Whoa! Did you guys see Maddow, Shultz and Sharpton go after Scott Walker?

[blogslut]

They like mass called him on his bullshit about auto-plant closing in Wisconsin. It was some new after-the-action live floor thingy they did tonight that just repeated on MSNBC.

I dug it.

EDIT ADD: Here's a link to the video:

1. I loved them calling him out on that lie!

[AsahinaKimi]

2. I am frankly amazed he allowed himself to be questioned

With his arrogance and hatred of Democrats and the left, I am surprised he didn't just walk by and give them the finger.

3. Yes, we did!

4. Oops!

There's a link to the video in my OP now - for ya'll who want to watch/re-watch that bit of yummy goodness.

6. Thanks, might want to rerun.

5. It was glorious!

7. They did, but they didn't hurt him. You guys are reading this wrong.

The point he made and that everyone in the convention hall understood him to mean is that Obama's stimulus didn't reach Janesville. That it left 47 million Americans out. His jobs 'solution' failed. This is what they want to hear. They want to hear that they will really be saved, even if it's by the same group that got them into this mess to start with.

Ryan and speech writers pushed the necessary emotional buttons. This is a confidence game. No amount of gotcha by oppositional media will affect their mindset. Only Biden and Obama in the debates can re-frame everything and confront this. How well, we'll see.

8. true, no one is convincing anyone on either side

but I hope this helps our side wake up further and get it together - thinking of those who are still tuned out or taking an Obama win for granted

9. Oh, they played the rubes @ the RNC alright

But then, it's easy to charm people that are going to vote for you anyway.

I wasn't saying that cornering Walker would make any difference to voters. I was just expressing enjoyment at watching that weasel squirm and dance.

10. He knew he lost the argument

when he kept dodging the question about how Obama could have saved the plant when he wasn't even President. It was hilarious to see him repeatedly accuse Al Sharpton of talking over him when no one was talking over him. It's basically all he had to say.

[ancianita]

13. People were talking over him and he did have to quiet them down.

[nanabugg]

12. Yeah, and the come back should be:"So you believe that the stimulus should be bigger, then?"

I think they let him off the hook. By the time there could have been stimulus money for Janesville, the GOP was busy decrying anymore stimulus money and refusing to use the stimulus money out there.

14. I agree, he beat them imo

it was three against one, and at the end of the kerfuflfle he came out looking ok. It is a giant lie all around, and it is infuriating. It works because the unemployment rate is still so high.

I agree it will be up to Obama to figure out a way to handle it, I think he can. If he can frame it as "one of us is lying, which of us do you believe?" then I think that can work. Maybe he can do it at the debate. There is supposedly a rule where you aren't supposed to call your opponent a liar to his face, but maybe Obama can break that rule. Then again, Mitt will probably call Obama a liar first, in fact I predict he will.

11. Guess that's why he was crying during Ryan's speech

[truebrit71]

15. Wow!! Nice to see that boss-eyed (future) felon getting his head kicked in...

....I hope he gets perped walked when they indict him...
