TYT: The OTHER McCain Gaffe No One Is Talking About

[ihavenobias]

By Cenk Uygur

There is one more John McCain gaffe that the media missed from the now famous CBS interview with Katie Couric.

This is the same interview in which McCain claimed the surge led to the Anbar Awakening, which is demonstrably false. But watch below for another gaffe when McCain says Iraq was the first major conflict after 9/11.

PS---Keep in mind that you can download the first hour of The Young Turks free every day through Itunes. Also, the show loops 24 hours a day at www.theyoungturks.com and runs live M-F from 9-11pm EST, with a post game show (politics with entertainment and current events) starting at 11pm. Finally, there is great news for XM radio subscribers: The Young Turks are now on XM 167 Monday-Friday, 8am-10am EST!

2. Those guys are great

Liked how the stressed how McCain never/seldom mentions Afghanistan, it's Iraq and 9-11 all the time.

I have XM so thanks for the info. Here in Okla. you will only hear Rush, etc.. The State does everything to keep us uninformed and they are doing a good job.

7. We finally got a local progressive talk station in Chicagoland in the last few few years or so

I would make a couple of line-up changes (including adding TYT), but overall I can't complain considering there are two (at least) conservative talk stations.

Conservative talk radio is ubiquitous.

3. I bet McCain's people cringe when Cenk's name comes up -

nothing gets by him!

11. They just passed 25 million views on youtube

Often times when you search for a current (political but not just political) event a TYT video will pop up, so I'm guessing his campaign has watched at least one (and probably rated it 1 star) which is funny.

[pleah]

4. I can't wait for the debates! When are they going to start them?

12. I'm not sure, good question. Obama should CRUSH McCain, I can say that much n/t

5. I'm surprised that a Wichita station carries TYT.

There's something like 12340973 country stations there, so I didn't really think that TYT fit into the demo. But, lo and behold, I was driving through there and caught them !

8. the media has to keep the illusion of a horserace, otherwise no one watches....

15. This was mentioned by KO on the Countdown last night, and he gave Cenk credit!

maybe we'll see Cenk on the Countdown again...I'd love to see him get another chance.

(don't go too loud on the Of Cooooourse!! this time, brother Cenk)
