More BULLSHIT False Equivalency. . .

I do like Chris Hayes very much, but he just had Steve Schmidt, Republican Strategist, on. . . While Schmidt rightly excoriated Pussy Grabber and the rest of the Repigs, he DID say that 'both parties have become extremist, leaving the American people in the middle.'

That's patent and unadulterated bullshit. I think Chris Hayes just let it go, as Schmidt was rightly tearing the Repigs a sparkly, new asshole. . .

he may be less comfortable in conflict situations...at least while the cameras are rolling. It's not easy to do.

often backs off, leaving a dubious or completely untrue statement unchallenged.

I like him but I often wish he had a stronger backbone.
