Mother Jones: "Liberals Should Knock Off the Mockery Over Calls to Limit Syrian Refugees" (UPDATE)

55. :facepalm:

No, the article demands we accept that Syrian refugees are dangerous, and then we talk about what to do.

When we do the first part, the Republicans have won.

If you'd like other examples, "welfare reform" required Democrats to claim welfare queens were a huge problem, and then we could talk about reforming it. In fact, one of our candidates wrote a book that included talking up the "dignity of work".

When we accepted that, the Republicans won.

Spending on social issues? We have to accept that tax cuts always boost the economy, then we can talk about spending. And once again, the Republicans won.

Single payer? We have to accept that single-payer is completely unaffordable (despite it costing less in every other industrialized nation). Then we can talk about healthcare reform. Giving the Republicans yet another win.

Do you need more examples, or are you just going to throw out another strawman?
