*My* problem is that these arguments have already been fairly heard, and already fairly judged to be bunk. Yet the liars on TV
a) recurit different people to repeat the lie with the same words, hoping to make it true. b) make up a new lie, forcing yet another round of fair-and-balanced debate. Lather, rinse repeat, thereby running out the clock. c) resort to la-la-la-I-can't-hear-you, also running out the clock.
You give them an inch, and they take a mile. They take advantage of that, knowing full well that you can't stop them, because *oh horrors* that would be "impolite" and "intolerant."
Nope, not this woman. Maybe Obama has the talent to thread the needle through the Middle Way, but I sure as hell don't.
