‘View’ Host to McCain: You’re Not a Maverick

McCain and Behar
abcnews.go.com

John McCain may have gotten more than he bargained for when he sat down on a comfy couch with the ladies of “The View” Friday morning, only to be cornered by Joy Behar about whether or not he really lives up to his prized “maverick” rep anymore. In response, McCain challenged Behar, along with others who have posed the same question, to tell him exactly how he’s changed.

Watch the clip here.

@ Frostedflakes;

Haha, yeah, weren’t they great!  What’s wrong with the MSM?  Oh, sorry, rhetorical question.

I did have to go to huff post to view it and I guess if huff post is good for something that would be looking there for what you cannot find here or elsewhere.
And i was impressed with ‘the view’ but I don’t think the idea of having 5 or 6 women sitting around bombarding anyone withe questions while all of them talking at the same time lends as much creedence to the interview.. Most surprised that ole johnny agreed to the interview, just as obama did the o’rilly interview where I believe o’rilly wasn’t not as polite as ‘the view’ babes were to ole johnny. I don’t watch o’rillly.

samosamo and frostedflakes,

Thanks to both of you. (Just didn’t want it to be ‘me’ that couldn’t get it…a common concern in these days of alternative realities and parallel universes).

I did see a short portion of it on another story from Consortium News. And you’re right…the ladies on the view did a much better job…called him out on the lies, just like you said. But samosamo is right, there’s so much missing that I only get to by actively searching and following links. All of the complaints that I hear about Obama are already refuted in his own words, but we don’t find those words without a major effort.

You’re right. I can get to a page but the video screen never comes up. I have seen this happen a couple of times when I try to see something critical of the McPalin campaign or something good for the obama campaign which is an indication of a control of sorts by the media especially when the view comes from either abc, cbs or nbc. Orwell rolls in his grave again.

I viewed the clips on Huffingtonpost and the ladies of The View did a better job of questioning McShame than the pathetic mainstream media has; they didn’t simply accept his bullshit and actually called him out regarding his lies, his ridiculous claim as an agent of change, and his sad choice of VP pick.

Humm…seems that the link to the clip is no longer valid. It might be interesting to hear what the “View” ladies had to say to the old monster.

well lets see: you are going to stay in Iraq for 100 years; you were well aware of the torture going on and WHAT exactly did you do? http://www.democracynow.org folks: type in british detainee: THIS is all documented; all the other countries of the world know it; THAT is why they call us torturers; because that is what we do: TRAIN torturers; from TORTURE we have imposed upon others; I didn’t see YOU Mr McCain doing ONE SINGLE THING or objecting: except for DENYING the World International Court for trying Bush & Cheney as war crimes: which means YOU need to be put on trial as well: for HIDING & ABETTING torture; so grusome it gives folks nightmares just to read of it; learned well from those Nazi’s you brought over didn’t you politicians & Pentagon?
