Liberal mindset in a nutshell, there.
1. Lie.
2. If called out about what you said in #1, then dance around and deny, twist or lie about the original lie. Or claim that what you said was “misinterpreted” by the clearly intellectually inferior masses. Or if that doesn’t work, simply claim you “misspoke.”
3. If you’re still getting flak, then go on offense and play the victim, stating that you are being aggressively attacked.
3a. Deny, deny, deny. Then say, "So what if it's true? It's not illegal!"
