On MSNBC yesterday, The Nation's Ari Melber tried to get former George W. Bush aide Brad Blakeman to admit that John McCain's ad accusing Barack Obama of wanting to teach kindergartners about sex contained lies. Watch:

Looks like the MSM can't ignore the truth about the McCain campaign in its absolute ineptitude any longer. Even they are beginning to get scared. They are realizing they better cut their losses. As soon as I saw that ad, I knew this was one which would be hard to live down. Everybody is beginning to follow the Views lead.
McCain is throwing stones at Obama?
John McCain is a former POW who voted with the Bush administration to permit the use of torture by the U.S. He voted against giving veterans more education benefits because he wants them to have no choice but to reenlist.
And now he's hiding behind Sarah Palin's skirts. Give me a break.
I worry for Obama if he wins. The Republicans of 2008 are psychotic and delusional. I worried for Clinton, too, when things got nasty in the 90's but nothing happened. With "god" on their proverbial side, who knows what they are capable of?? GOP or Jihad party? Who can tell? They seem to hate half of the population of America as much as they claim to hate the terrorists. Nice.
Ari and Contessa did what every fair minded citizen would do when they know that the ad was a lie. The Republicans and McCain will do anything to win an election. Wake up American, we cannot survive another 4 years of the Bush years. Yes we can. Obama 08
Wow! I'm impressed with the MSNBC commentator and Ari - calling it as it is. That Repug guy was avoiding the question again - like they all do.
Go Obama!
wow that Blake guy is a MAN. So refreshing!! and so......
Dems need to get a clue from Ari Melber. We need more like him!!
We need 100 more like him, truthful and aggressive. This is the first time I saw Brad get out talked. :)
Finally!! Calling them out for LYING!! Let's keep it up. Make them face their ongoing LIES!
We need more Brad Blakeman.
Hello Democrats!!!
Why? The republicans don't have enough liars already?
Yes Yes Yes!! Call the r.e.p.u.b.i.c.s. what they are, L.I.A.R.S L.I.A.R.S L.I.A.R.S!!!
A grown man, a lobbyist I believe, standing by the McCain smears and attacks as were they the holy grail. Is racism really worth all this? Confucius says "Fool me once, YOUR FAULT, fool me twice, my fault... I don't want to live here if this cover up for racism and bigotry becomes the mainstay one-more-time.
We will have NO USA if those with integrity don't come forward enmasse and stop these neocons for taking over ANOTHER 4 years.
cute
Smashed like a bug.
Obama / Biden 08
Yeh like a cockaroach!
One of the problems of 24 hour cable news is giving radicals like Brad Blakeman, a former stooge for Bush/Chaney, undeserved time on the air.
Shame on MSNBC for letting this fanatic continue to spew frivolous and malicious attacks on Obama. It should be not be a forum for liars and con artists, MSNBC knows there is no justification for this slander.
MSNBC needs to keep this crap off the air, then we can get back to the issues.
MSNBC also needs to clean up Morning Joe and the cesspool of radical right propaganda it has turned into. "Morning Joke" is a better name for the show or maybe "Mika's Shrine to Palin". Mika appears to support Palin because somehow working mom Palin justifies Mika's failure to be at home taking care of her kids.
Is Mika like the working class familes that are forced to have both parents working to pay the bills? I seriously doubt it. Let's see Mika's tax returns.
Concerning the Hannity Piece.... if we are going to compare today's unemployment statistics with those of yesterday, can we please use THE SAME EQUATIONS???
contessa was pretty good.
