Projection of the Left? They Are Sure You're the Bigot

The activist doth protest too much, methinks. Or something.

Again from The Other McCain - Who They Think We Are

The editor of Iowa’s Quad Cities Times has apologized for publishing the cartoon above, after being called out on Twitter by Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who lamented the “shameful” cartoon and said: “It’s sad that this is how the MSM views Republicans. I’ve met with grassroots conservatives across America & never *once* experienced the kind of bigotry that I regularly see from the Left.”

The cartoon they published is racist, but they thought it was okay, because they are sure that YOU are the racist, not them. That means that they think it is OK to publish a racist cartoon. (Which you can see if you click thru.)

This is why it doesn't (usually) help to debate Leftists. The fact that you don't agree with them means you are a horrible or a stupid person. They will never listen to what you have to say.

In this way, the “anointed” liberals transform every policy question into a test of moral virtue, attributing malicious motives to anyone who fails to support the liberal agenda. They are intelligent and educated; you are stupid and ignorant. They are generous; you are greedy. And, as always, liberals conceive of themselves as the enlightened benefactors of oppressed racial minorities, while their opponents are hateful racists. In other words, the disagreement is not about the pros and cons of any particular policy, but rather about giving the anointed another opportunity to display their moral superiority, hence Sowell’s subtitle, “Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy.”
