You noticed that too, eh?
When these guys are on the losing end, they play the "victim" card like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton play the "race" card.
Back in those long-ago days of the fifties, at the height of the Cold War, when Soviet Communism was the big booger-bear, Richard Nixon was seeking advice before his historic trip to Moscow when he was Vice President to meet Khruschev.
He received this advice from (I believe) a dying Christian Herter, former Secretary of State, who said:
"The Communists keep probing as long as they encounter mush. Only when they finally encounter steel do they back off."
The radical conservative movement in the UPC has encountered mush the last 30 years or so and has kept pushing and probing.
Finally, in Tampa, they encountered steel.
So yes, like Al and Jesse, now is the time to play the "victim" card.
