1. Pat Buchanan "John McCain uses it because it works." And it works because MSM SAYS it work.

But Rachel's right; it's wearing out.

[elleng]

4. 'MAKES' it work,

or 'SAYS' it works?

[VolcanoJen]

14. And just like when KO put the "shovel" to Joe Scar....

... KO came on later to point out that there remains ZERO statistical polling evidence to back up their claim that McCain's disgusting negative tack and use of the POW Card as an omnipotent deflection force shield is actually working.

They really just wanna keep doing it. And to avoid a media and public backlash, they need their wingnut hacks to convince the public that "it's ok! because it's working!!!!" :eyes:

[patrice]

17. Too many other POWs around wondering why they aren't a pResidential candidate.

[bjobotts]

20. You've been well compensated for your sacrifice McCain now STFU

[elleng]

2. Rachel does a great job,

as usual!

[Muttocracy]

3. thanks for posting this!!

[aaronbees]

5. Hurray!

Someone calling McCain on the truth here. Thank you, Rachel! And to Pat Buchanan: shut your pie hole.

[Dollface]

11. McPOW may have jumped the shark here but Buchanan was correct. McCain does use it because it has

worked so far. I hope he drags it out a few more times so even Resmuglicans cringe when they hear it.

[aaronbees]

13. But that's the thing...

it has a short shelf life and becomes stale pretty quick. Buchanan's only right insofar as the mainstream TV pundits give him cover on it and fail to challenge McPOW. And I think it only works to strengthen support from dittoheads predisposed to a sense of shallow, jingoistic patriotism.

[Dollface]

19. Dittoheads wouldn't recognize the shark if it bit them. I just hope the humble POW routine rings

false with people who are just starting to tune in. But you are correct about the MSM. Buchanan is their darling. But lately I see him paired with Rachel which gets her more air time which is an excellent thing.

6. Thanks! People were posting about this, but I hadn't seen it.

Rachel Rocks! (But we all knew that already.)

[Iwillnevergiveup]

7. The crowd cheering Rachel

LOVE IT!

K&R

[HughMoran]

10. That was awesome huh?

I loved that the crowd heard her and cheered loudly.

[HughMoran]

8. A massive K&R!

She really made her point well.

[ihavenobias]

9. I'm happy to see that Rachel has picked up on this and is saying so in the MSM

.

[stlsaxman]

12. "A noun, a verb, and POW" n/t

[bjobotts]

15. Soon he will be seen as an old man without any pants on pulling on his shirt saying

[bjobotts]

16. "Medals...medals...I have medals" Grampa want his hotsy totsy now

[bjobotts]

18. Blackmail continues to work until you expose the blackmail. POW is not a qualification

for anything. It was forced on him and he survived it and we respect his suffering which has absolutely nothing to do with the issues. Our soldiers have no kitchen table either cause they're being held hostage by Bush policing a civil war for years. He got all the sympathy he's gonna get. Besides, some say the POW bit was Karma due for the 137 sailors he killed showing off a "wet start" that set the plane on fire on deck behind him on the USS Forrestal resulting in the deaths of these sailors caught in the flames. He continues to milk it at every occasion and its shameful. He's still alive which is more than over 50,000 soldiers can say who died for that Gulf of Tonkin lie. You've been well compensated for your sacrifice McCain now STFU

23. He was a P.O.W. because he was a bad pilot........

....he was a bad pilot because he was at the bottom of his graduating class (which he brags about frequently). Therefore he would make a lousy leader.

[AlbertCat]

21. As I said on the 1st post of this video:

Pat, Pat, Pat...Oh, bless your cotton pickin' heart. You are grasping at... not even straws. At nothing. "It's scripted!" Oooooo-kay. "Because it works!" What is this, a laundry detergent commercial? Listen to what people are SAYING, Pat. It USED to work.... or very shortly will be defunct because he's using it to explain away everything! "I farted. It's OK because because I was a POW."

Noun - verb - POW


John MCCain: Lousy pilot, Great POW!

[pauldg0]

22. John McCain was a prisoner of war because he was shot......

down trying to kill civilians below him. John McCain as you recall was at the bottom of his graduating class at West Point. Maybe that is why he was shot down.......Right???!!! Therefore, John McCain is a loser.

I rest my piece.....

Also, I should say this. John McCain brags about the fact that he was at the bottom of his class and uses that to show how hard he worked to get where he is at............I think by lies and cheating....he is a crook you know.
