Tu Quoque

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

One of the standard tricks lawyers use at trial is to show that a witness has lied about something, then argue “We know that she lied about X so we know she’s a liar – what else has she lied about?  Why should we believe anything she says?”

 Remember all the Liberals who promised to move to Canada, or to quit their federal jobs, or to abide by the results of the election?  Turns out they were lying about that. 

 What else have Liberals been lying about? 

 Why should I believe anything they say?

 To be fair, Liberals never promised to abide the results of the election.  They demanded that Trump do so, and when he declined they claimed that was a direct repudiation of 240 years of tradition, constituted banana republic thinking, that he was attempting to start a civil war.  But they never said that the same standard would ever apply to them.  

 Rule No. 4 of Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ says: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”  Great – but what if they don’t acknowledge any?  What if their only rule is “Heads we win, tails you lose?”

The libs who followed Alinsky may have been depraved, but they weren’t stupid.
