David Frum, former speechwriter for President Bush, tries to equate how Rachel runs her show with the nasty, malicious, racist tone that's been observed at various McCain/Palin rallies. Rachel isn't gonna play that game, you dork.
MADDOW: Do you think that my tone on this show is equivalent to people calling Barack Obama somebody who pals around with terrorists, people yelling from the audience at McCain-Palin rallies, Bomb Obama. Kill him. Off with his head. Traitor. Are you accusing me of an equivalence in tone?
FRUM: I don’t think that’s an important question. I think the question is, given the small plate of responsibility that you personally have, how do you manage that responsibility? The fact that other people fail in other ways is not an excuse for you failing in your way.
MADDOW: But you did just say it’s the same thing, that you’re seeing the same thing on this show in a lot -
(CROSS TALK)
FRUM: I worry about that.
