Attack the Person, Not the Issue

Have you ever noticed that the liberal media and politicians rarely discuss the actual issues? Rather, they use rhetoric designed to evoke emotion, and when challenged as to the basis of their positions, they typically use ad hominem arguments to discredit an opponent.

If you object to illegal immigration, you are a racist.  If you oppose abortion, you are against women's rights.  If you are in favor of traditional marriage, you are a homophobic.

A liberal sees no need to discuss the law as it applies to our borders.  Liberals see abortion and same-sex marriage as a 'right'.  If its a right, there is no need to discuss why it should be permitted.  

That is why there has been should a concerted attack on Sarah Palin.  She doesn't talk like a Washington liberal.  She actually discusses issues such as energy and smaller government.  That makes liberals very nervous.  Between now and 2012, the liberals will do everything possible to continue to discredit and destroy this woman and anyone who supports her.
