"I deny those allegations and I reject them utterly. They are completely false. I not only deny those allegations (and defy the "allegators"), I also deny the facile thinking and the superficial nonsense that led up to the making of those contemptible and scurrilous allegations. I think that those persons who are behind those allegations owe me and the general public a full apology and an open admission of the complete wrongness of their assertions, and I will not rest until I secure from them such apology and admission. My record speaks for itself, and is beyond reproach. Were I to remain silent in the face of these unjustified accusations and cynical and irresponsible attacks on my character I would not be faithful to those who have worked so hard in advancing the cause of freedom and equality in this great land of ours. No, I deny and defy those allegations! And I will not cease denying and defying them!"

(From the politician's handbook, volume 2. I came across it in Chongo's desk drawer. Anyone who goes into politics needs to study this sort of thing carefully so they have it ready when the time comes.)
