[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My liberal compatriots: stop defending Jim Acosta - the guy made a stupid and utterly idiotic remark about the British and Australians being the ones who speak English. What he was trying to do was to suggest that the policy was racist and he used a rationale that was nonsensical.

I am just amazed that anyone rationalizes Acosta's rant.

I obviously did not vote for Trump and I think Miller's motivations are questionable but I watched the news conference and he was intellectually head and shoulders above the likes of Acosta. Miller went to Duke and Acosta to JMU - colleges don't always tell everything about intellectual prowess but in this case, I think it does tell the story.

I completely agree with you.  Except for one thing - [b]are you the poster who keeps bring up where they each went to college?[/b]  If so, you're making it pretty obvious you (or your kid) didn't get into JMU and you're still bitter.  Otherwise, why the insistence on putting down a good school?  You're not exactly making liberals more appealing.

I don't think I have ever brought where one attends college up in posts previously because, in part, I have worked with people who went to less than stellar schools and they have been pretty sharp and competent. But the reality is that the better schools are more demanding when it comes to admission in relation to academic standards. Acosta showed that he could not think quickly on his feet and more to the point, he was reflecting his own bias as a reporter because he believes - probably correctly - that there is a racist component to the new immigration proposal.[/quote]

You are drawing a lot of conclusions about a two minute conversation. Where did you go to college?  :lol: [/quote]

You would not be familiar with it .......... neither would Acosta![/quote]

Must be "less than stellar," to use your own words!  [/quote]
