For those of you who like McCain

I was wondering how you feel about him cozying up to his new butt-buddy, Jerry Falwell, who, he says, is "no longer an agent of intolerance?"

Really.
Wow, tell us Mr. McCain, exactly when was it that Falwell stopped being an agent of intolerance? Was it when, just days after the September 11 attacks, Falwell blamed gays and lesbians, and pro-choice Americans, and the ACLU for the September 11 attacks? Yeah, that was a great moment in tolerance.

Or was it a year later in October 2002 when Jerry Falwell said that Mohammed was a terrorist?
"I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough of the history of his life written by both Muslims and - non-Muslims, (to know) that he was a – a violent man, a man of war."

Or was it in March of 2006 when Falwell told Jews they're going to hell?


And this is John McCain's new Very Best Friend. So, for those of you who like McCain...I was just wondering: How you like him now?

That's it-attack the other side, and make excuses for him. But don't answer the question.

How Do You Like Him Now?

Interesting comparison. Because the "one Meet the Press Interview" was actually just the latest in a long list of evidence that McCain poses as a moderate or maverick while remaining just as dirty as the rest of them.

Some of us think that's bad.

The Howard Dean speech in Iowa, on the other hand, was a documentable case of media bias:

Yeah, that's the same.

As Alterman says, What Liberal Media?
