Roy Sekoff vs. Joe Klein on Fearmongering
Huffington Post founding editor Roy Sekoff hammers down a Republican and Joe Klein on Senator Clinton's New Hampshire terrorist attack gaffe.
The point Roy made, and Abrams and the rest failed to understand, is that talking about national security isn't the problem -- the problem is a presidential candidate predicting an inevitable terrorist attack to scare up votes. In other words, when someone like Senator Clinton predicts the certainty of a terrorist attack in order to discuss her own ability to lead, she incites fear for political purposes. That's fearmongering.

That was hard to watch. Roy is just too smart for those shows. I just can't watch the ask a question then interrupt the answer that you don't like format. Roy sure has a lot of patience.

It's just so the host has someone to punch around. If it were about a meaningful discussion, they wouldn't try to fit it into four minute segments. Or include some DoeBot that faithfully regurgitates whatever she is told to (I hear that model comes also with the "Throw something out there about the Democrats not talking about the successful surge" Subroutine).
