Today's TRMS
Obama's best chance for winning in November might just be John McCain. Or rather, John McCain's campaign, the most poorly managed, embarrassingly outmaneuvered campaigns since Katherine Harris ran for Senate. So on today's show Rachel will be running through the litany of missteps and miscalculations, from the canceled visit to an oil platform during a hurricane to his backward timeline on the surge and the Sunni awakening.
Our first guest is Ilan Goldenberg from the National Security Network. Later John Amato from Crooks and Liars joins Rachel to talk about CBS
news editing out John McCain's mistake on Iraq -- and also about the Blue America pac's campaign against the rightwing "Freedom's Watch"
pac. Learn more about Blue America here.
Iraq/Pakistan Gaffe
I had several right wing co-workers tell me today that this was no gaffe. This was the son of Cain THREATENING Iran with total destruction.
Also, the whole media thing worked like this.
All the media focuses on Obama, working together to uncover a gaffe.
Nobody focuses on McCain's gaffes (except Air America/nova M/Olbermann)
The idea by the media owners is that these people will find something to drag Obama down, while leaving McCain alone.
Once you realize the media is conservative, everything fits into place, including the CBS switcheroo, which was meant to cover for 'Sprinkes' McCain .
Race for the White House has a pro McCain slant too, if you listen to it. Only Rachel represents the pro-Obama side. That is not fair.
