Here’s a fun blast from the past. Lot of stuff going on here. As always it’s great to hear how Schiff responds to typical leftist questions and comments (my favorite: “those tens of millions of people were not in your economic class. They didn’t understand the theory, they just went to work and built things. And they will be out of jobs because somebody else made a bad decision. And how do we get our economy back?”)
Schiff is so good at TV debating. If I were confronted with that sort of nonsense I would be way too tempted to respond with something like “What? What does that even mean? My economics class? What are you talking about?” It really is a skill to be able to debate in that format. There are so many things you can do in normal conversations that just wouldn’t make good tv, and would easily make you come off badly.
As usual CNN delivers on unmatched levels of smug. And what’s funny is the way they attack the progressive think tank shill at the beginning, but then start picking on Schiff. Now that I think about it I actually tend to believe they just do what they can to try to look smart and hard-hitting…even if that means being belligerent and attacking people for opposite reasons. And to top it all off, the know-nothing bitch…(and I’m not saying that because she’s a woman, I’m saying that because she’s a bitchy person who bitches…there’s really not a better word for it)…have fun watching her try to make herself seem important.
