The response of the middle-of-the-road to the cold-war slogan "better dead than red" (the Right) or "better red than dead" (the Left). (I can't recall who made this up, but I think I saw it in a logic textbook a decade or two back.)

"It was nearly a riot! The hippies were all shouting 'Better Red than Dead,' and all the establishment guys were shouting 'Better Dead than Red.'" "Wow. What did you do?" "I was caught in the middle. What could I do? I gave a half-hearted 'Better pink than extinct' and got out of there."
