20. So, not the point. Slotkin can go on any program, but she should not give him the attention

he seeks. He has a history of nutty behavior and no one should put any "created" spin beyond him for attention. You don't know him, apparently, or you would not be chastising ME for my VALID opinion--as shared by others here. When one of ours goes on a RW podcast or Fox or any other media, it is well known what they are all about. That Smith claims to be a Liberal Democrat and "merely a truth-teller wanting to say it like it is about his own party" while saying anything and everything--no matter how untrue-- to create attention to himself is the problem. People watch him because he is outrageous and listen to him because he claims to be what he is not. Hell, if you watch him re: sports, you know he does that continually, but who the hell cares in that context...?

Have your own opinion, but I have every damned right to MINE-- that KNOWS what he is all about! He is all about Stephen A. Smith and no lie, no bastardized story, no bizarre attempt to paint a true Democrat as something they truly are NOT, is beyond him. He's shown that repeatedly. But you be you and adore him. Most of use see through him. Slotkin showed very poor judgement going on his show.
