    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Ross Douthat

    It is the precise mirror image of the argument by Trump partisans that "they'll call us racists anyway."https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1156364260303351810 …

    Buttigieg's line about "if the Rs call us Communists no matter what, let's just be Communists" is moronic and probably somewhat effective.

        Hilarious that you say this on the day that Reagan was outed as a virulent racist

        If the purest form of left wing economics is communism, then the purist form of right wing conservatism is racism? Yes, so glad we agree

        I'm always amazed many on the left are so desperate to disparage conservatives through their childish name calling that they will say things that are utterly stupid, like trying to state that pure conservatism is racism. Pure conservatism would be something like anarchy, genius.

        It was "crazy socialists", but close enough. The point remains that enacting bad socialist policy because someone calls you a socialist is still dumb.

        And Buttigieg didn't say, "let's be communist". What he actually said was, "So let's just stand up for the right policy, go out there and defend it". Just a wee bit of a distortion there by Douthat, which ironically, is a perfect example of Buttigieg's argument.

        Yeah, because no one would have rolled their eyes if someone called Sam Nunn a communist, or something.

        I've not heard any serious conservative or Republican call Hickenlooper, or Delaney a socialist... so NO, you're wrong.
