Why would they think silencing their critics is the best way to win debates?

May 12, 2013 by B. Daniel Blatt

“Liberal activists,” Kyle Smith writes in the New York Post, “unable to win the argument against Rush Limbaugh, try to silence him instead.” (H/t HotAir headlines.)

Wonder if that is what the IRS was trying to do with the Tea Party.

    It’s not okay when liberal activists do it, but it’s especially not okay when government does it.

    They don’t care about winning debates. They just want to make us sit down and shut up…by any means necessary.

    And all of their slogans, “Choose Civility,” “Teachable Moment,” “National Dialogue” are all code words for “Shut Up, Conservatives”

    Pat Condell has a recent video that brilliantly describes today’s “progressive” left and lefties are certainly not liberals. It’s well worth the 6.5 minute run time.

    The left has become the very thing they claim we bitter-clingers to be: superstitious and intolerant zealots. The dust-up over the Heritage Foundation report is a fine example: they can’t argue the points so they smear a guy for his PhD dissertation (at Harvard’s Kennedy School – a well known hive of right-wing reactionaries). Some moron at Daily Kos wrote the he’d written to the dean to demand that this never be allowed to happen again and wants the three professors who approved the paper held publicly accountable. Since the paper is on the internet and the profs already known, I can only imagine that Soviet-style show trials are in order. Firing squads and the gulag to follow?

    But it works. The cowards at Heritage force this guy out which, IMHO, taints any further research from Heritage. I would think that anyone who needs the job at Heritage will avoid any research likely to attract the attentions of the progressive goon squads.
