Accusing someone with a winning argument of

Named for
journalist Spencer Ackerman, who promoted the strategy on the
email listserv "JournoList" as a means for journalists to avoid having to cover the Jeremiah Wright controversy.
This reckless spending during a
time of
record deficits is irresponsible.
Racist!
An Ackerman Gambit? I've
read the JournoList, too, y'know ...
