 The Case for Cowardice | TPMCafe
With regard to some recent exchanges on universal health care, I think Greg Anrig's correct to say that only political cowardice can explain Democratic reluctance to get behind a big push on this score.
But to amplify what I think Mark Schmitt is saying here, cowardice may be the better part of wisdom here.
Voters who are primarily concerned with health care are already strongly inclined to back Democrats who pursue an incrementalist approach to health care, suggesting to me that the political upside to a bolder approach may be smaller than a straightforward read of the polls suggests.

 Dispatches from the Culture Wars: More Caricature Cowardice
When a major business entity caves in to threats of violence, they are showing cowardice and a lack of support for free speech, not because they are legally obligated to do it but because, in my view, they are ethically obligated to do it.
But that does not mean that their decision is neccessarily an act of cowardice, or that it encourages anyone to make more threats of violence.
So by calling it an act of cowardice or stating that it will lead to more threats seems to me to be blowing the whole issue out of proportion.

 The Ancient Art of COWARDICE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Cowardice is based on a simple philosophy: We all know that the best defense is a good offense.
We also know that the best offense is to attack when your opponent least expects it, especially if he is not even aware that a fight is taking place.
The gun is the ideal weapon of Cowardice because it requires almost no training, inflicts serious wound with minimal exertion, and can be used on an opponent (hopefully an unsuspecting one) from far away.

The Rushdie case and the cowardice of the West
More oppressive than the rabid appeals of the ayatollah — what could be expected from him in the matter of freedom of speech is known, after all — are the comments soaking with "understanding" given by the West about this outrageous order by a foreign religious leader, to kill a European citizen.
