TODAY'S SHOW: FRIDAY, MAY 9th 2008

By Vanessa Silverton-Peel

Happy National Train Day everyone! Rachel will be celebrating later tonight with a ride home to Massachusetts and an AmDog. How will you honor this fine holiday?

On today's show we've got David Corn. Mother Jones Magazine and Brave New Films have dug up video of McCain's "spiritual adviser" that you are definitely going to want to see.

MENTIONED ON TODAY'S SHOW

Army's stop loss program rises dramatically 

Rachel Maddow Show guest Colby Buzzell called up to serve another tour of duty in Iraq 

Would Obama campaign help Hillary pay off campaign debt?

 

Yeah right.

RBurnett, Have you been hearing anything both Obama and Clinton have been talking about during this campaign????

Clinton only talks about gay stuff in front of gay audiences. Obama talks about gay stuff everywhere he goes, including black churches that turn silent when he does. During the LOGO debate she had the gall of saying that she is IN FAVOR of DOMA, whereas Obama is against it. I still can't believe LGBT people who said she did well in that debate. Where they watching?

May I remind you that her hubby Bill -- the so called most gay friendly president in the history of this country -- brought us DOMA, don't ask don't tell, and enshrined into immigration the HIV ban? (All while the Human Rights Campaign drooled over him but that is another story).

Just keep in mind that if McCain wins, you can kiss goodbye your gay rights. He will nominate more extremists to the Supreme Court (he is already talking about it), and may be bring back the constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, and who knows what else..... and you are afraid of Wright????

Heck, as a lesbian them whities are more scary to me -- McCain, Bush, Rove, Parsley, Hague (the guy who said that Katrina was because of the gays), Cheney, Roberts, Alito, Falwell (the guy who said that 9-11 was because of the gays), Scalia (the guy who wanted sodomy to remain illegal)... should I continue??

Honey, you need stand in front of a mirror and look long and hard.... I am sorry to tell you that you ARE a racist. It is obviously you are playing the *afraid-white-guy* card by bringing up the Wright thing. It is not your fault, you were taught that big black guys are dangerous... and if they are outspoken like Wright is, well, that's just too much, right?

Your job now is to get over your bigotry. If you still choose to NOT vote on Obama on account of the issues, well, that is one thing. But not voting for him because of Wright says to me that you have some soul searching to do.
