PC thugs "We have all become inured to assaults on free speech from the Left. After all, that's a large part of what political correctness is all about: free speech for me, but not for thee. It's so blatant that the phrase 'political correctness' is often accompanied by a smile — it's an uneasy smile, to be sure, but it is a smile nonetheless. ... We smile when we read about an elite American college that has enrolled the sin of 'lookism' — that is, the unacceptable belief that some people are more attractive than others — into its catalog of punishable offenses. ... "Just because something is preposterous does not mean it is not dangerous. ... "[T]he odor of malignity, of thuggishness, is never far from the lairs of political correctness. ... In some cases, the academic thought police even attempt to regulate what is not said, as when an editor of a student newspaper was removed from his post because he had given 'insufficient coverage' to minority events." —Roger Kimball, writing on "John McCain, enemy of free speech," Saturday at PajamasMedia.com
