Hide from view things like comments on rape and the problem is taken care of. But they are sure to slip up on the messaging because someone will get caught off guard on camera and it will all bubble back to the surface. Like Krugman says, it is the underlying policy that has to change and there is no evidence that that is about to happen any time soon so the ignorance will continue. Since there can be no compromise with ignorance it is important to constantly point out why the GOP talking points reflect an ignorant position. It will be tough to do, however. Why? Today Lindsey Graham was on TV for about the 15th week in a row talking about nothing but Benghazi so the problem spills over into MSM and how they choose to cover the issues and with such dishonesty. A free press would be indeed helpful and their love affair with demagogues like Lindsey Graham show that day is far off in the future, if ever.
