My comment #172 was not a “slur.” And you are an example.
Oh yes it was a slur, and the common tactic used to avoid addressing the reality and results of US trade policy. You're as quick or quicker with your accusations of "protectionist" as Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson are with their accusations of "racist".
And it's all done for the same reason: a diversion and an Alinsky tactic used to avoid rational discussion of a topic.
