A few months ago I was accused of being a politically correct troll. Which I deny.

Political correctness is in fact killing the language. It's too freakin cumbersome.

Van Jones has no problem referring to "whites" instead of "Euro-Americans". And frankly, in spite of the fact that he is clearly a racist, the fact that he refers to "whites" as "whites", doesn't bother me a bit. And to this day I use the term "Black".

Glenn Beck has people boycotting his advertisers because he called Obama a racist. Welllllll.....the way he handled the henry gates affair was pretty danged racist. And he has surrounded himself with racists, soooooo....let's call a spade a spade. I'm sure there is the argument that he has people in his cabinet and his mother and grandparents are white....Well, plenty of people called Bush a racist (do a google search) and yet he had blacks in a couple of the most important positions reporting to the government. In fact, if you look at the influence that Condeleeza Rice had, it was much more significant than a marginalized Hilary Clinton.

And the fact is, Obama's actions are basically fascist. Why is it not ok to refer to him as a Fascist? Bush was called a nazi all the time and the description wasn't close to being accurate. At least calling Obama a fascist is accurate.
