Here's What Passes for "Dialog" for some on the Left
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...re_racist.html
Major league lefty Rob Reiner on Morning Joe:
Morning Joe co-host Willie Geist posed this question to Reiner:
"How do you explain the millions and millions of people who do not watch this show who actually like what they hear from Donald Trump and aren't taking messages and orders from us in the media, but they listen to what he says for themselves and vote for him? How do you explain that?"
"There are a lot of people who are racist," Reiner retorted.
Meathead did backtrack ever-so-slightly later in the interview, trying to say "not all" of them are racist.
What a schmuck. Wonder what criteria he uses to parse between those who are and those who are not racist?

Should we search for quotes about what passes for dialogue by Trump?
But yes, the distinction should made between Trump crafting a message that appeals to xenophobia and bigotry and the possibility that some people are drawn to him despite that message.

Why do you ask? Do you think he's a racist too?

I would think that an inquiry into your regard of Trump is appropriate in the context of your criticizing his critics.

One small part of a lengthy interview. Most of it was spot on.

I mean aren't you sad your party cannot nominate a normal, respectable candidate? We don't agree but you seem to be a pretty decent person.
I believe Trump is a racist because he espoused birtherism because Obama was black, leaving out the fact that Obama's citizenship was determined by his mother from Kansas, a US citizen.

well he is not but I respect your opinion
the birther thing was simply exaggeration for a cause
I never appreciated it much but no one is perfect in approach.

was it a worth while watch?
I hardly ever miss morning Joe but I had a busy day today and skipped it in favor of some soothing music before I left the house. Normally I let the music wait till after the show... but I had to skip one of the two this morning.
What other shows do you normally watch?
You know what? I am gonna start a thread about it. I think it would be interesting.
