In America, a "racist" is one of the worst things that a person can be labeled. No one wants to join a "racist" party or vote for a "racist" candidate. Therefore, we must fight false accusations of racism from weasels, like Tommy Christopher, with every fiber of our being. Remember what Mark Twain said, "A lie gets half way around the world before the truth gets its boots on". I completely agree GC–which is why I had your back in previous threads about Saltsman.

Bush steadfastly took this approach - the <i>New Tone</i>™ and look what happened to his Presidency.

I understand the concept that responding to it gives it legitimacy I just don't agree to it... Take our friend Tommy here...Erick has engaged him and he's popped his head into two threads now and proven what an empty headed moron he is. On top of that...Erick's response to his first pack of lies has been posted at AOL so his credibility is not only being challenged at AOL and his imbecilic lack of even a rudimentary intilect has been laid bare in front of his own audience... Had he not been challenged...everyone would just nod their head and move on believing the lies he laid out...so IMHO engaging him did far more for Erick than it did for Tommy Boy! our silence in the face of these smears is our consent and a tacit admission of the charge in my mind and I am sick of sitting quietly by while the other side engages in it un-challenged…

The trap you fall into here is once you respond with a bonafide response, you've legitimized the issue. It's not a legitimate issue, so therefore deserves no response other than, 'idiot' (to the left accuser, not yourself). We fell into that trap with McCain and look what it got us. If we fall into that trap with the RNC chair we'll end up with Duncan again. I choose to ignore the morons in the MSM who are trying to make a mountain, and thus a news story, out of a mole hill.
