From Kirsten Powers via USAToday.
Kirsten is a FNC hottie --
but I usually disagree with her more than I agree, although she does come correct once in a while.
I found this at Ace of Spades HQ so I want to give them a H/T for the part I'm going to quote.
Some smart people over there.
Kirsten Powers: Leftists Create a New Dark Age of Intolerant Anti-Intellectualism
—Ace
Kirsten Powers: Liberals' Dark Ages
The terrific thing about mob anger is that it requires so very little thought.
She writes that few of these assholes have bothered to think and ask the question, "What happens when they come for me?"
Instapundit excerpts this article on PC mobism as a "positional good." (The article has been linked here before, but is worth a read if you missed it.)
And a member of the Washington Post's editorial board, Jonathan Capehart, patiently explains dictates that tolerance is a one-way street, contradicting a man who offered the rather uncontroversial idea that it ought to run in both directions.
Here's his quote -- and note the correction he makes to his words after blurting them out.
He accidentally spoke the truth with that "forced" choice of terminology, before attempting to say something less honest.
But the formulation he settled on -- "made to understand" -- is actually worse, as it mixes the leftist's adoration of mob coercion with the leftist's fascination with sinister euphemism.
Edge:
Mostly background on why dimocraps are the way they are. I don't have a lot to say on the topic except for a resounding, "Yep"
