They equate silence with weakness. Consider the example of the Swift Boat Veterans. Kerry's advisors told him to not dignify the charges with a response. That made him appear week and slow to respond in the MSM.

My view is that we need to know what they are saying so that we can respond. JMHO, YMMV.
