I actually think it would be great if the GOP tried to attack us over those semantics. I can just see it, "We only invited her to our fundraiser, not to the White House!" They would only be bringing more attention to the fact that they DID invite her to the fundraiser. It would make great Daily Show material, and leave the White House looking really stupid in the end.

That being said though, you are correct we do need to be careful to make sure the things we say are accurate, and we should not make things like that up even if it does trap them into making a stupid response. We do need to take the higher ground, but if someone were to make a semantic mistake such as that one and the White House jumped on it I would be cheering.
