re: #407 iceweasel

But all the straight talk was right there in the bill, for anyone to read.

I certainly won’t deny that Democrats excel at shooting themselves in the foot, and the admin probably could have done a better job of tamping down the wingnut hysteria on this—- but let’s not put the whole blame on them. The cynical and manipulative pundits and GOP pols, who knew perfectly well what the bill actually said, chose to run with something false— to get the reaction they wanted. And it worked.

I’ve nothing against putting blame on the Dems, but at some point shouldn’t the Republicans be blamed for their own tactics?

IW … I don’t care who you want to blame … does not matter to me … go for it …
