[Arlo had said to Krimel] What about the PCization of "creation" into "intelligent design"? That was pretty sly backdrop attempt using language manipulation (ie, PC), wasn't it? Does that piss Platt off too?
[Arlo adds] Someone reminded me here that I forgot probably the biggest right-wing PC attempt being made presently; recasting "torture" as "interrogation techniques". I wonder if this abhorrent use of PC has Platt's teabags in hot water? I was also reminded of the right-wing demonizing that was done to the Dixie Chicks for their statement "Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." Between threats on their lives, unbridled hatred and invectives, harassment and the typical right-wing reaction of "Burn it!", the Dixie Chicks suffered one of the most vile PC attacks in recent times. Wonder where Platt's outrage against PC was then? [Krimel] Look we both know that the man hasn't had an original thought in years. He has almost not capacity for seeing the foolishness in what he says. He actually takes pride in being stupid and repeating the same tired discredited arguments over and over. The only point in responding to him at all is to show any sensible newcomers that no one really takes him seriously. It is kind of sad when new folks like Willblake2 actually agree with him on anything. It just puffs his ego and creates the illusion that he is slightly less clueless than his posts suggest.
