6. Sometimes, you have to fight fire with fire

Edited on Tue Mar-02-10 05:08 PM by GoCubsGo

Talking over others is the most favorite tactic of the right, along with obfuscation. Ratigan's guest was doing both. If his group wasn't racist at heart, he could easily have come out and said so. He could have avoided the whole thing by answering the question. What was he afraid of in saying "no", if indeed the group isn't racist? I can see how Ratigan got frustrated. He's not the only one who is grossly sick of that kind of shit. These do not understand politeness, and they have no respect for views other than their own. The only way to reach them is to use their own tactics on them.
