“We are feeding them rope and they are making their own noose.”

We keep fooling ourselves in believing this. I see no evidence that the left pays any price at all for their big lie stalinist tactics. In fact, they benefit greatly because let’s say 100 million people hear that Rush slandered the troops. Maybe only 30 million subsequently hear the truth and out of those only 20 million accept it. Therefore Rush’s credibility (and conservatism’s as well) becomes greatly reduced.

This was one of Saul Alinsky's dictums and Hillary, his faithful acolyte, is following it to the letter.
