Why attack President Obama as a foreigner when the Romney campaign already has the racist vote?
Cenk talks to BuzzFeed correspondent Michael Hastings (aka “The Notebook”) about Mitt Romney and friends hammering President Obama with an updated version of the birther attacks, calling him a “foreigner” who is “not Anglo-Saxon” and “un-American.” Cenk asks, “What is the Romney camp’s point here? Do they think, ‘Hey, if we just lock up the racist vote we’ll be set’? Don’t they already have that vote?” Hastings says, “It’s not about the policy details. It’s about tearing President Obama down. I think we’re going to see more of these kinds of racially-motivated, suspect attacks.”

Cenk talks to reporter Andrew Gumbel of “The Guardian” about Anaheim, Calif., home to both the “happiest place on Earth” — Disneyland — and a deeply divided, racially and economically segregated community. Protests over two officer-involved shootings of unarmed people have turned into four nights of violent clashes. Gumbel says, “There’s a great deal of frustration that this is a city that is run for the elite, by the elite.”

‘Ron Paul is a rare Republican with principle — whether you agree with those principles or not’
Cenk wouldn’t have voted for Rep. Ron Paul for president — but he can agree with Paul’s advocacy for Federal Reserve transparency. “On this issue — you go get ’em, Dr. Paul,” Cenk says. “He’s actually a rare Republican with principle — whether you agree with those principles or not.”
