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.

This has been repeated on Free Republic so many times that it has become a staple.

"What I would pay for Bud Day to call this idiot and tell her off."

She isn't worthy of being addressed by a hero like Bud Day.

Not just “pathetic”, try “psychotic”.

We used to call people like this “commie cu*ts” because they put out physically and mentally for the enemy (Jane Fonda comes to mind).

This psychopath is the best thing the Left has given us, along with Bill the Madman Maher, Michael Sicko Moore, and George Looney Clooney.

Keep on sending them. America is finally waking up to the subversive creeps undermining our country, and the Terminix Man is on the way.

Yes... I recall reading that McCain said the bok choy was a little underdone while the duck confit was a bit on the spicy side. No dessert.

How long should I wait before this pops up on fightthesmears.com?

This hack is as desperate for attention as the rest of the libs are for something to attack Palin about.

Why do all the really high quality people support Obama? /sarc

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

I'm dead certain that the very worst days the Gitmo terrorists have had is way-ass better than the best days the Vietnam POWs had.

Is it too late to nuke Hanoi?

Let her keep the microphone. And turn up the volume.

I have to say, that's so very true. Last week, I had a discussion with a female co-worker, I don't know her age exactly, but she's got to be at least fifty, in my decade. She had absolutely no idea that John McCain was a POW, I got her to listen to Sarah Palin, and then Sen. McCain the next night. She's now a solid GOP supporter in this election.

Friends, let the truth be heard!

I was checking out DU to see if they had any posts about this story (since they like Randi Rhodes so much). I found this google ads link on the search page.

John McCain For President Compliance Fund. It's a legal fund set up in case the GOP have to challenge Democratic voter fraud. This was an advert link on DU. I wonder what the DUmpster divers think of that?! LOL!

I blame it on her parents. They never taught her not to eat her own sh*t nor drink your own p*ss which contrary to the beliefs in some circles, is not a healthy diet. That and Kool-Aid. Never, ever, drink the d*mn Kool-Aid. Remember to feel the compassion for our young Ms. Rhodes who is condemned to visit her mental illness upon all who would hear her.

What if she gave a rant, and no one listened?

“How much pot has Rhandi smoked?”

Way too much as appearances go. People like her are the types you used to see in the downtown areas of large cities who talk to their invisible friends. In the old days, they were put away for the benefit of the public.

Really? I thought the guitarist for Ozzy was dead. Who knew he survived and became a pinko propagandist?
