Giving a speech at a meeting in your state isn’t “kowtow”ing. Our candidates are all showing up at left-wing news organization debates; they aren’t “kowtowing” to CNN, they are trying to get a message out to as many different people as possible.
I would be thrilled if Sarah Palin did a speech at the NAACP, or to La Raza, or at the annual DCC retreat — because her message would be one that they all need to hear, and that could sway some to mend their ways.
The bad part of polarization is the refusal to attempt to communicate to those we disagree with. Note that here at FR, when I disagree with people, I see an opportunity to persuade them to my position — I don’t run off and ignore them because they don’t agree with me.
Good grief!
This is the same twisted bull shit we got with the Bush crowd.
