It's not the truth, it's meaningless political, partisan psychobabble from people who simply want to have discussions which involve talking points and demegoguery.
It's the same kind of meaningless crap we heard from those who claimed that "a vote for Kerry is a vote for OBL."
It does nothing to elevate the political discourse and ultimately this kind of flaming rhetoric does nothing but puts people on the defensive.
The truth that really hurts is that some have nothing but demogoguery in the political worldview.
