Thank you so much. I can’t see video on my computer so I always depend on what others transcribe or comment about the videos.
The thing that stands out to me in that conversation is HOW DESPERATELY Gregory wanted Cantor to call us crazy.
They said that would be the game plan going into the 2010 election. How’d that work out for them?
Now they’re trying again. But did you notice how HARD Gregory had to work to get anything that could even pass for a decent sound-bite against us? I wish Cantor would have laid the issue out flat and totally flattened Gregory like a steamroller. I wish he would have turned it on him and said that people like Gregory are the crazy ones. Cantor wanted to focus on issues I think.
But the whole thing revealed that the media is DESPERATELY trying to find people to say we’re crazy, and they didn’t get Cantor to do that.

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.

Fail!

I think he wanted to avoid addressing the issue whatsoever...and he did.
Butterd, you have done yeoman’s work on this... thank you!
I know you have been on the FR threads on the HillBuzz Ground Hawaiian Report. Tomorrow, if Rush does a mention (of the blog by the “HillBuzz Babes” or if Hannity discusses it further) we will know if we/they are on to “IT” as Cantor; Boehner; et all will have to trot to a microphone to talk it all back.
Anyone else wonder if a Facebook post, from up north, might be forthcoming? Fascinating to watch this all play out.
That was my take as well - I finally got around to watching the actual clip and I was appalled at David Gregory's line of “questioning”. He was rabid in his determination to force Cantor into insulting any American who has legitimate questions about why SO MUCH of Obama’s past is hidden.
That tells me that there is something there and the media is desperate to keep it hidden because they know all of their credibility (what little remains) is gone once the truth is known.
I didn't always agree with Tim Russert but I respected his efforts to get factual information in front of the viewers. I wonder what he would have done in this situation.....
