Rachel Maddow Delicately, Methodically Tears Senator McCain Apart Limb From Limb

video
» 68 comments

Last night Rachel Maddow showed no mercy in her attempt to destroy any shreds of credibility Senator John McCain might have remaining.  What sparked her fuse was McCain’s 59th appearance on Meet the Press where he expressed his reluctance to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell until all the proper studies have been completed.

Oftentimes the method of using a politician’s past interview footage to discredit their current position can be a mixed bag.  For instance, if in 2004 McCain said he would not vote to extend tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, but today wants an extension of those cuts, does that make him a hypocrite?  Arguably no, since six years later a worsened economy might justify favoring a different tax policy.

However, McCain becomes much harder to defend when he contradicts himself on so many other issues, as Maddow documents he does with cap and trade, immigration reform, and most alarmingly, with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, as he randomly changes his mind between military leaders, Congress, and those currently serving, regarding which constituency should ultimately decide when the time is right for its repeal.

After Maddow’s onslaught of McCain’s video contradictions, she triumphantly concludes, “Senator John McCain’s stances on legislation and important policy issues and principles are so fundamentally inconsistent as to render the phrase flip-flop meaningless.  And yet John McCain is still viewed as a Washington oracle, as a guy you’ve got to win over.  If you do fail to win him over though, don’t worry, a new John McCain might come along any minute now and maybe you will have better luck with him.”

Given that conservatives probably rank McCain as one of their least favorite Republicans and that liberals will never forgive him for thrusting Sarah Palin into the national spotlight, it seems the only group of people Maddow needs to convince that McCain is no longer a credible “oracle” are her colleagues in the media who will not stop interviewing him.  That means you David Gregory; please refrain from inviting McCain for a 60th appearance and help McCain avoid creating even more painful sound bites. 

Until then, don’t worry too much for McCain, he will always have the support of his loyal Twitter pal Snooki who just yesterday thanked him for his birthday wishes.

    I have to say I don’t understand the media’s fondness for Gramps. And, Ms. Maddow is correct. Gregory seems to be obsessed with this conflicted, untethered angry old coot. I honestly don’t care what Gramps says, because it will change before the end of the show.

    Stewart had a good segment on Gramps’ constantly changing positions, with a bit of a barb at Cindy for her DADT Two Step. Basically, the two need all of those houses they own to story all their different positions.

    LOL, we always said he was a flip flopper and you give credit to Maddow. LOL.
    Now as to DADT, I don’t care because I am not in the military. If they take a vote and the majority of our military people support openly gays, let them have it. They should decide. I know what they will decide and it won’t be what the media and Maddow wants.
    I think if they want everyone to know they are gay we should give them pink uniforms and then everyone will know, even the enemy.

    “And yet John McCain is still viewed as a Washington oracle…”

    Better a flip flopper than a guy who left a woman to drown in her car, or a former *good ol’ boy just trying to get elected* KKK member.

    But you’re right – no love lost on anyone in the Republican party. It kind of seems like a waste of her time…

    When you’ve got nothing, attack others to prop yourself up. Give her time and she’ll be attacking Jerry’s Kids.

    Do you really think that’s an appropiate headline Matt , considering McCain’s POW/torture experience ?

    I dunno , maybe it’s me…

  • Harry Flashman

    As much as agreeing with Maddow about anything breaks me out in a rash I’m glad she called out this RINO. That being said, however, she needn’t gloat because it wasn’t exactly investigative journalism at its finest.

    It was a slam dunk and should have been done long ago by any number of her esteemed colleagues.

    I will answer that murf…No it is not an appropriate headline. It is disrespectful to John McCain and every former POW and for that matter every active duty or vet. But people like this writer really don’t care…they can set in their basement and write prose to criticize a living war hero.

    Only 721 Days left….. Then….”thank god allmighty, we will be free at last!”

    Take a stance in any way not enthusiastically in support of repeal of DADT, gay marriage, gay “rights”, gay pride, gay parades, gays in movies, openly gay TV shows, more gays in public service, gay cruises, gay bars, or gay “Paree”, and expect the unleash of the wrath of Rachel. It seems to be the only issue she is passionate about, everything else she bitches about is an offshoot of “gay issues.”

    Why is this man always so angry?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andy-Lamb/1085325013 Andy Lamb

    Something Rachel considers much less important that the repeal of DADT –

    Since Obama took office, a staggering 3.5 trillion (that’s TRILLION) dollars has been added to the national debt. If McCain had been elected instead, there is absolutely no doubt that number would be much less. But yeah, DADT is a much more critical issue to the country as a whole.

    The military did hire outside polling firms to conduct a comprehensive survey which included the combat theatres as well as domestic bases. The results were 71% favoring the repeal of DADT. Given the relative youth of the services, that sounds about right to me. Homophobia tends to be strongest among old buzzards of our age.

    (Watch Gordon the blow hard with a show claim that this OPINION is a lie.)

    Speaking of, Gordon the blow hard with a show, you STILL haven’t pointed to anything that I’ve claimed here or on The Glenn Beck Review which is, in your arrogant opinion, a “lie.” Every time I ask for an example, all I get is either the stupid idea that my desire to sue you for defamation of character, which is being pursued, was a “lie,” or the sound of crickets:

    I think that was an important factor in the election. His anger was palpable and the source of many comments. All of his language was combative, which is understandable given his background, but it seemed to be more that metaphorical.

    I’m not at all sure that is true. Remember that Raygun is the father of modern American deficit spending, that W ran up huge deficits and that W ushered in the stimulus bill. I’m guessing, given the profligate spending of mainstream Republicans, and their simultaneous propensity to slash revenues, the deficit would have been as high or higher.

    I’m not sure what point is made by your constant reharvesting of these matters, and I certainly find your callous disregard for the feelings of Ms. Kopenchne’s family rather mean-spirited, but I will focus on the relevant issue, Gramps. “Flip-flopping” is too gentle a word to describe his modus. He is erratic, at times pandering, at time responding to little voices no one else hears, at times simply taking a position against something simply out of a personal grudge against those for it. He’s pathological. And, even more to the point, the media needs to stop enabling him.

    They did not ask THE question. You have no idea what you are talking about AGAIN. That survey was set up to get the result they wanted. Take a VOTE, secret ballot.
    Then you can go door to door in Austin with rainbow ribbon. Go to Fort Hood and tell them you support open gays in the military. You have so much influence in Texas, that should put it over the top.
    It is funny people like you keep telling us that the majority of the people support gay marriage but everytime the PEOPLE get to vote they reject it.

    I don’t think I ever mentioned gay marriage, and I have no idea what that has to do with DADT.

    Obviously, however, your “leave it to the troops” mantra is just another pile on your immense Kart ‘o Krap.

    For what it’s worth, Fort Hood is about 60 miles from my house. On a clear day, I still can’t see it from my porch because of a rather immense hill, but my wife and I have done some volunteer work on the base. Coordinating and contributing and securing contributions for travel to hospitals and physical therapy facilities. In some instances for funerals. You know, things Rumsfeld and Cheney ran from and refused to fund. I can assure you, DADT isn’t even on these fine people’s minds. I think the only people who even seriously object are those who long for time in steamy communal showers with soapy naked men and in their own homoerotic musings have to take a stand lest others read their minds.

I think everytime someone says this they are demeaning the others whose names are never mentioned. Please, McCain is an angry old man whos time has come and gone. The fact that I ever considered voting for him is nuts. There is no one (even in his own party) that respects his decisions after this Palin mess he has brought on the country.

  • newzmaker

    Why doesn’t Maddow live her life privately, as most people do, and stop constantly begging for ‘acceptance’ for her lifestyle? As long as she accepts herself as she is, she shouldn’t fret over what others think. Live and let live.

    Sara (who loves America so much that she lives in a foreign country where she benefits from government healthcare) can’t refute any of the facts in Maddow’s report so she decides to attack two men who are dead and can’t defend themselves based events that happened over 40 years ago.

    List them again, now Gordon the blow hard with a show. Because if you don’t list what you are calling “lies” for us here right now, then I have no way to showing what a moron you are. To wit:

    I said that I would sue you for slander and defamation of character. Let’s say I promised that I would sue you for lying about me even though I only asserted that I would. If I then assess the situation, if I realize that suing you for everything you own would end up having me pay a lawyer $5,000 get obtain your semen-stained poster of Ann Coulter, then I change my mind, your assertion “THAT was a LIE” only tells readers that you don’t know the difference between someone breaking a promise and someone lying.

    That you don’t know that difference, that you accuse me of lying for not proceeding with a justifiable lawsuit against you, doesn’t make me a liar, Gordon the blow hard with a show, IT MAKES YOU AN IDIOT!

    In no understanding is changing one’s mind about how to proceed against a scum bag like you equal or equivalent to deception or a lie. Only a moron would make that assertion, a moron or a blow hard with a show.l

  • lane

    First, considering McCain is a former POW who endured years of unspeakable torture for the honor of his country, your headline is really ridiculous and insulting to any veteran. Insulting to those of us who honor their sacrifice and appreciate that we’re free because of our military and military veterans.

    As to the subject, McCain and Lieberman are very popular amongst independents, the group that drives elections nowadays. Independents don’t watch Maddow, she’s only popular on the far left. She speaks, you listen. Independents don’t.

    I”m not sure what the record is for mistakes in an article, but so many in this article. conservatives LOVE sarah Palin. Her numbers are ‘off the charts’ amongst republicans. It’s the independents she hasn’t won. And the establishment fear her. She’s not going to listen to DC-based strategists and party leadership, so while they love her popularity in the republican base, she is a maverick through-and-through. .

    As to DADT, the entire military has gone back-and-forth on it. Colin Powell supported DADT and only recently felt the military was ‘ready’ for the change. Even amongst active leadership there’s much disagreement and evolving views about DADT.

  • equaljustice4u

    This is bugging me……you have a gal who thinks she’s a guy wearing an empty bra sporting a bad haircut in a cheap suit……having the audacity to demean one of our military heroes……it is 100% absurd and she should be told to keep her ugly trap shut when it comes to ANY ONE of our troops/military……….let her stay with her forte, lesbian tricks and toys.

    Actually many conservatives think that she’d gt creamed in 2012 by Obama. It’s reactionaries who “love” Palin. She lies, they believe her. She spews a series of disconnected one liners, the reactionaries applaud.

    People need to learn the difference between conservatives like the old McCain and reactionaries like the new McCain. Conservatives want to maintain the status quo; reactionaries want to return to some perceived golden age of the past. Beck, then, is a classic reactionary where as McCain is a Johnny-come-lately.

    Rachel went through the whole riggamarole only to get to her real issue of DADT, this is what is pissing her off… If she cared about all of the other things she went through before getting to DADT, John McCain would’nt have been her target… It’s all about DADT to her… And DADT, has been off the radar lately… Thats all this was…

    The blog you link to correctly points out that the debt went up under Bush, Clinton, and Reagan as well. It also correctly points out that not all of the debt accumulated in the last 2 years can be blamed on Obama. For the sake of a better comparison, let’s look at Bush’s first 2 years. When Bush took office, the debt was $5.7 trillion, in January 2003 it was $6.4 trillion, an increase of 12.2%. When Obama took office, the debt was $10.5 trillion. Today, only 1 year 10 months in, the debt is $13.7 trillion, an increase of over 30% in 22 months. That is simply HUGE.

    The last time this country saw such a huge increase, % wise, in the debt was under FDR. In 1919, the national debt was $27 billion. In 1932, when FDR took office, the debt had actually dropped to under $20 billion. When FDR died in 1945 the debt had ballooned to $259 billion. 1300%. Amazing.

    FDR, more than any other President before him, exploited the country’s economic crisis – the depression and WW II – to bloat the size and power of government. Roosevelt urged that the federal government was the only solution to crises, and only his New Deal legislation could “save the country.” It’s no wonder that Obama is compared to him so frequently.

    DOWN 8%!

    Now why the Hell would Maddow want to do that? Tear McCain limb from limb? What is her point? There are lots of people who oppose DADT and a lot for DADT. What? Can’t Maddow find anyone else to interview? I am tired of her smug remarks and comments that look totally phony in the first place.

    OK Jason, you’re a “mature” adult: how do you respond when someone repeatedly calls you a liar but cannot come up with any facts to back the claim up?

    Every time I ask Gordon the blow hard with a show to back up his claim, all I hear is the sound of crickets.

    I’m making a point about the sleazy tactics that Gordon the blow hard with a show uses.

    What you call “childish” seems to have worked. Gordon has backed off his baseless assertion that I lie. I may just have to start referring to him as Gordon Bloyer again.

    I am tired of people acting as if John McCain is the only person that was tortured during the war. I think everytime someone says this they are demeaning the others whose names are never mentioned. Please, McCain is an angry old man whos time has come and gone. The fact that I ever considered voting for him is nuts. There is no one (even in his own party) that respects his decisions after this Palin mess he has brought on the country.

    I agree. It seems anyone saying a thing against John McCain is considered a low life because the man was tortured. Its maddening to read the comments about poor old John McCain. That we should be ashamed for daring to say a thing against the man. Have to remember what he went through as a POW before we speak blah blah blah!
    Its true. What about all the the others who were tortured? Who speaks for them? Who ever bothers to speak of them? I guess they don’t really count, unless they act the same way as McCain did and still does. Return home, quickly dump the wife as she no longer meets his “expectations” after a car accident. Take up with a younger rich mistress, divorce the wife as soon as possible, marry the rich young mistress, so she can now, pay his way in life.
    Give me a break. The man is a cur & a leech, nothing more.

    OK, now I get it, and I am laughing my arse off now. You said that……….”during the second year of Obama’s presidency, the deficit went down 8%. DOWN 8%!………

    I found the 8% figure in a Washington Post article, where they quoted the Obama administration saying “The U.S. federal budget deficit in the first half of fiscal 2010 is down 8 percent from the same period a year ago.” So, the record budget defecit of almost $900 billion in first half of 2009 wasn’t quite met in the first half of 2010, where the defecit was “only” about $800 billion.

    Sir, (I’ll be nice and not call you dummy) spending only $800 billion in 6 months rather than $900 billion in 6 months does not mean that “the defecit went down 8%!!!” Stick with the Beck fantasies, OK?

    You’re cherry picking again. A top rate much higher than we have now will help. We also need cuts in spending, mostly by reducing the strategic footprint and redesigning the military to fight the war that we’re fighting instead of war with Russia.

    I’m well aware that there can be too many taxes on the rich, but we’re no where near that now. We need to stimulate demand. Companies have money to invest, but there’s no demand for the products.

    Back to the reduction in deficit under Obama. You actually pointed to it:
    “Federal budget defecit in 2009 – $1.3 trillion
    Estiimated budget defecit in 2010 – $1.24 trillion”

    I’ll point to an article that says the deficit will go down 20%, but it’s still the third highest ever.
    http://www.latimes.com/business/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-us-budget-deficit,0,5715949.story

    You can try to protect the rich from paying their fair share, but the American people aren’t that stupid. Taxes need to go up for the rich, and wasteful spending needs to go down.

    You are a phony intellect and Gordon is not the only one who has caught you in telling lies. You may not be as stupid as Glenn Beck Review or Nachi, but you’re pretty darned close.

    As for the headline

    “Rachel Maddow Delicately, Methodically Tears Senator McCain Apart Limb From Limb”

    Matt Schneider, you have no future in journalism. Maybe magazine sales door-to-door should be your vocation. Maddow is a gutless snipe, and I think you must know it. Anyone with the intelligence of the liberal idiots who post on this site (well, with the possible exception of Nachi) could do a decent hit job on someone if they were not there to respond to the lies being told about them.

    All in all, this site is a waste of time. Reading the remarks of the few liberal and conservative people who post here is not worth wading through the crap posted by others.

    So long you bunch of sad sacks.

    While your adolescent language conveys your utter lack of maturity, your lies convey your utter lack of honesty. Many Democratic strategists are telling Obama not to run in 2012 because Palin would defeat him? You seriously make such an absurd claim and think that you’re seen as honest or serious?

    Next, regarding The Glenn Beck Review: I challenge you the same way I challenge Gordon the blow hard with a show. Specifically point to what you think I have factually wrong. You think that I “state nothing but lies” only tells us that you’re one of Beck’s brainwashed sheep. Name one fact that I have wrong and prove it.

    You think, for example, that Soros helped “send the Jews to the death camps?” That was a crass, crude and ugly lie, and Beck has yet to acknowledge it. On every actual news network, Beck would have been fired multiple times by now, but on the ideologically driven propaganda outlet, FoxPAC, Beck — the mentally unstable, but convincing liar — thrives.

    This is as much a bad reflection on Fox as Beck’s lies are a bad reflection on his “honor.”

    So c’mon Blind Window, name one “lie” from the Review.

    Wow, why is Mediaite run rampant with misogynists and homophobes? This is why I generally try to avoid reading comments on sites like this, as trolls and sociopaths like those seen here are enough to sink your faith in humanity.

    equaljustice4u, whose insipid and childish hatred I won’t repeat, makes it perfectly clear that he’s never had a relationship with a woman of any kind. Hopefully it’s a result of his mother being absent, as it’d be a shame for her to have failed so alarmingly at raising a child.

    But here’s some news for him, gordonbloyershow, and the other anti-gay and misogynist trolls here – you’re dying, and so are all the other people like you. And so, therefore, are your disgusting views. Society reaches towards progress, always. The youngest generation is more progressive and accepting than any before it, and so will the one after that. You and your views are dying, and no one will miss you.
