New addition to Godwin’s law, let’s call it the Niemoller Fallacy. If I ever see another laundry list of “First they came for X, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t an X” then you loose the arguement.
Plus Niemoller, if he’s living, should really get some royalties for this every time someone (mis)uses it.
…and they’re not really “coming for Acorn”, either. Never forget the (D)onk mantra of “deny, deny, counter-accuse”
We’ve had the denials, now we are in the counter-accuse state of mind over on the lefty side of the world. I saw where one lib congressman stood up for Acorn just two days ago, first denying that the National hierarchy has any control over his “good Acorn” local outfit, then accusing the right wing of over-reaching.
His was a more obscure rant, but soon, Peloser will get in on that act.
The huge laundry list of leftist organizations kinda takes away from the dramatic effect he’s trying to create.

The comments section is painful.
My personal favorite – that there is no far-left in America.
“America is now so far right that your map is skewed”.
“You need to update your terminology.”
Riiiiiight.
