Obama is the great hype machine

[Allan from Fallbrook]

NSR: The other adjunct to your observation, and the more ominous one in my opinion, is this: It suppresses dissent. One of the unspoken aspects of the PC movement is that it attempts to force a dialectic upon people. You cannot refer to someone as “handicapped”, rather, they are “physically challenged”. Someone is not “black”, rather, they are “African-American”.

Any deviation from this is immediately castigated, and called racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. This has the effect of suppressing free speech and expression out of fear of giving offense or being perceived as a racist, or worse.

Was the comment in question meant to suggest a return to the 1920s South and lynch mobs? Absolutely not. It was a poor choice of phrases, granted, but nothing worse than that. The immediate firestorm following shows the level of insane sensitivity now attached to any word that might possibly give offense.

It’s pathetic really. Orwell was absolutely right in his observation that controlling the language meant controlling the culture. There are certain posters here that would do well with a reading of “1984”. Big Brother loves you.

Hillary et al:

I think Hillary is a woman in name only. I am less concerned about Mr. Obama’s race than his lack of experience. At least Mitt has had a real job. It is time to listen to what they say more than what they look like. Turn off the picture and turn up the volume.

NSR,

You decry the PC police, yet you sit here and you are advocating that we should judge her by her intent. What kind of republican/libertarian are you?? Just because she is a beautiful lady, you automatically assume that she is just a girl and didn’t know what that meant, she probably just heard that on Imus? What if she were hot and witty like this blond beauty AC:

“If I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.” this is least objectionable thing she has said. I can’t quote anything else or I will be banned by the PC police.

Then what? What if she had bad intent? What if it was a slur? Then we shouldn’t have free press and she should be fired and run out of town?? Yep, that’s exactly what you are saying. You are no better than the left you claim to be lecturing. I didn’t see you defending Imus. Ron Paul was the only patriot besides me defending Imus.
You probably don’t get the Family Guy.

You should read “1984” and if you haven’t been brainwashed you should check out the “Turner diaries” and you might find sympathy with the encroachment of a socialist/commie bureaucracy and the oppression of most forms of liberty.

Allan:

Preemptive strike: I dont need a lecture from you. Its obvious that your mind has been sterilized from the left that you want to attack me for suggesting the diaries. For you my friend, I will give a more liberal assignment. You need to read from “From Freedom to Slavery: The Rebirth of Tyranny in America” if you haven’t already. Peace.
