REPLY ON DIPLOMACY | 2008-06-27
Someone wrote me that I should be more diplomatic.
The relevant part of my reply is here:
When it comes to using a dumb electorate, "diplomacy" (though I would refer to it as something else) is a good idea. When it comes to discussion within a serious leadership group this is not the case."
"My experience includes a long list of examples. One guy in college would come out to help picket or something, get offended by what somebody said -- seldom me -- and then, I kid you not, start crying and run off. Sometimes he took others with him."
"He was ALWAYS a liability."
In the real rough and rumble pro-whties face you had better get rid of the ones who will run away.
It's time to stop obsessing on non-racial matters. If someone will run out because of what one old guy says, it's better for him to run now instead of standing up bravely like respectable conservatives do and then backing out when things get serious.
