Oh, bless his heart. He’s gonna break it all down for us:
Here's the issue in a nutshell: one political coalition in America things birth control is a good thing. The other isn't so sure.

Excuse us while we bang our heads against the wall.
@chrislhayes Come on, you can be more intellectually honest than that.
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) January 24, 2014
Nah. He can’t.
@baseballcrank @chrislhayes /doesn't want to.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) January 24, 2014
@charlescwcooke See, I will take @chrislhayes at his word as to what he believes.
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) January 24, 2014
@baseballcrank @chrislhayes @charlescwcooke …or you don't attempt to try, in order to make a snide "point." He's smart. He knows better.

@guypbenson @chrislhayes @charlescwcooke I'm a lawyer. I prefer to put people in the position of denying they mean what they say.
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) January 24, 2014
@baseballcrank @chrislhayes I don’t doubt his sincerity. I was saying that he doesn’t want to understand his opponents.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) January 24, 2014
@baseballcrank @guypbenson @chrislhayes I’m not saying he doesn’t believe it. I’m saying that he has chosen not to learn otherwise.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) January 24, 2014
Intellectual honesty is so overrated. Hackery is much easier.

.@chrislhayes That is seriously stupid. You forgot the words "the taxpayer paying for it for others."

@chrislhayes Nobody is trying to ban birth control.
The issue at hand is whether or not taxpayers should subsidize it.— midwestconservative (@MWC_RS) January 24, 2014
Fixed MT @chrislhayes: Issue in a nutshell: one political coalition thinks birth control should be free. The other acts like adults.

.@chrislhayes that's actually not what/how we thing [sic].

You got the "nut" part right if you think that's really what's going on here, guy. @chrislhayes

We thing so, too. But Chris just can’t seem to understand why we’re not swallowing his bogus line:
@philipaklein I wasn't trying to take a shot or be intellectually dishonest. I think that's what it comes down to, as a descriptive matter
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
@michaelbd not at all. And the idea that this fight is about religious liberty *entirely* just isn't true. It's *about birth control*
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
@michaelbd but also: you don't think birth control is a good thing and you're a conservative and that's my whole point! Right?
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
@michaelbd I am quite literally saying this in value nuetral terms: I think birth control is a good thing. There are millions who don't.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
@michaelbd the people who don't are overwhelmingly part of the other political coalition in America. Isn't that true, descriptively?
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
@michaelbd maybe I'm wrong! Maybe they're right! Maybe you're right about constitutional merits of the Hobby Lobby case. All that aside
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
@TPCarney Yes: there are people in center-political coalition deeply skeptical of freedom of conscience arguments. That's true!
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
Alright. No progress on this will be made on this on Twitter.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
Certainly not with Hayes.
Not if you start from a dishonest and ignorant position, no. RT @chrislhayes: Alright. No progress on this will be made on this on Twitter.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) January 24, 2014
But he just can’t seem to understand what made that stupid thing he said so darn stupid:
Conservatives are deeply invested in defeating the birth control mandate while insisting it has *nothing* to do with birth control
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
and what's more: it's insulting or preposterous to suggest it actually *does* have something to do with birth control.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 24, 2014
Mkay, Chris. That’s enough.
