Scarborough repeatedly accused Obama campaign of highlighting McCain’s age, despite their denials

On the June 12 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Joe Scarborough claimed despite their denials that recent comments by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) and Susan Rice, both surrogates of Sen. Barack Obama, reflected a strategy by the Obama campaign to highlight Sen. John McCain’s age. Kerry and Rice, a foreign policy adviser to Obama, asserted during a June 11 conference call that McCain had “confuse[d]” several facts about Iraq. Referring to Kerry’s and Rice’s comments, Scarborough — in eight different segments of the program — claimed Obama campaign representatives were drawing attention to McCain’s age, at one point saying that they “seem to be trying to paint him as an old man.” But at no point did Scarborough note that during the conference call, both Kerry and Rice reportedly said that “confuse[d]” referred not to McCain’s age but to numerous misstatements that McCain has made about Iraq. Further, Scarborough aired Kerry’s comment in its actual context in which Kerry referred to McCain’s misstatements during only one segment, and Rice’s comment in context during only two segments.

Scarborough also said that Obama’s assertion during a May 8 CNN interview that McCain had “los[t] his bearings” was evidence of a strategy to “mak[e] him out to be a doddering old fool.” But Scarborough did not note that Obama’s comment came in response to a smear by McCain, nor did Scarborough provide the context of Obama’s comment, in which he accused McCain of violating his pledge to avoid negative campaigning. Nor did he note that Obama spokesman Bill Burton denied that Obama was referring to McCain’s age.

During one segment in the 6 a.m. ET hour of Morning Joe, co-host Willie Geist aired the following statement Kerry made on the June 11 conference call:

KERRY: It really is becoming more crystal clear to a lot of us that John McCain simply doesn’t understand it. That he confuses who Iran is training. He confuses what the makeup of Al Qaeda is. And he has shown a series of contradictions in his statements that reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the conflict.

During the same segment, Geist aired the following statement Rice made during the conference call:

RICE [audio clip]: A real disturbing, even disconcerting, pattern of confusing the basic facts and reality that pertain to Iraq from John McCain over a series of months. He doesn’t know how many forces we have there. He thought we were down to pre-surge levels. He’s repeatedly, in the course of four days, confused Sunni and Shia. … So this is troubling to say the least and it is reflective of a pattern of lack of understanding and lack of strategic depth that certainly runs counter to his claim of judgment and experience.

Scarborough aired the same statement while interviewing Rice during the show’s 8 a.m. ET hour.

At no point during the discussion of their comments did Scarborough note that during the conference call, both Rice and Kerry denied that they were referring to McCain’s age in noting he had “confuse[d]” facts. In a June 11 post to his Political Punch blog, ABC News senior national correspondent Jake Tapper reported:

Asked if the word “confused” was meant to invoke McCain’s age, Rice said, “what I meant by that is very simple — on critical, factual questions that are fundamental to understanding what’s going on in Iraq and the region, Sen. McCain has gotten it wrong. And not just once but repeatedly.”

Rice mentioned a recent incident when McCain mistakenly said troop levels had returned to pre-surge levels. “I’m not ascribing it to any particular function, I’m completely unable to do so,” Rice said. “I’m simply pointing out a pattern.”

She invited a reporter to offer another word to convey what she saw as McCain’s “lack of understanding, misunderstanding, …they all amount to the same thing. There is a gap. Between reality and sen McCain’s characterization of reality and that’s disturbing from somebody who has staked his candidacy on judgment and experience.”

Kerry said to a reporter that it was “unfair and even a little bit ridiculous to assume that because you use a word that is us
