Intrigued, I listened. I don’t get it.

1. Romney and Larsen discuss tax policy. Larsen mentions Ron Paul.

2. Romney dismissively says Ron Paul wants to do away with the CIA and FBI.

3. Larsen is pissed because Romney quotes Ron Paul “out of school.” Lets say this is correct and that Romney is completely out of line. Larsen should then correctly quote Ron Paul and explain why Romney’s dismissive comments is both incorrect and unbecoming of a presidential candidate. That would have been powerful.

Instead, Larsen comes unglued, “I’ve got 4,000 dead soldiers Iraq… trillion dollars… lies… debacle… and Romney is laughing about it.”

Say what? Romney laughs at Ron Paul’s purported desire to dismantle the CIA, and suddenly that’s laughing at 4,000 dead soldiers?

Jeez, you’re using Larsen misquoting Roney misquoting Ron Paul to prove the election is a sham? The only sham I see here is listening skills.
