The thing that stands out to me in that conversation is HOW DESPERATELY Gregory wanted Cantor to call us crazy.
Soma for all right wingers! They're just crazy!
How’d that work out for them?
They're still counting hanging chads so we may never know.
But did you notice how HARD Gregory had to work to get anything that could even pass for a decent sound-bite against us?
Fail!
Cantor wanted to focus on issues I think.
I think he wanted to avoid addressing the issue whatsoever...and he did.
Yes, it was clear that Cantor didn’t want to address this issue at all. By saying he thinks Obama is a citizen (which isn’t even the issue for eligibility) he avoided the real issue, which is what he wanted.
I think Cantor was also wanting to point out to Gregory that it was Gregory - not Cantor - who wanted to engage in “harsh vitriolic rhetoric”, and who wanted to force his guest to do the same. Sounds like that irony was lost on Gregory, as are (apparently) a lot of things that are obvious to everybody else.
Stuff like that is what makes these leftists so transparent to the thinking public. They’re not interested in respectful, factual political discourse. They are interested in using whatever ploy they can to divert attention from the facts - which is why they have to “Alinsky” Constitutionalists on this issue.
