<<Or perhaps the allegations aren't true.>.
No, and Schecter's allegations aren't true either. There's a vast left-wing conspiracy against the poor guy.
<<Mikey seems to think that anytime he or his ilk launch a slur, if the McCains don't respond like some Pavlovian dog then the charges are true. That's a no win game.>>
I knew you'd have to invent some bullshit reason for the McCains not to have responded, but that one was particularly lame. This "slur" referred specifically to Cindy seeking medical treatment on three separate occasions, which would obviously have left a paper trail. If they regard a little wife-beating as a trivial accusation, then no, why bother to respond. Most people take this stuff rather more seriously. McCain, always nattering on about "Duty, Honour, Country" being the most important things in his life, is a little casual about the smear on his precious war-criminal's "honour" when he lets the smear stand uncontradicted, especially when a simple production of medical records would set the whole matter at rest.
I don't know any Pavlovian dogs who can order up their own medical records and produce them to the press, so it's kind of misleading to describe such a simple, normal and reasonable reaction to the "slur" as being that of a "Pavlovian dog," but I guess in the Bizzarro World that Republican crypto-fascists inhabit, Pavolvian dogs must be their lingo for "rational response."
<<And he accuses others of living in bizzaro-land. >>
Yeah, if the shoe fits . . . >>
