I find his other stuff concerning ... he shows a clear history of setting up straw men and picking them apart ... generally implying that "liberals" of one flavour or another are poor mistaken fools.
Just because Lemoine can pick apart a straw man, or a single statement, doesn't mean that there is no racism, nor that we should ignore climate change, nor that blatant dishonesty by politicians is a good or acceptable thing. Perhaps he's aiming for a career as a Republican stooge?
