6. Rachel...you are BETTER than that opening segment.

When Romney says 2008 debates and then says a year later the world was changed, the context of the comments make it very clear he mis-spoke and meant the 2000 presidential debates, which did not mention terrorism unless Al Queda was code for "lock-box".

I love Rachel's show, but she is better than that kind of snark and misleading opening to the piece.

Yes, Mitt Romney is a serial liar.
Yes, Mitt Romney has a conditional relationship with the truth for his own campaign.
But, Rachel is playing dumb by playing up the gaffe of which debates Romney was referencing there,,,,

It does our side no good to fight Republican lies and partial truths by getting into the same sty and slopping around with them.

I expect that kind of selective interpretation from Limbaugh and Hannity and the rest of the clown circus. I do not expect it from Rachel.
