70. Your "challenge" has nothing to do with anything that I've said

I asked you to remove your "concern" for the CBC from your list of... whatever (I can't imagine anyone from the CBC would be happy to be on any list that makes excuses for the behavior of John Edwards and Eliot Spitzer in order to slam this president) and you responded with whatever you copied and pasted from your oft repeated list of grievances.

And for the record, this incident happened way before anyone knew that Romney would be the Repub nominee. This was before the Repub primaries even began. And Cummings et al response to the manufactured drama (again, ginned up by people who were just trying to create tension between the president and his black supporters) was laughter but also annoyance that they even had to respond to this transparent idiocy to begin with, a sentiment which I also felt at the time. The fact that you have decided to once again breathe life into this is... interesting.
