The Right's Hate Doesn't Equate

By The Joy Behar Show

October 6, 2009

Appearing on Joy Behar's new show on CNN-HLN, Nation correspondent Ari Melber discusses the comparisons between the oppositional tactics of the left and the right. Fittingly, his co-guest is Meghan McCain, who likens Rush Limbaugh to Keith Olbermann, claiming that their loud tone puts them at the same level of extremism. Melber argues that examples like this--and the broader one that compares previous attacks on Bush to today's attacks on Obama--are false. The exchange itself mirrors the subject of the debate, in a lively and revealing manner.
