Back during the debate over Obamacare, after protesters opposed to the president’s plan said some inflammatory things, U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) said “his GOP colleagues need to do more to ‘differentiate themselves’ from the hateful speech spewed in the healthcare debate’s final hours.”
Now that we’ve got some of the president’s supporters using some rather nasty language and insulting and African-American Republican with an offensive slur, we should expect Barney, given his concern for hateful speech — as well as his Democratic colleagues — to “differentiate themselves” from this hateful rhetoric.
You know how sensitive they are to angry cat-calls when even an audience member hurls them at a Republican event. They’re sure to take these angry allies of the president to task for their inflammatory rhetoric.
Well, now. My ear hears the man being labeled by “one of his own” down in the “hood.” Therefore, the special use rule applies.
Roll your car window down and listen to the words of the music blasting from the ghetto-boom-box-on-wheels next to you. It is full of worse stuff and repetitive to the point of remedial inanity.
Barney undoubtedly uses special privilege language based on his identity as a gay. I am thinking of the “f—ot” word. All “oppressed” minorities are “allowed” to say just about anything derisive about themselves, while anyone outside of the special club is sent to political correctness school and banned from elite civilization.
I am not making a case for the cretan who made the charge or letting Barney off the hook. What I am pointing out is that we have bought into playing the game of liberal outrage over fairly small lunch.
Barney is a fat slob……………………There, I said it.
Yet another politico I wish would just retire and go away.
Ironically, Blacks use the N word toward other Blacks all the time. But a non-black person cannot do that or it is “racist.” I ran a dental surgical clinic for less fortunate people at greatly reduced fees for over twenty years. This does not surprise me at all…
