Traditional liberal political policy always has been uncomplicated, in deference to their leaders and followers:

Mount an outrageous insult against a well-known figure. When he inevitably replies, smear him as not potty-trained. Then the little libbies will feign shock. Sycophantically, the media will record the phony playlet for history. Over and over.

This scenario has played out millions of times since President-elect Trump spanked Hillary on Nov. 8.

Last week on the eve of Martin Luther King Day, libs trotted out an antique, U.S. Rep. Johnny Lewis of Georgia.

Not for nothing has he lasted 30 years in Congress as a zero. He marched with Dr. King, and that furnished him with an entire cushy career. His minders told him to insult Mr. Trump, and they would pretend to be outraged. He did. Mr. Trump did. Mr. Lewis’s minders did.

This morning it was the turn of The New York Times’s token black and noted race-baiting essayist, Chuckie (Me, Too) Blow, to pile on to Mr. Trump.

As unoriginal as sin, Chuckie read how other loose-lipped libs had responded following the foolish but obedient Mr. Lewis who stupidly said that Mr. Trump is not a legitimate resident.

Me, too, me, too, cried Mr. Blow, the cerebral laggard. “I agree with the Civil Rights Icon.” In scorching Mr. Trump for daring to reply to the attack, Chuckie dutifully employed the “civil rights icon” phrase that liberals were instructed to use whenever referring to Mr. Lewis.

Requiring no corroborating evidence to the pitiable charge since all of the puerile miscreants are libbers, Chuckie typically got the story backward. “I don’t need no facts,” is his working motto.

Ergo:

He insulted the victim, Mr. Trump – which normally “offends” libs — instead of penalizing the attention-seeking perpetrator who must have flushed away his meds. Again.
