If-by-whiskey : ウィキペディア英語版
If-by-whiskey
If-by-whiskey in political discourse is a relativist fallacy in which the speaker's position is contingent on the listener's opinion. An if-by-whiskey argument implemented through doublespeak appears to affirm both sides of an issue, and agrees with whichever side the listener supports, in effect taking a position without taking a position.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Safire's Political Dictionary )〕 The statement typically uses words with strongly positive or negative connotations (e.g., ''terrorist'' as negative and ''freedom fighter'' as positive).
==Canonical example==
The label ''if-by-whiskey'' refers to a 1952 speech by Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat, Jr., a young lawmaker from the U.S. state of Mississippi, on the subject of whether Mississippi should continue to prohibit (which it did until 1966) or finally legalize alcoholic beverages:
The American columnist William Safire popularized the term in his column in ''The New York Times,'' but wrongly attributed it to Florida Governor Fuller Warren. He corrected this reference in his book ''Safire's Political Dictionary'', on page 337.〔
