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.

the english language fails miserably in providing us with adequate words to describe "randi rhodes" (not her real name)

people convicted of capital crimes should be forced to listen to that shrill hag 24/7 until they die.

The banning of American literature due to insane political correctness has prevented these people from learning the valuable lessons contained in the Uncle Remus fables .

1/2 hour in a simulator would be all it takes. She’d be a quivering puddle of goo. What a malignant wreck of a human being is she.

The thing about scraping the bottom of the barrel is that the stuff looks like the bottom of the barrel. These attacks are so outrageous they're almost funny.

While Biden was hidin’ in law school, John McCain was living it up - partying with the NVA - sipping Mai Tai’s, surfing in the Gulf of Tonkin, etc. - or so Randi Rhodes would have us believe. I’ll bet neither Rhodes nor Biden nor 0bama could survive 24 hours in a tiger cage without cracking. Wow! What an idea for a pay-per-view. The three of them in tiger cages - the first one to crack has to retire to a monastery in northeastern Kazakstan (and never be heard from again).

Unthinkably low and pathetic smear. The Left coming completely unhinged.

I spit in the lying whore’s face.

The media-left has yet to answer for its betrayal and sell-out during the Vietnam War but the wheel has turned.

Better yet, the media traitors are too arrogant to stop boasting about their treason.

Justice will be done, and I will live to see it.

Actually — the Obama maniacs are giving most Americans their first REAL LOOK at who and what the LEFT has become.....

Most folks never realized that such illogical, moronic, lunatics were actually consuming oxygen in America.......then to learn they are also apologists for Islamists and that Obama is being championed by Islamists — may actually cause some of the dumb sonsovbitches to reconsider who they follow as heroes....

Obama is worse than an empty suit -— he’s a black racist who has played the racism scam in a corrupt Chicago gang controlled environment and accomplished little with all the advantages bestowed upon him in an Affirmative Action America....

A POX on his ass.....
He’s a traitor to America - regardless if they can ever prove he is a natural born citizen eligible to run for President.

We all know hate is what sustains these people. Without it they can’t justify their positions on issues. They literally feed on hate, it’s what fuels them.

Q: Name the the only person that has done more Blow than Obama?
A: Randi Rhodes.

Back when she was jocking records and pretty much any drummer of any Rock-n-Roll band that played the Hollywood Sportatorium, she was very well-known in South Florida for being coked up.

She may be off the Blow, folks, but her mind is still fried.

They have repeated this on DUmmie threads, claiming that he was only tortured for “4 days”.

This is a good example of why the “loony left” helps our side every time they open their uneducated mouths. Rhodes makes Carville look like a gentleman.
