^Its easier to try to bring the other guy down to your level, in whatever fraudulent way possible, than answer criticism with substance, policy, or facts.
What's the big deal about that audio? There's nothing wrong with what he said. Shit, didn't the infallible Reagan even believe in some redistribution, to a certain extent.
To get to the original point, seems silly for Mitchell not to acknowledge the tape. The tape itself is horseshit, but the fact that Romney and his buddy Drudge put it out there makes it news.
I wouldn't expect that BO's confirmation of his socialist leanings is going to affect the opinion of his supporters. But yeah, Andrea Mitchell looks like an idiot trying to "authenticate" it. The reason they won't run with it is because they're protecting their man. Find some tape of Mitt Romney answering a question about the pervasive attitude toward government dependence and this administration's advocacy of it (something else confirmed by this Obama tape) and they'll run with it as "another Romney gaffe."
Great post.
But aren't liberalism, socialism & communism all the same thing? I mean, they all end with an "ism", don't they?
We can worry about that after the election. The all-important thing right now is to make sure that Obama is reelected. Having Mitt Romney as president is unthinkable.
