Getting back to the personal, beyond the political tactic there is a psychic cost born by the target of such attacks. The towering injustice of the situation is extraordinarily frustrating. But that is the commenter’s intent – to checkmate his opponent and either provoke a wild response or have the charge go unanswered and thus win the argument.
That pretty much cuts to heart of it. Frustration. And that's why, as much as I dislike the Clintons and Ferraro, I couldn't take any pleasure when JJ, Jr., Brazille and the rest of Obama's crew kept flinging the racism charge at them, with the media gleefully piling on. Bill Clinton's carrying a grudge, as he hinted today, and for once I hope he eventually, somehow, gets his political revenge.
