Chris Dodd's Left School of Rhetoric

Like other leftists, Chris Dodd employs the rhetorical device of accusing your opponants of your worst behaviors:

'How many times can this administration and some of my colleagues here in this chamber claim that any debate, any dissent, or any action that departs even one iota from the President's policy is "un-patriotic?"Jingoism and facile claims about "supporting the troops," about "good vs. evil," and about "victory vs. defeat" can no longer be tolerated--in fact they should never have been tolerated.'

Should not have been tolerated? Who is attempting to silence any dissent or debate? Should not have been tolerated?

This is during a debate in which Dodd declared, "this resolution before us does not represent as forceful an approach to accomplishing that goal as I would propose." Dodd wants to cut off funding. This is supporting the troops? "Inverted logic," indeed. Dodd attempts to dress up surrender as were redeployment. He's a liar and so he accuses others of lying.

This is either because he can't tell the difference between victory and defeat, good and evil, or supporting the troops and withdrawing support, or he's a liar. I think he's not only a liar, he lying abouy who is lying and what they're lying about.

Not content to advocate bad policy, he wants to be a despicable person too.
