carol! you said it anyway-- oh, carol, don't you understand you put homosexuals in a different category. well, at least i don't do that. it doesn't make any difference to me what a person is. although, i'm not surprised about this witherspoon. after all, he's a writer. oh, and all authors are homosexual, right arthur? i suppose eugene o'neill was gay. oh, that's different. he was irish. what has being irish got to do with it?! are you trying to tell me i don't believe this. oh, that's because the notre dame football team is polish. you know--you see you all have problems. to me, barry witherspoon is just a sensitive, warm human being. and now, so far as i'm concerned, i would just like to drop the entire conversation. sure you would. the only reason you're so friendly with him is--is because barry is your personal homosexual. you're prejudiced in reverse! you're not serious, walter. of course, why didn't i think about it before? some people show off their new cars or their new house. you sho

and that's fine carol.ifferent this particular election, than any other, is voter suppression. and we should talk about that. if you don't want to talk about a recount talk about why people felt like they couldn't go to the polls because they were afraid they didn't have the adequate i.d. is that really what we want our democracy to be about? we shouldn't make it harder for people to vote we should be makingate easier. >> i know but that's two separate things. >> no but i think it matters -- >> -- the vote's wrong. >> it matters if you're talking about why he could have lost wisconsin if she really did if the 22,000 votes remain in trump's favor and his lead grows then what happened? and i'm telling you this is another theory that we've not talked about, instead of pushing the whole recount effort. >> well, carol, all i can say is donald trump proved to be a ronald reagan at the ballot box and hillary clinton was no barack obama and i think it's as simple as that. >> oh, my god. you're right, she's 2.2 mill
