Rhodes Claims McCain Was 'Well-Treated' In Vietnam

Quick, what's the most disgusting potential way to attack the McCain-Palin presidential ticket? After two weeks of conspiring to destroy Sarah Palin and her family, often through dishonest means, what could be worse than what we've already seen, right?

Well, if you thought the left side of talk radio and the blogosphere had sunk to fresh lows with that smear strategy, it's now clear they haven't even scratched the surface.

Enter syndicated libtalker Randi Rhodes, known for her previous unhinged skits, public spills, obscene rants and wild accusations.

Known as a particularly strident supporter of Barack Obama, Rhodes seems to think even John McCain's six year period of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese is fair game. In fact, Randi has turned it into a game, one of POW denial.

All for the greater good, right?

During the first hour of Friday's Randi Rhodes Show, she had this to say about McCain's sacrifices during the Vietnam War (clip follows immediately thereafter):

RHODES: Of course he (McCain) became very friendly with the Vietnamese. They called him the Prince. He was well treated actually. And he was well treated because he traded these propaganda interviews for good treatment. So look, it's a horrible story anyway you cut it, anyway you look at it, any way you you you deal with it.

...I’m guessing the guys at Guantanamo are treated better than the Viet Cong treated their POWs.

Rhodes is wrong on everything - that’s part of the reason that her station is in the toilet...

Rhodes has been watching too many episodes of “Hogan's Heroes.”

Seems she has gone so ‘wetbrain’ that she can’t tell the difference between John Mc and Jane Fonda.

Glad she is stumping for O’Drama.

... Then she walked out of the tavern, fell down drunk on her face, broke her front teeth out, and blamed it on a black mugger.

So Randi Rhodes walks into a bar and says, "Ouch!"

Right wing critics blamed for her injuries.

She must have been talking about Sen. John Kerry. I heard that he fought in Vietmam.

I have stood in the Hanoi Hilton in downtown Hanoi.

Believe me, John McCain was not treated well.

Despite other differences with McAmnesty, this one needs to be smacked down without mercy.
