"Says the guy whose compatriots spout off about "death panels" and birth certificates and Communism and crap like that."

It is a deliberate tactic. I've noticed over the past few years that some charge will come winging down out of the blue, like Obama's Brownshirts. They will parrot it for a few months, then start engaging in the very behavior that they have been accusing the Democrats of. Like the "town hells", which if shot in black and white would look remarkably like how the Brownshirts actually started. They've moved onto the second phase, which is threats of violence. Who knows if they will take the next step?

Anyway, what we are seeing is a preemptive attempt to defuse words and actions. If you frame their activities accurately, it seems like you are just petulantly repeating back charges they've been making for a while.

Supports my view that today's generation never grew up, you're still running around: "Mom, everyone else is doing it", even when they are not. Nothing but a buttload of excuses, "the end justifies the means".

Who do you blame when you're constipated?
