The Credo of republican spin rhetoric is to accuse the opposition of the very thing the republicans are guilty of.

It works every time. Think about it.

Once you put the opposition into a defensive mode, the arguement branches off into "no we don't" instead of what the issue was originally.

Also notice how the talking head put down artists interject an untrue remark about the demeanor of the opposition just to make them mad and thereby make it come true.
