George Will: Intellectually bankrupt and bereft of ideas, liberals have no choice but to cry racism

If you've spent any time watching George Will, you know his outlook can be ...of dubious merit. He's generally been the poster child for the kind inside-the-beltway country club RINO that the base can't stand. However, every once in a while he still manages to knock one out of the park.
That was the case on Fox News Sunday yesterday, when Will was asked if the President and Eric Holder were race-baiters. His answer was pretty much perfect.
"Look, liberalism has a kind of Tourette's Syndrome these days. It’s just constantly saying the word racism and racist. It’s an old saying in the law: If you have the law on your side, argue the law. If you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. If you have neither, pound the table. This is pounding the table.
There's a kind of intellectual poverty now. Liberalism hasn't had a new idea since the 1960's - except ObamaCare, and the country doesn't like it. Foreign policy is a shamble from Russia to Iran to Syria to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and the recovery is unprecedentedly bad. So, what do you do? You say anyone who criticizes us is a racist. It's become a joke among young people. You go to a campus where this kind of political correctness reigns and some young person will say 'look it's going to rain,' a person looks and says 'you're a racist.' I mean it's so inappropriate - the constant invocation of this - that it is, I think, becoming a national mirth."
Will is spot-on. As liberalism flails, the true-believers have nothing left but personal, ad-homonym attacks. Like Hillary Clinton, they can't point to any tangible achievements stemming from their philosophy, so "Racism" has become their go-to battle-cry. It's all they have left.
