Comments on: The PC Speech Police and ‘Gotcha Politics’ http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-pc-speech-police-and-gotcha-politics/ Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:11:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Paul From Hamburg http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-pc-speech-police-and-gotcha-politics/#comment-32087 Paul From Hamburg Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:53:38 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/the-pc-speech-police-and-gotcha-politics/#comment-32087 The punch line to David Howard story was left out of this story. After David Howard resigned, there was an outcry of support saying that he shouldn't have to resign. Were the people of Washington outrages that white person would resign who had clearly done nothing wrong? No. Were people mad because they thought there was probably a person issue between Howard and Brown. No. Were the citizens insulted that someone who doesn't undertand the meaning of the word "niggardly" was working for the mayor? No. Howard's defenders stood up in protest because he was gay. I was visiting Washington during this incident and it was quite amusing. The punch line to David Howard story was left out of this story.

This is 2008 not 1008. Obviously the woman was not malicious, but even if she were, it it her right. That the ACLU and NAACP are not coming to her aid, and a total silence by the media who lose all bowel and bladder control over Freedom of Speech, reveal the true underlying totalitarian impulses of socialists.

I can hardly wait for the Democratic Convention. One can almost feel fear and anger in the mountain air. Ah, the smell of identity politics and political correctness.
