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.
