Just the Facts Randi

September 9, 2008

First, I was shocked to hear that AirAmerica was still on the air.  Having heard the past stories spun out by one of their hosts Randi Rhodes (I was mugged and beaten up) and knew she was “factually Challenged” but this clip is over the top.  You need to play the clip below, then I’ll continue my observations.

Can you believe it!  I heard a wonderful quote today from Howie Carr. He attributed it to the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan who said “you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your facts.” Randi Rhodes owes Sen. McCain and all those who suffered at the hands of their captors, an apology.  The Libs strategy of tearing down McCain & Palin (Because they can’t build up BHO & Joe) is growing tired, and this time it is beyond the pale.

Remember the speech that Sen, Fred Thompson delivered at the RNC? That was the real story about the treatment that Lt. McCain received over the 5 -1/2 years in captivity at the hands of the North Vietnamese.  The treatment that John McCain received was far from “well”.  She just ignores the facts. John McCain was not treated well, he was Tortured (no, they didn’t put underwear on his head or make him listen to barking dogs) they beat him and isolated him and did it over and over and over for 5 -1/2 years.  His arms are so damaged that he can’t raise them to salute the flag he fought for.  That is not being treated well!

Shame on you Randi Rhodes, shame on you.
