Dana Loesch is a Breitbart.com editor, CNN contributor and hosts a radio talk show. She is a conservative. The other day, she tweeted the following about Joe Biden: "I think Biden could debate a podium and lose." https://twitter.com/#!/DLoesch/status/197853698288910336
But by claiming that Biden is so dumb he could lose to a podium, Loesch involuntarily called Sarah Palin dumber-than-Biden and dumber-than-a-podium, since Biden won his debate against Palin in 2008 according to a scientific poll among those who watched it.
CNN.COM (OCTOBER 3, 2008): The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. said 51 percent of those polled thought Biden did the best job, while 36 percent thought Palin did the best job.http://articles.cnn.com/2008-10-03/politics/debate.poll_1_debate-poll-delaware-senator-biden?_s
Contact @dloesch and let her know how stupid and unfunny her tweet was.

(28,017 posts)it comes across rather lame. She did NOT say that, she did NOT refer to the Palin Biden debates, and she did NOT mention how badly Palin came across in that debate. She DID say that she thinks that the vice president of this country is dumb.
That should be the story, and that should be the starting point of a thread, not some lame comparison that did not exist. When lame arguments like this are made, the underlying issue, the insulting attack on the VP of our country gets lost in the weeds.
It is so easy to attack Loesch's tweet directly, and it would have far more impact than your gamesmanship. Why stretch it into something that it isn't?

(398 posts)Logic.
If Biden is dumber than a podium and Palin couldn't beat Biden in a debate, then Loesch said what I said she said, because logic also said so.
You are invited to start your threads in the ways you believe a thread should be started. In the meantime, I will do it my way.
