But calling private tax-paying citizens, who are simply giving voice to their valid objections concerning the loss of their private health insurance, racists, is playing the race card. Rather than counter those valid objections with facts, our elected representatives (including the president) have chosen to launch personal attacks against those who think their Constitution gives them the right to be heard.
I remember vividly the adage of defense attorneys in Dade County, Florida and other places:
"When the facts are not on your side, argue a point of law; when the law is not on your side, argue the facts; when neither the facts nor the law is on your side, attack the character of your opponent!"
Let's see, does that seem to fit here? You bet it does. The facts are against them (we will lose our personal health coverage); the law is against them (we do have a right to protest); so all they can do is call us racists - and in an Op Ed today by Pelosi and Hoyer: Un-American.
