The Patriot Post® · Leftist Tourette Syndrome
George Will pretty much nailed the Left with regard to their constant cries of racism. Will said, “[L]iberalism has a kind of Tourette syndrome these days. It’s just constantly saying the word ‘racism’ and ‘racist.’ It’s an old saying in the law. If you have a law on your side, argue the law, if you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. If you have neither, pound the table. This is pounding the table. There is a kind of intellectual poverty now. Liberalism hasn’t had a new idea since the 1960s except ObamaCare and the country doesn’t like it. Foreign policy is a shambles from Russia to Iran to Syria to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And recovery is unprecedentedly bad. So what do you do? You say anyone who criticizes us is a racist.” Indeed, if you can’t win on the merits, destroy your opponent.
