Totally agreed, accusing someone of "playing the victim card" is a super lame oratorical trick, frequently used by people who don't realize that that's what they're doing. It's up there with saying, "now, I know it may not be politically correct to say this...", which is pretty much 100% of the time followed by some completely idiotic statement. The trick is that it sets up an environment where objecting to the idiotic statement is preemptively made to sound like some sort of hypersensitive political correctness.
