Stark is going to be another gift that keeps on giving, if Conservatives will muster up the guts to use him. He’s a volatile and very nasty liberal who always did flash easily, and as he gets older he only gets nastier and even more volatile. A guy like Paul Ryan could run circles around him, and Stark is probably good for any number of inflammatory statements if he is poked with even a blunt stick...
I’ll be taking wagers for burgers via PM, on how many times Pete Stark will utter the “F” bomb on camera between now and November...
Bet me a burger....
I agree with you and decline your bet. Stark is among the thinnest of skins. The Republicans could provide good entertainment value for money by subtly, constantly baiting him (although poking with a blunt stick sounds like fun, too). If people like Paul Ryan play their cards right, Stark’s head will explode live on C-Span.
One would hope, and I think is true, that a majority of American adults, if they actually viewed that taped interview posted on FR of Jack Stark, would see what an obviously awful person he is. (There are many, but hopefully less than a majority, who even seeing it would still deny his malevolence because they are blindly Left.)
But the majority of adult Americans will not see that video. Would it be on CNN? Would it be on CBS?
That is the power of the media. It provides the window through which a majority of Americans perceive (thus believe about) the world.
And "they" know it.
