...."Nevertheless Bennett was stupid to make a remark knowing full well that he would be PERCEIVED as racist. He should have apologized for being stupid."....
So you opine & simultaneously malign sans any substantiation***.
Although a large number of libs jumped on his remarks purely to score political points, there were a number of libs who defended Bennett's comments. And no one who has maliciously assailed Bennet, including you, has made a single legitimate connection between their vicious rhetoric & Bennet's remarks taken in proper context.
If we were to take your misguided, unsubstantiated opinion to its logical conclusion, no conservative would ever utter a word in public on any major issue we face today because undoubtedly some lib will hysterically (mis) "PERCEIVE" it as racist, sexist, homophobic, fascist, eeeeevil, malevolently theocratic, ruthlessly imperialistic, etc., ad nauseam. Since that would automatically make them "stupid", any further discourse would be unnecessarily.
So much for open, honest debate. So much for diversity of thought, tolerance & inclusiveness. Yup, just bring on the PC Police & the grievance-mongers to shout down any opposing POV with baseless mean-spirited rhetoric.
Ya! That's the ticket!
