[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2029856, member: 18914"] This is exactly correct. I have been amazed in the last week or two by how many people I know have fallen to the old canard as an argument. The reason? It is politically devastating and tends to disarm people in the public arena. If they could add that 2A supporters are cannibals and baby killers (whoops they feel they can say this one now) they would. In the US we have a common culture that despises racism and almost every child is taught that racism is bad - and properly so. However, that proper opposition to racism makes it oh so easy and cheap to slap on the label and tar the arguments or reputation of anyone who opposes Liberals in the public arena. Yes, my friends on OSA, Liberals who pride themselves generally on being the rational, thinking (and compassionate) party of American politics - versus we neanderthal Conservatives (oh and you libertarians aren't too far behind us in their esteem) - have no problem using vile labeling to avoid rational arguments as long as it gets them the results they want. I am less angry than sad about the situation because it makes politics immediately toxic. Quite ironic since Liberals usually call for some kind of "National dialogue" right after calling one, and all one's like-minded folk, violent primitive racist killers. [/QUOTE]
