Even then sometimes they make excuses and go down with the ship so to speak. I recall some time ago a thread here on FR about some leftist woman visiting a Caribbean Island where she was raped and she made light of the crime due to the rapist being downtrodden and oppressed etc etc. Hardcore leftists never give up. Recalls my reading of commies about to be executed in the Gulag would shout long live Stalin before the bullets flew. They all thought Stalin was unaware and a mistake had been made.
Oh yeah.
A lot of ‘em would rather self immolate than admit a conservative is right and they are wrong.
