So how do we counter it? By doing what the right does - employing meaningless buzz words and catchphrases. So how do we answer these attacks? Repeat after me: "Jim Webb is not afraid to be politically incorrect."
The idea of political correctness is something the right has been able to use to it's advantage. How? They accuse Democrats of being politically correct. All the time. They've done it for years and years and years, particularly on talk radio. It has been drilled into the minds of the Republican base. Never mind the fact that often when a Democrat is being "politically correct," that Democrat is just being accurate. Nevermind that it is a meaningless term that reminds me of nails on a chalkboard whenever I hear it. Let's turn it against them.
Jim Webb is not afraid to be politically incorrect. Say it loud, say it proud.
