His likely reason for the perceived caving is simply that he couldn’t understand what he saw.For him and scores of others, including many many Freepers, it made no sense. To declare there was something wrong about it was a matter of perception.
He took seriously what was a joke. His expectations were for normalcy, for ordinary convention speak. The demented old man act could be taken as reality on one level and as an elaborate comic relief joke on another.
To have achieved both reactions is a tribute to a masterful piece of theatrics. Shakespeare himself would be proud of Clint
He came to kick a$$ and chew bubblegum...
And he was fresh out of bubblegum.
:)
I thought it was a fantastic visual.
The empty chair represented to me the fact that
normal-thinking Americans have been ignored
for nearly 4 years.
The empty chair has ignored us regarding
obamacare, illegals, gay marriage, etc.
and all the while telling us to go
_____ ourselves (through surrogates
and in-your-face EOs).
Clint talked back to it and ridiculed it for us.
It was brilliant and I adore him for doing it.

Sorry watching that repeatative stupidity on twitter is of no interest to me.
Excllent post, HoG!
wait for the inevitable “me too” moment at the DNC
MRomney will be ‘featured’ in an empty chair numerous times. maybe other right leaning types as well
They should have put CLIDE in the chair!
VERY GOOD!
That is the key point to both parties (and to all politicians) “GET THE JOB DONE”
I believe most all the people(voters)are wanting those elected “TO JUST GET THE JOB DONE”
and the stupid threesome on Fox this morning, Clayton Allison & what’s his name just made fun of it.
I guess they are too young to be smart.
I don’t understand why they just can’t report the news and shut up!
Why do they have to give their own analysis, which is usually WRONG!
Everyone who watched Clint’s presentation can remember 99% of everything he said with little effort. This is what they strive for in the world of advertising but seldom achieve.
Effective? Absolutely! Pretty good for a crusty old man, I’d say. The rambling stammering, stuttering and incomplete thoughts and sentences were intentional. (Obama without TOTUS) Brilliant!
That empty Ogabe the Communist chair should appear on stage at every Romney Rally between now and election day, and should be featured in every GOP TV ad.
It is a potent symbol of the Resident Nobody. When Eric the Red and Big Sis launch the False Flag DHS Crisis Sept or Oct Surprise, the Empty Chair can be asked to explain why is the desperate Omullah again attacking American citizens, freedoms, and institutions.
I agree Eastwood was incredibly effective. I enjoyed it.
Just the empty chair sez it all
Empty seat for Mr. EmptyHead-
Obummr the Rotten Egghead
"Just being fair and balanced," etc.
The campaign has mentioned that Mitt was a youthful prankster and Ann says he made - and still makes - her laugh, but we haven't seen that humanizing side. The jokes don't have to all be great. Poor ones are more likely to be reported - and to remind us of cringeworthy ones our own fathers made. So long as he doesn't pull an Akins there's little downside. Everyone knows he's serious enough when necessary, but more need to connect with him.
Then, when the schtick starts to become old they put a baby's high chair on stage.
"He had a tee time, so sent the understudy."
