When liberals are up to their usual scumbaggery ought one take the high road with them, patiently making one's case in gentlemanly fashion and rebutting theirs, assuming there is one, all the while ignoring their insults and slanders?  In The Liberal Slandering of Paul Ryan<\/a> Peter Wehner takes seriously and replies earnestly to the mouthings of the race-baiter Paul Krugman and others.  But slanderous scum like Krugman are beneath serious reply and it is arguable that replying in measured tones only gives them a credibility they don't deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n
