Rus: I disagree. I think gold makes some excellent points. The problem is that any mention of the underlying motives driving the Left are immediately demonized and deemed racist. Far from it. What he was saying is not only true, but easily proved.

Look at the Left’s embracing of various groups (regardless of substance) and solely because of color, gender or orientation. If you attempt to attack these groups based on their politics, or beliefs, or policies, you become racist, or sexist or homophobic.

While the GOP and the Right are often accused (rightly) of conducting smear campaigns, the Dems and the Left are equally adept.

When confronted with a strong line of attack, Drunkle fell back on a common theme: Accuse the accuser of a more serious, but completely unrelated, flaw. In this case, racism.

This is why having an open discourse and dialogue of any productivity is near dead in this country at this time. It’s sad really.
