Democrats hide behind misdirection

I oppose the president's failed progressive policies, therefore I am a racist. I oppose abortion, therefore I am anti-woman. I oppose same-sex marriage, therefore I am homophobic. So says the liberal left.
The Democrat Party cannot defend the dismal economy, administration scandals, the Obamacare 'train wreck” or a totally dysfunctional foreign policy, so they turn us against one another to excite their political base and appeal to their variety of fabricated victim classes.
When one can't win the debate, then isolate and demonize your opposition and resort to misdirection. Saul Alinsky ('Rules for Radicals”) would be so proud.
