ALWAYS The Victim. [View all]

An actual ad:



Silencing Christians?! Amazing how these people use the bible as a scapegoat for bigotry & oppression, yet the minute they get some pushback or any objections to their bigotry, hate, & oppression they ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS play the victim. Never mind the ACTUAL victims of their bigotry, it's all about THEM and THEIR oppression. The party of "personal responsibility" never seems to take responsibility for anything. Always just points fingers and blames others. Not even an apology, ever. Lied us into war, no apology. No WMDs, no apology. Blew a surplus, no apology. Ignored warnings about 9/11, no apology. Financial collapse on their watch, no apology. War on women, workers, unions, middle class, poor, gays, students, minorities, veterans, elderly, education, healthcare, science, etc. NO APOLOGY. Racist and homophobic statements, no apology. Just play the victim. Always the victim.

It's the Sarah Palin strategy: Say something offensive in public, then when others criticize you for it play the victim.
