Why Win If You're Going to Wimp Out? (Rush Limbaugh asks Republicans)

BTTT Right.
Anybody hear Peter Wiseback's excellent piece yesterday when he filled in for Savage?
1. Thesis - An eggagerated, untrue attack on a targeted group/person
2. Antithesis: Horrified rebuttal of the lie. "No I did NOT, we are NOT!"
3. Synthesis: "Here, let me PROVE myself!" Unfortunately, now the "accused" embraces the "accuser" and tries to prove he is not racist/uptight/bad/crazy/hateful by coming closer to the accuser's philosophies and beliefs.

Example:
1. Trent Lott YOU are a RACIST and the entire Republican Party as well!
2. No. It's not so. NO NO NO I never have been. blah blah...
3. Here, I'll prove it to you - I am FOR affirmative action. I will CREATE a race relations committee. I will tour the South with my liberal black accuser!

And so the left edges incrementally forward. BEWARE Conservatives!Beware this tactic!
