161. lol yes and Obama was standing and Robeson was sitting what other differences do you want to cite?

That is why it is called an analogy. The issue is not the person answering the charge (although the responses are informative) its the tactic and who is using it. The issue is using an association to establish guilt. The Robeson story (as well as others from the 50's) is on point (try and remember what they taught you in law school).

This tactic was widely used by the moderators and by the transcript above by Clinton. It is the oldest and dirtiest of the right wing to attack progressive leaders because by definition they come into contact with other progressive people who the far right finds easy targets.


As to taking the story without attribution. This just shows the pettiness of your attacks. Since it references events a few days old we can assume that it is not yet published. Do a google before you slander.
