't you talk to them?

[eddiesade]

what about legacies? how many spots have those underserving (mainly rich and white) stolen from others?

[D2Duehren]

McCain is a coward.

Only a cowardly candidate would use his ancient past as a POW to avoid answering tough reporter questions.

If he becomes president, will he hide behind that skirt whenever things get tough - or maybe he'll hide behind his VP's skirt as he is now, only going to public functions with Palin.

The man has sold his soul in his attempt to become president. We don't need another liar in the White House.

I used to like the guy, but now he makes me sick.

[sbenson43]

MSNBC needs to get rid of these one dimensional pundits.

[postaldriver]

I have some thoughts: John McCain got shot down. McCain didn't get promoted while being a POW. He collaborated with the North Vietnamese.Upon release McCain Received 22 medals for distinguished service.His daddy was the Admiral of the navy. This my friends was clearly a coverup.What happen to all the other POW's that came home.Oh! I know.They didn't have a Adriral dad.Most of them were not compromised by the enemy. Wow! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see what happened here.

[firefox962]

McBUSH will destroy our ECONOMY further! He wants to be in war with Iraq for EVER!! Fuck McCain and all his rich lobbiests... stop playing the POW card, stop taking advantage of the middle class.... McBUSH will be our ruin

[howdyhowdy5]

I fully support POWs and sympathize with what they have been through. I am 100% red-blooded American. No one is belittling POWs or vets, people.

But McCain is clearly using his POW as a crutch. Pleeeeeese, John, stop talking about your 40-year old scars!!

[indyleftist]

Can't wait for Rachel's show

Although the days when someone will make a real anti-war argument on a news show is far off

What I would love to see is someone say that since John McCain volunteered for Vietnam, killed civilians, participated in propaganda videos when captured, and supports torture for POW's far worse than what he received that he is not a hero.

The people who refused to fight were the real heros

[eljefereal]

Pat: It's prepared! Scripted!

Norah: Well of course it's scripted, it's a speech!

[DAVIDSILVERCA]

I LOVE RACHEL MADDOW!!!!

[jozz200]

yes she is a good one fo' sure!! Concise and her interpretation of politics is below none.

[jupiterstarmoonchild]

The Real McCain Ran Out On His Family When he returned from service a Wife who stood by him for a 21 year old rich slut who knew he was married. The Real McCain sold his soul to the Neo Con's for the election as has flip flop on almost every issue. McCain= Bush are you ready for the real McCain...

[LAR918]

Liberal do not respect POW, heroes, country, they don't realize they live on U.S.A,and they will pay the consequences.

[Obamathebest08]

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

Bush = Mccain!!! No way. No how. No McCain!

McCain the "Maverick" can't shake the neocons!

McCain is Big Oils little Bitch!

OBAMA - BIDEN '08

[vukorob]

I'm 100% disabled as the result of my combat experience in Viatnam but I have nothing but gratitude, just to be alive. To be any less than grateful would be a total affront to the scores of thousands who never made it home alive as well as their friends and families.

[johnedwards1968]

That's a wonderful, and admirable attitude. It doesn't sound like you use your service as a crutch. I think that's why people are starting to find McCain's defense-mechanism so offensive.

[jpbalkenende]

Pat: "Why don't you call him and say he's making a mistake Rachel!"

I have to admit, for the out of touch old fart that Pat is he's pretty funny. Oh yeah Maddow you are real concerned with McCain's campaign alright ;)

[NvikIngsN]

The Republican party at work. You can't say He plays the POW card, because it'll make you look like your not Patriotic. The same thing they used back in 2004. If you were against the war your not Patriotic...

[SatwaMan]

McCain.

Close to worst pilot in his graduating class.

Only got in there because of Daddy's bigshot military influence.

Shot down in Vietnam because he is a shitty pilot.

Came home, divorced his sick wife, and married a millionairess and works for the big corporations

[pineapple1512]

AMEN General!!

[MongoMcMichael]

Pat makes a great point. I'm for Obama, but the fact that McCain was a POW is going to be a tough fact to combat, regardless of if McCain is wrong.

"You like peanuts on your pizza? What's that about?"

"A few years ago, I wish I could have a pizza, let alone peanuts on it; however, a foreign government didn't like pizza."

This isn't a smear against Obama, but McCain willing to use anything to get elected, even if he did suffer one of the greatest hardships an American can endure.

[timmcfarland748]

Joe Biden should describe McCain's campaign as, "Noun. Verb. POW."

This is pathetic, and I would think there would be a backlash from other POWs soon.

[MonsterSound]

There has been some backlash by former POW's, but your'e unlikely to see it in the MSM.

[youngflymista]

their should be backlash against John McCain for playing the POW card too much.

[57544321]

The use of the POW card is getting very boring, as his use of My Dear Friends. I have counted them in his speeches and he repeats this over and over again. Start talking about things that are bad in our country right now. He is not a hero in my mind at all, the real heroes are the ones who have given their lives for our country.

[jonnanw]

Maureen Dowds Mom was right. He *does* get a pass on his marriage falling apart because of five years as a POW.

Obviously the two are inter-related. Fair Enough

But Rachel Maddow is also right. Having been a POW 30 years ago doesn't excuse playing an 'elitism' card because you opponent likes lettuce, and then having to ask your staff how many houses you have.

If you don't know how many houses you have, you want the elitism card left on the table no matter how many years you spent as a POW.

[TokyoNiGHTS1]

I see that Pat hasn't learned not to get into it with Rachel. This woman has made him look foolish on so many occasions that it's ridiculous. He should take a note from his good friend Joe Scarborough and avoid Rachel at all costs.

[ROOKTABULA]

Pat:

You Be One PWNED Repulickin'!

[phineastbuster]

This was a great lively discussion. I love Rachel, Pat and Gene.

Why did Olbermann have to ruin this video clip by coming on camera and bringing it crashing halt.

[ROOKTABULA]

You "love.. Pat"??!?

[phineastbuster]

Rooktabula: I am a equal opportunity offender.

[ROOKTABULA]

>;P

[ClunkityClunk4Truth]

I'm so happy Gramps McCain is being called on his overuse of the POW card.

[zzzxxyy]

The Democrats and Obama need to start getting tough NOW, to draw blood and stop being nice to these Republicans, who are sucking blood. Fight back, fight now, fight hard!

P.S. Fuck Pat Buchanan!

[mnwike]

This reminds me of a time lent money to a grocery store business. When it came to the deadline to pay, a few years later, he told me that his grandmother had died. I felt bad, so I left him and came back 2 months later, same excuse. It happened a third and fourth time. Then suddenly it dawned on me, "what the f**k does that have to do with what you owe me". I had to take him to court, turns out he could pay.

[eljefereal]

Noun, Verb, POW

Random note: It was Biden who came up with the original 'a noun, a verb, and 9-11' for Giuliani. Let's hope he can get that same sort of message to stick to McCain.

[kargenlewis]

pat is helping this country eat shit. are you stupid? want more of the same? f u

[jlarue69]

Hey Pat...

Their talking about the Obama's are talking about their life story...because few know what their story is.

They also have had to repeat this on many occasions, because of the baseless attacks on the Obamas' character and past.

Both Michelle and Barack went to school from their parents' hard earned savings, and scholarships. Once there, they excelled, unlike McCain and Bush who finished near the bottom of their classes...

[badbutt570]

Thanks for posting this.

[okiedragonlady2]

So if McCain becomes president and he decides to put the red button and blow Iran off the map, he can always tell Putin that he was a POW to save Putin from pushing back???

[cleo1994]

A colleague of mine always answers questions he doesn't like by saying:

"I was never given breast milk when I was a baby" Strangely enough it always stops us pursuing the question. I guess the same applies to McCain. John McCain is milking the POW cow very effectively, and gets away with it.

[Robguy66]

I have yet to see anyone come close to Rachel with a cohesive arguement and the facts to back it up. Buchanan should be put out to pasture.

[pralibaba]

is rachel maddow trying to intimidate rosie o'donnell? She looks, acts, and talks like a skinny rosie. maybe they were separated at birth.

[blowmonkey]

I think you mean imitate, but who knows.

I love rachel maddow :D

[turnsey]

Maybe you LIEberal DUMMYcRATS should stop smokin dope and teaching at our universities and get a REAL job and earn 7 houses and get tortured THEN ULL KNO NOT TO COMPLAIN BOUT MCCAIN

[checked08]

LIEberal DUMMYcRATS. awesome.

[episteme420]

You must hate truth

[bodah44]

so anyone who has been a POV has all the skills they need to be prez? face McCain thinks dumping his disabled wife for a young millionare is getting a REAL job! he didn't earn them he married into them

[eljefereal]

And besides. Being a POW means...

YOU WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO GET CAUGHT!

[axisboldas]

His plane was shot down...

[eljefereal]

And if that were the only aspect of the story I wouldn't say anything. But he was 6th from the bottom in his naval class. Prior to his POW time he'd lost 4 other planes.

What you are willing to go through for your country has very little to do with what you are going to do for it.

And yes, my info is from Vietnam Vets Against John McCain. But it's all factual. And it says far more than one $200 donation from a U of Chicago professor ever could.

[ROOKTABULA]

He lost 4 others. Unlike Bush, who dodged service, he was similarly incompetent....

[crazytvfan815]

Maybe it's because she's around her peers, but Rachel owned ass!

[Adnaana]

Yea!!! You are back. I love the videos you post about World Worst and Bushed. Thanks so much.

[frellthat]

Rudy Giuliani: Noun, verb, 9/11.

John McCain: Noun, verb, POW.

[ahmadeyad]

George Bush:Noun,Verb,Terrorists.

[PureFoley]

leway? it's called senility...and yes, you are allowed to be senile when you are 247 years old. GOBAMA!!

[PureFoley]

ya just beat me to it. "TruthnPolitics"??? Ironic don't you think? Is it just me or does pat remind you of the groundhog from caddyshack? He just seems to pop up out of nowhere, cause wanten destruction and run back to his safe little cave in bush's ass...if only we could load it with TNT and blow them both to smitherines...HE GOT ALL OF THAT ONE!!

[mmm413]

We have to remember how old Pat is. He's still in the Nixon age.

[mmm413]

The POW card has been played out.

[Scoppertop]

Loved the KO tee!

[GOneScUBa]

ily RACHEL! :D

[asdffd]

Rachel! Rachel!
