Sadly, but true...
I hate political correctness - as I said in my recent Letter to the Editor in one of the local papers:
Political Correctness is the last vestige of the insufferable who cannot win on merit.
As Doug pointed out (Negro 101 Part 1 and Negro 101 Part 2), the PC Po-lice were out in full force this past week - all over the use of the word "negro" by a senior citizen's in a Letter to the Editor. Never mind that he, after voting for Obama, called Obama's ideas all but nutzy - that was left totally alone (imagine that, no defending of the indefensible by the committed!). No, the "we want everyone to be tolerant NOW" crowd certainly had a certain, shall we say, lack of tolerance themselves and went after the use of a single word.
Thus, when I saw this by Glen Reynolds of Instapundit (hey, he's linked to us in the past - we're just returning the favor!), I had to put it up - a great summary:
JAMES KIRCHICK: Jonathan Crutchley discovers how intolerant the gay community can be.
Money line from Glenn:
Is it just me, or does it seem that the people who are the most demanding of tolerance tend to be those least likely to display it themselves?
Indeed!
