Countdown: McCain's Townhall Incident With Vietnam Vet

Well it looks like my video made it's way onto Countdown. Good for you Rachel for finally reporting this. I'm glad at least one place in the MSM did. Rachel reports on McCain's dust up with the Vietnam vet at his town hall meeting in Denver. Paul Rieckhoff from IAVA weighs in on McCain's voting record for veterens and that he was warned how dangerous it would be for him politically to go against Webb's GI Bill before he did it.

McCain does this a lot - he just flat out lies without a snipet of reasoning or explanation.

Right on. Keep up the honesty patrol. The GOP spin doesn't work anymore.

Mc does not support veteran issues. He opposes everything they try to accomplish - why? And he attacks Jim Webb who is a sponsor of the bill? Is Mc nuts? Mc has used his military service as a keystone in his campaign but wants everyone to ignore the fact that he has opposed anything that would help military people. He is the Manchurian Candidate.

Shouldn't a competent & qualified candidate BE PREPARED to answer these sort of confrontational questions from the voting public? Shouldn't he have seen this one coming?

I've seen McCain REPEATEDLY caught off guard like this, and then pretending to himself: 'He didn't just ask that...that didn't just happen.'

It makes me wonder how sharp his mind is- it seems to add credence to critics who target his age.

I was open to McCain initially, but that's no longer the case.

McSame got pwned big time.

McCain = Bush

[wavetothefuture]

He avoided that question completely!!!

McCain got OWNED... again.
