".......But even when prompted with the facts, Walker — in Washington for the National Governors Association meeting — persisted, saying, “I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” and, “I’ve never asked him that,” and, “You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that.”
This is an intriguing standard. I’ve never had a conversation with Walker about whether he’s a cannibal, a eunuch, a sleeper cell for the Islamic State, a sufferer of irritable bowel syndrome or a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. By Walker’s logic, it would be fair for me to let stand the possibility that he just might be any of those — simply because I have no personal and direct refutation from him.
Walker justifies his agnosticism on grounds that he is avoiding gotcha questions. He caused a furor when he used the same logic last week to avoid saying whether Obama loves his country after Rudy Giuliani, at a dinner with Walker, volunteered his view that Obama does not. “To me, this is a classic example of why people hate Washington and, increasingly, they dislike the press,” he told my colleagues Balz and Costa, two of the best in the business.
This is insidious, and goes beyond last week’s questioning of Obama’s patriotism, because it allows Walker to wink and nod at the far-right fringe where people really believe that Obama is a Muslim from Kenya who hates America.........."

That's the point. As long as they are asking him something else and creating imaginary side-tracks they don't have to ask him anything about his vision. This will continue until he is either no longer a candidate, or if he is a candidate, the Compost can say that Walker never articulated a vision, hence is he is not qualified to be President.
LOL!!!!
No, that’s Frank Rich of the NY Slimes. I don’t know if Rich does political commentary anymore.

I have a very strong “live and let live” mantra. I’ll share the Gospel. I’ll share my views on actions, and then I become the one “dining with tax collectors”.
In my last band, during rehearsal they’d break every 45 minutes for a joint. I have not touched the stuff since 1977 and told them as much. But I just did my thing while they did theirs. Eventually they let me go because my mere presence made them nervous. I can be all things to all men, but for some I am a reminder of what they are doing just via my presence.
You can SEE Milbank’s nose in the back of Obama’s throat.
I would really like to hear answers back to Milbank’s debate point.
Milbank: “This is an intriguing standard. I have never had a conversation with Walker about whether he is a cannibal, a eunich, or a sleeper cell for......”.
We tend to let the Milbanks’ out there set our hair on fire instead of landing a blow that precisely explodes his thesis, here.
I can’t think exactly how to craft a response to blow him out of the water, but I know there IS one. Got any ideas?
Seems to me the knowns and the unknowns in Milbank’s own comparative “standard” are out of the bounds of relevance, and incongruent with reality, but then Milbank believes Walker is out of bounds.
We need though to answer this crap.
Ah, Gov. Walker is getting to the scum laden socialist commie b@$Ta%ds in the lib media. Go Walker go!
The way I heard it, he not only told the crowd that his opponent's wife was a publicly admitted thespian, but in addition that she had for decades indulged in this behavior in front of paying customers, some of whom were children!!
You stink!
“For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.”
So do you!
Well, not to ME...
Has the author ever thought to ask Obama why he has never released any of his personal documentation such as a birth certificate, college applications,
college financial records, college transcripts, passport(s), travel records, records of foreign residency, social security card(s), etc.?
No.
Of course not.
“This is an intriguing standard. I’ve never had a conversation with Walker about whether he’s a cannibal, a eunuch, a sleeper cell for the Islamic State”
But Dana, see, you’re a dork for thinking asking a stupid question is a “conversation”.
And you’re more of a dork for thinking you are even capable of asking an intelligent, relevant question.
Walker has had about the perfect response. He hasn’t talk to the man, how should he know? And, he slammed the media for being ignorant fools.
Doing great.
wow, the loons are out at the source, by golly. I can only take reading that garbage for a couple of minutes before I have to come here and lower the tension.
They’ll keep after him until he makes one mistake then explode it everywhere. We know how they work.
Yeah. He's more than usually incoherent in this one, too, which is saying something. To the question "Do you think the Constitution allows the President to engage in diplomacy?" the answer "I don't know" is unacceptable from a political candidate for that office. To the question: "Do you believe Hillary loves group sex with two-headed aliens?" the answer "I don't know" is nearly mandatory. If you do know the answer to that one, you'd best keep it to yourself anyway.
The questions in question were, after all, demands that Walker perform an act of mind reading to begin with. If Milbank wants to know if 0bama loves his country or is a Christian he should ask him personally. Asking other people to speculate is futile and insulting.
“Dana Milbank”
Hopefully their are enough lamp posts to go around to include him.
Yep. That s it!
