Not surprising since leftism has always been the political home for racists.
“Maybe Republicans should adopt this one and start accusing liberals who disagree with Allen West, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz of being racists.”
They should. Every day they should dilute the word more and more until it becomes a useless tool. An word uttered by the left should be met with cries or racism.
Basically turn “racist” into a joke. The same can be done with “homophobe” and “sexist.” The way to beat the left is to play their game, using our rules. We need to take Alinksy’s playbook and use it against them.
Every time I get into a verbal joust with a lefty, I call him a blathering idiot and end the conservation right there.
