Then, on you are a racist xenophobe as well as protectionist. This is just attempts at name calling because it works.

They use it to drown out any statistics, realities on the ground of real job losses, real wage repression, real cutting of careers short through labor arbitrage.

Unfortunately for most Americans that's really a scary insult. Who wants to be a racist? So, it works very well to stop people from looking at all of these global labor issues objectively and acknowledge the statistics.

Corporations are trying to turn the word protectionist to mean anything at all with trade policy modification and it's obviously false. Protectionism means tariffs and no one is recommending that (or few are) so this is pure corporate lobbyist generated spin.

One of my favorites is for people to say major studies, done by highly credible researchers, where the actual research clearly has correct methodology, assumptions, mathematics....some of these cats try to say oh don't you know that organization are racists? to try to discredit the report. My case in point is the Center for Immigration Studies. Many of their research reports are actually funded by them but done by some heavy hitter researchers who not only are not racists but well respected authorities. Then the research itself is credible.

I cannot say that about every organization, even every paper but this sort of blanket "oh they are racists" because they do not like the conclusion of some research paper is pretty pathetic in my view.

I was on another blog recently and literally they said the Government Accountability Office were racists. Just unreal.
