Some must see video of Greenbaum vs Von Spakovsky on CSPAN’s Washington Journal debating Voter ID. Greenbaum spent the hour trotting out the same old dogma against Voter ID with which more than 70 percent of the country disagree. Then an African-American caller called and dressed Greenbaum down about the patronizing arguments by the Left against Voter ID, proclaiming essentially that black Americans are too stupid or lazy to go get a Voter ID.
Hey Jon – doesn’t the Lawyers Committee pay for any media training? Crack a smile once in a while. Don’t looks so dour! I know the caller from Baltimore had to really put the fear of the Devil into you and your crowd, but for Pete’s sake, maybe just one smile???!
Greenbaum also got a right hook from Von Spakovsky regarding the case of US v. Ike Brown. In the Brown case we proved that voter impersonation was occurring at the polls in Mississippi. Greenbaum provided the irrelevant retort that since Brown was the supervisor of elections, it somehow didn’t matter if he was encouraging voters to lie about who they were. Fail, Jon. In the election when Brown was doing this, he was NOT the supervisor of elections – Buzzy McGuire was, because it was being run by a municipal democratic committee in Macon MS. Even in circumstances where objective facts can prove otherwise, some voter fraud deniers are willing to make up facts.
