Summary

The Daily Show jumps in our time machine to head back to this day in 2008: it's the month leading up to the 2008 election and Jon Stewart looks at coordinated attacks by the McCain/Palin campaign to instill fear against a possible Obama election. Aasif Mandvi talks about why a voter calling Obama an Arab or Muslim shouldn’t be an insult, and former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer talks about his concerns with Barack Obama and why he likes Sarah Palin.
