I wish this clip ran a bit longer to show Buchanan try to spin, fail, and be smacked down by Rachel again (to more roaring cheers of course).

i dont think rachel is a journalist,,, i believe she is a commentator.

she can have an opinion cant she? isnt it journalists who are supposed to remain unbiased?

[turkey5002]

Let me guess, Maddow is for Obama.

i cannot belive the utter contempt of these so called hack job journalist, racheal maddow, i understand she dosent share the views of mcCain but to say hes playing the POW card somebody should drag her ass to a prison camp for five yrs,,,,,disgusting! God Bless John MCain for his service to country!

That's why that will never be an Obama campaign slogan :)

I honestly think an hour of Rachel could do at least a little to help re-frame issues and get more facts into the debate. Maybe.

And this may sound controversial, but Obama (and his surrogates) have got to stop saying "We honor John McCain's service" etc etc before going on to critique his foreign policy. They've said it enough, we all agree, we get it. Their attacks will resonate more if they don't begin by playing McCain's trump card.

I agree that Rachel was right in this interview, but being a POW is a more salient point than saying someone is using it to political advantage.

Think about this: "Vote for me, because I'm a POW!"

"Vote for me, because the other guy is misrepresenting his status as a POW!"

I'm voting for Obama, but this is Obama's greatest challenge in this election: how can he make the American people believe that his opponent is dead-wrong, besides being a POW? The American public doesn't go by facts.

If I were there I'd be cheering too. It is very tiring and frankly disgusting to see McCain exploit this to counter any possible unrelated criticism. Why can't he just answer a question straight?

[cosmlayla]

John McCain why are you so nasty?

Because I was a POW.

Go Rachel!!!
