That's number 3 on the list Mark accuses conservatives of:
3. Projection/Flipping. This one is frustrating for the viewer who is trying to actually follow the argument. It involves taking whatever underhanded tactic you're using and then accusing your opponent of doing it to you first. We see this frequently in the immigration discussion, where antiracists are accused of racism, or in the climate-change debate, where those who argue for human causes of the phenomenon are accused of not having science or facts on their side. It's often called upon when the media host finds themselves on the ropes in the debate.

Ahh, it's nice to know that psychological projection is alive and well on Planet Markadelphia.
I've really got to figure out how to overdub this with the lyric "projection" in place of "suspicion".
Larry,
