McCain either LIES or is WRONG again, CBS tries to hide it! watch!
youtube.com — Countdown with Keith Olbermann video about an interview with the CBS evening news in which Senator John McCain gets the basic timeline and history of the surge completely wrong. This mistake or blatant lie is not in the interview that was aired because CBS edited it and removed it.

- RUGERSP101, on 07/25/2008, -7/+0Keith the bastion of integrity who got his 24 year old girlfriend an undeserved job as a reporter in New York, where she calls a fatal crain collapse "exciting" .
- ayeroxor, on 07/25/2008, -0/+6Sour grapes much?
/bonus points for "crain" - ShadowFox06, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4Aww someone's jealous he's got a young gal as his girlfriend.

- AtHomeBoy2000, on 07/23/2008, -10/+117The fact that CBS covered this up is amazing.
- Verchiel77, on 07/23/2008, -4/+41Eh, not really.
Standard procedure: McCain, by definition, "understands" foreign policy no matter how many "errors" he makes: doesn't know sunni from shia, thinks Iraq borders Pakistan, etc.- Cuchanu, on 07/23/2008, -3/+20And if you question that understanding somehow you are spitting in the face of every war vet in the country.
- Qposter, on 07/25/2008, -2/+4Thankfully we have these wonderful people to stand up and lead us to victory.
Umm I thought we were a peaceful society... - tkotam, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1Well. I think McCain will be an improvement to the US of A. At least he can pronounce "NUCLEAR" correctly, unlike the current guy.. :-)
- topgigmedia, on 07/25/2008, -3/+9Geez - Liberally biased media at it again... oh crap wait... um...
- blankoboy, on 07/25/2008, -0/+9By amazing you mean criminal right? They are blatantly editing the news and delivering up biased filtered misinformation. This is lying to the public for the government. They should be put off the air, full stop.
- destron, on 07/25/2008, -0/+6Actually, I seem to recall a CBS show called "60 Minutes" airing a completely bogus-ass segment about George W. Bush's military record.
No, it doesn't surprise me. - GregFD3S, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2Amazing? No.
Surprising? No. - llurker, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3Ever wonder what happened to Dan Rather? Looks like the shakeup done at CBS News has proved nothing, other than they are still as credible as they were when Rathergate exploded in their faces 4 years ago.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathergate - noprtyaff, on 07/25/2008, -2/+2Oh Drama! BOTH candidates suck ( Obama is a Marxist ). But this is minutiae. Thanks Offalman.
- Verchiel77, on 07/23/2008, -4/+41Eh, not really.
- Cuchanu, on 07/23/2008, -7/+38I can't wait for the National ads to roll out with McCain's never-ending basic geography and foreign policy mistakes all in one ad that will embarrass the ***** out of him.
The poor old guy... maybe The Czech Republic and Slovakia should get back together so he's not so confused.- mmijatov, on 07/23/2008, -4/+7Maybe they should bring back Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire . . . Or maybe the Holy Roman Empire?
- DuggDowner, on 07/25/2008, -2/+9Or maybe Pangea.
- Tssst, on 07/25/2008, -2/+4Or maybe revert back to the pre-big-bang era. McCain would have remembered those days from his youth, he wont mess it up.
- dsgamer, on 07/25/2008, -2/+2@DuggDowner
very well played - DesignNerd, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Well eventually the continents will drift back together, the water will rise, and McCain can rule the Waterworld Kingdom of Cockroaches that are his minions.
- mmijatov, on 07/23/2008, -4/+7Maybe they should bring back Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire . . . Or maybe the Holy Roman Empire?
- tbrand86, on 07/23/2008, -7/+14I feel like CBS is politically bi-polar. They never seem to figure out what side of the pendulum to swing.
- mecharabbit, on 07/25/2008, -4/+7They probably still felt guilty about the Bush National Guard service story, so they decided to give a freebie to the Republicans as a peace offering.
- Swingdown, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Isn't it good media for CBS to swing both ways? just sayin...
- orthodoxDrew, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1rather was pretty much anti-establishment while couric is just trying to not piss anyone off
- pprovo1, on 07/23/2008, -12/+28hahah this is great. How does McCain expect people to buy his whole "I know more about Iraq than Obama" ***** when he cant even get his facts straight???
- bjornski, on 07/25/2008, -4/+11Because if you question him, you're insulting war heroes and POW's.
- mrpetey, on 07/25/2008, -11/+2But then there is NoBama, I am an emptied headed boob, but my lemmings won't let me don't and since I am black and don't know anything no one can question me about anything - so I am off the hook if they get McCain on one mistake - - - when I have many but once again you can question me because of

- breadfred, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3Please write in big letters, on top of a large a4 sheet, and keep it visible at all times:
I WILL NOT COMMENT ON DIGG WHILST DRUNK
- Navicerts, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1The only action for recourse I see he can make for that statement is that it may be possible? Am I interpreting this right, the surge had "surge effects" even before it began?
"The number of troops in Anbar province rose even before "the surge" began. Some units in Anbar had their tours extended when the BSP was announced. In Ramadi, the number of U.S. troops rose in December, January, and February, after the mid-tour leave program ended.68 On February 19, COL MacFarland and the 1BCT of the 1st Armored Division relinquished command of Ramadi to COL John Charlton and the 1BCT, 3rd Infantry Division, and a full, pre-leave compliment of soldiers.69 By February, the Ramadi sheiks' recruitment drive had also produced 4,500 new policemen, where previously there had only been 300.70"

I'm sure that Keith didn't report on this one. But yeah... McCain makes a false assertion (not even a lie) and it's headline news to you hypocrites.- mrpetey, on 07/25/2008, -16/+5Yeah, heaven forbid any of the Obama lemmings (that is people who never think, just follow the others off the edge of the bridge) actually take a look at the resume of the candidate they are supporting.
Just as long as it isn't "Bush" - what complete losers. . . .

- SaperKain, on 07/25/2008, -14/+74I wonder if Keith ever gets tired of being awesome and kicking so much republican ass.
- mrpetey, on 07/25/2008, -22/+4I guess you can think that if you are a simpleton and never, ever, ever bother to look at your own emptied headed boob of a candidate.
Just keep on being proud thinking you are a genius.- SaperKain, on 07/25/2008, -4/+9I know for sure that republicans like you think they are so much smarter than anybody else. “Oh Look at me I am such a rage I’m voting for McCain“ - that’s you farting.
- dexter411, on 07/25/2008, -3/+1A smirking, pretentious prick parading around as a journalist isn't my definition of "being awesome." Charlie Rose kicks ass. Walter Cronkite kicked ass. Keith Olbermann is just a far-left mouthpiece.
- mrpetey, on 07/25/2008, -22/+4I guess you can think that if you are a simpleton and never, ever, ever bother to look at your own emptied headed boob of a candidate.
- dnields, on 07/25/2008, -18/+13NEWS FLASH: All politicians lie at some point.
- Qposter, on 07/25/2008, -2/+10Update: kick them all out and start over.

- erad222, on 07/25/2008, -13/+28Did you guys know that Digg doesn't like John McCain? Keith Olbermann kicks ass.
- gwade4, on 07/25/2008, -8/+17McCain can't help it that he is old and can't remember what happened two years ago, come on people!
/sarcasm - ThePerkins, on 07/25/2008, -22/+3McCain didn't return a library book. OMG HE'S THE WORST! CRUCIFY HIM!
- HumanGlitch, on 07/25/2008, -9/+1typical obamian
- mojoface, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4McCain said we might be in Iraq for "100 years". OMG HE IS SO ***** RETARDED
- lamiaconfitor, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Yeah, "MIGHT" That is hilarious, he knows we will.
- mediaspree, on 07/25/2008, -9/+64Sadly 99% of the voting public will never see this and will vote for "morals" or "faith based initiatives" or "terr'ism"
- gravityboard, on 07/25/2008, -4/+24dugg for correct phonetic spelling of "terrorism"
- DuggDowner, on 07/25/2008, -5/+16They took our jobs!
- mrpetey, on 07/25/2008, -17/+4just as 99% if the obama loser supporters will never ever bother to actually look at what qualifies this emptied headed boob to lead the greatest country on earth.
OH RIGHT - you don't care what background he has, you all HATE Amercia and just want to see it fail. Well, you have your man here is in loser.- tim04, on 07/25/2008, -2/+9"greatest country on earth", right. that ship sailed years ago.
- SpikeTheSenses, on 07/25/2008, -0/+5I'm not even halfway through the posts and ive seen 3 comments by you saying "empty headed boobs"
shut up.
- MutatedNantuko, on 07/25/2008, -1/+7'Merica!

/dey dook uur jerbs!
//der derk er der!!
- timewarp424, on 07/25/2008, -7/+1Typical stuck up snob. Although you may have transcended moral or spiritual guidance and still somehow don't quake at the persistent threat of death by Islamic terrorists (meaning you would die... giving up your one and only life, assuming there's no afterlife), you still somehow find time to put down those people that live good, decent (I'm sorry, I couldn't translate these two words into amoral language) lives. The worst these people do is create a comfortable living which honors life. The best you do is spread decadence and snobbery.
- lamiaconfitor, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Yeah, so I should trust jerks like you to take away my freedoms, because you aren't all into book learning?
- xNarrowSoulx, on 07/25/2008, -3/+8Or they just "ain't votin' fer a *****".
- ShadowFox06, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1A bit clearer of what's on their mind.: "ain't votin' fer a ***** muslim".
- xNarrowSoulx, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1I knew I was missing something.
- ShadowFox06, on 07/26/2008, -0/+0Least you got half of it right. More than Bush would score on a IQ test.
- dexter411, on 07/25/2008, -2/+1Haha, I get it! Because people who pronounce words differently are inherently inferior. So clever!
- gravityboard, on 07/25/2008, -4/+5I wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with a news agency protecting a candidates mistake by only presenting part of what he said if they weren't being selective and manipulative in the way they present information. This is not an incident to incite outrage by itself but should be cataloged and remembered as yet another indication of our MSM degradation that will be largely ignored by the general populous. ***** thing SUCKS.
- biofreak12, on 07/25/2008, -20/+9Keith Olbermann seems like a very angry dude at times. Just look at each video, i just want to punch him in the face. (Calm the ***** down, and report the text from the screen) I have nothing against him, but he is no better than Bill O'reilly.
- sugarazor, on 07/25/2008, -7/+12Except that Olbermann generally knows what he's talking about and uses that pesky little thing called the truth that Billy isn't too familiar with.
- Ryan166, on 07/25/2008, -9/+5two biased, clueless blowhards.
- mecharabbit, on 07/25/2008, -5/+7Olbermann writes his own stuff, though, so he'll never get thrown off by some piece of complex rhetoric written for him, like "here's Sting to play us out".
- halfdirt, on 07/25/2008, -6/+5Digg.com isn't going to like that comment . . ooooooh.
It's obvious Olbermann leans left and only reports on things that make the right look bad, usually in loud tirades. Thus, he does fill the same role that O'Reilly fills on Fox News.
There are media sources in existence with less bias.
- More4, on 07/25/2008, -10/+6http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=McCain+gaffe& ...
One million hits and counting!- balbeit, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2"McCain gaffe" - 1.05 million
"Obama gaffe" - 1.44 million
"McCain mistake" - 5.42 million
"Obama mistake" - 7.50 million
Your point?- More4, on 07/25/2008, -3/+2READ the Obama hits. They are either about John "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb" McCain gaffes (that incidentally mention the big "O") or are hits from wingnut bloggers. McCain has a proud past, but now it's time for him to enjoy old age.
- Wahoo06, on 07/25/2008, -3/+1Yeah, you're right, I mean that gaffe about the 57 states is terrible. And talking about spending 8-10 years in the White House was pathetic.
Oh wait, Obama was the one who said those. My mistake. - Navicerts, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1balbeit is right, and his point is (some appeared to have missed this) that the number of google search results holds absolutely no value at all. Not meaningful data.
- balbeit, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2"McCain gaffe" - 1.05 million
- PepeGSay, on 07/25/2008, -10/+8So if the Sunni Awakening began a bit earlier technically. Is it possible that the surge a few months later helped it really get a footing? Is it possible there is some subtly to these remarks and his assertions? Hmm... Modern politics. Things have to fit into a soundbite and a **GOTCHA!!!**. Ask these guys about their goals and methods for those goals, pay attention to those answers, not this nit picky crap.
- thebrokenlight, on 07/25/2008, -0/+6When a candidate for President of the US is running on a war platform and tries to make a political point about the war with inaccurate historical backup... then we as voters should be legitimately worried. This isn't nit picking.
- HappyScrappy, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1As is mentioned in another article, the leader he is referring to as being protected by the surge as actually assassinated at the height of the surge (Sept 2007). So I think it's unlikely he was referring to how things were better in that timeframe than before the surge actually began.
- moviefriek, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0Also, the guy won't admit he made a mistake, instead he's trying to cover up his mistake by saying that the surge was actually part of a "counter-insurgency" operation.
He's a liar and an idiot.
- 0Xonox0, on 07/25/2008, -14/+7Obama withdrawing troops = Lose.
McCain withdrawing troops = Win.
lol- awtripp, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1 I would think you're just pointing out the irony here or I guess you can just call it straight up hypocrisy. When McCain calls for the withdrawal because "we won a victory" everyone gets all teary-eyed and fervent, but when Obama calls for phased withdrawal everyone calls him a wuss and terrorist sympathizer.
- kowe, on 07/25/2008, -17/+10Obama proudly proclaimed his kenyan heritage in germany today - boasting about his father's harrowing escape to freedom in the united states. Never mind that he actually abandoned his pregnant wife to come to hawaii where he met obama's mother and married her without ever telling her about his other family back in kenya. Oh yeah, 2 years later he abandoned them too. Well Mr. Obama, you sure have quite the family history to brag about!
What a dip wad. The guy isn't much more than a pop icon who exploits and twists every fact to his advantage. It's a shame he wastes intellect like that.- halfdirt, on 07/25/2008, -3/+2It's just politics. I'm sure Obama's family is full of little secrets that no one is talking about until the election is over. Same with McCain.
Same with Petrelli's run for Congress in season one of Heroes. We've taken it for granted so long that it's become a pop culture cliche in this country.
But you are not your family. YOu are not your pastor and you are not your wife. Moving on..- kowe, on 07/25/2008, -2/+0The point is not to expose dirt on obama... the point is to demonstrate how he basically fabricated a story about his past to make a positive emotional connection with people. It's great marketing, but lacking integrity.
Please analyze what you read more carefully in the future before making irrelevant assertions. - halfdirt, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1"Please analyze what you read more carefully in the future before making irrelevant assertions."

- alex98101, on 07/25/2008, -0/+4Yeah, you're totally right! Obama's dad was a bad father. That makes Obama a "dip wad". Thanks for helping me understand! I almost voted for someone who had a bad father!
- kowe, on 07/25/2008, -2/+0I don't really know why you are getting all huffy. He is a dip wad because he fabricated a story that would invoke a positive emotional response from the crowd. He does this repeatedly. It demonstrates a general lack of integrity.
No need get all frustrated now tiger.

- dho331, on 07/25/2008, -10/+4Politics is an art. There will always be moderates and radicals, being a moderate, I can realize that bleeding heart liberals such as Obama are worse than Old men that don't give a ***** about facts. I don't want to spend years learning about sand monkeys, and neither does an old man that's been through Vietnam and has been tortured for years as a POW FFS. It's bad enough without the paparazzi digging into the skin and probably bones. Without the media, I'm sure McCain would appear just as good as any president we've had in the last century, and that's not saying much.
- LtJimDangle2, on 07/25/2008, -1/+6"sand monkeys"
seriously? And you call yourself a moderate?
Bush didn't "give a *****" about facts when it came to any ties between 9/11 and Iraq and look where we are now. I mean, my god man!
- LtJimDangle2, on 07/25/2008, -1/+6"sand monkeys"
- Me1000, on 07/25/2008, -6/+13I m not understanding this...
"He would rather loose a war and win an election"
What the hell is he talking about? We are not in a war! Wars are declared by congress! Congress hasnt dont that since WWII...- bjornski, on 07/25/2008, -1/+11You can't "win" an occupation.
- kinerry, on 07/25/2008, -3/+2war was declared against terrorism, officially, by congress
- josereyes0, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3They authorized a military engagement. Not a war. You can't literally declare war on a concept so wide as terrorism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by ... - lamiaconfitor, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I just declared a war on soft, toasted bagels as long as the allegiance between cream cheese and milk remains strong. That is more valid then declaring a war on an abstract concept.
- ElSnuggles, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2So how do you win a war against abstract concept?
At least the war on drugs was a war against a a descriptive noun.

- unfanderful, on 07/25/2008, -2/+13I agree with everything he said. Especially, "Israel is a strong friend of Israel's"
- BotchaMcCoola, on 07/25/2008, -3/+3I don't think he is dishonest. But people seem to overlook that neither the Awakening nor the Surge have been good for the US population. Both are costing us a ton without any clear bottom line for us. Worse, a lot of other shoes will drop from all this, none pleasant for anyone but Lockheed Martin and Military lobbyists. Stop being stupid goombas.
- dexter411, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Troop deaths have dropped ten fold. That sounds like a clear victory.
- maxterpiece, on 07/25/2008, -8/+3Olbermann is a propaganda man. I'm all for Obama, but this whole segment was contrived, making something out of nothing.
- JustinPM, on 07/25/2008, -1/+3It definitely isn't something out of nothing. It's a news organization not reporting a truthful interview. As far as McCain's mistake on the timeline, the biggest issue is that a major news organization is stacking the cards in the interview.
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/25/2008, -2/+1You mean like conveniently omitting the fact that Obama was the closing act of a concert in Germany?

Stop being a moron. Who brings Obama signs and American flag to a concert? So the played some music as entertainment beforehand...sheesh. - maxterpiece, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1justin, I'll agree that CBS changing around an interview is something, but what they changed wasn't all that big of a deal.

- marike, on 07/25/2008, -3/+8To the people who contend that Olbermann was making something out of nothing, while he clearly has his own bias, it is not "nothing" for CBS to remove a totally screwy McCain answer filled mistakes from the Couric interview, and replace it with an answer to an earlier question where McCain accuses Obama of being willing to lose the war to get elected.
It has to make you question what CBS's agenda is. Are they trying to join along side of Fox to try to influence this election? Maybe CBS was thinking Obama is having a great week and McCain, not-so-great: "We better try to, at least, salvage this interview for McCain. "
CBS's response was that they regretted the mistake. Well that was some mistake, and I'm glad Olbermann picked it up. We don't need that kind of "journalism" in this race. It is too important. - requiem3, on 07/25/2008, -3/+3He's gone senile..

- catfish182, on 07/25/2008, -1/+5Look i am glad this was said but it wasnt about CBS hiding the truth.
CBS could give a ***** less about that *****.
It was about ratings which equals money.
If they show McCain looking like a old douche then they will not get him back so easy which means they will not get ratings which means no money.
None of the major networks really give a ***** aboiut what happens. They just want to report it so you will watch.- xNarrowSoulx, on 07/25/2008, -0/+3Good point. Not like it really matters, we hate them for it either way, but good point nonetheless.

Olbermann is kickin' BillO's butt in the only demographic that matters, 25-54 year olds.
But you know, those are just the facts, easily ignored.- datastorageguy, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/07/24/cable-news-ra ...
