Hate speech

Quote:
If this kind of toxic rhetoric came only from crackpots, it would be easy enough to dismiss. When it comes from pundits, celebrities, and politicians -- people whose views tend to get respectful attention -- it does real damage, and should be universally condemned.
Jeff Jacoby makes some good points about trash talk in politics. Read his column here;

People who label those they disagree with "Hitler" and "Sambo" traffic in foul, foul stuff, as repugnant as anything ever uttered by Joe McCarthy or George Wallace.
Yeah, like trying label someone a “Nazi” because you don’t understand or agree with them.
