Jim Messina, the former Deputy Chief of Staff and campaign manager for President Obama, would like you to know that he thinks Elizabeth Warren is a hypocrite. In a Monday appearance on MSNBC, Messina blasted Warren for calling for the breakup of Facebook and other large tech companies but still buying campaign ads on the Facebook platform.
I've never seen anyone who *had* a reputation for being powerfully-persuasive make such a non-sequitur of an argument. He's talking about "logic," but there is none to be found.
Does advertising on Facebook make her a hypocrite? Of course not.
But, your typical GOP supporter doesn't know hypocrisy from democracy! Most GOP plebs believe hypocrisy is: "Being objective," "seeing the other side," "compromise."
The GOP base treats life like a game of football. They root for their team (no matter what they do!) And, *anything* that makes fans of the "other side" suffer--is a good thing.
They've lost sight of reality.
They care only for "the win."
"Don't let the winner belong to the spoils." -F. Scott Fitzgerald
You nailed his sliminess: "Messina's willingness to leverage bigotry for political gain..." Why do the most egregious hypocrites look like they are wearing skin suits?

Thanks for an important update on just who Messina is and who he works for. A shame that MSNBC and others aren't paying attention.
