Every time the media goes off on a racially biased witch hunt over some imagined slight (on Obama’s behalf) , it tends to remind people of the gulags in the old USSR, whose inmates were sent there by the thought and speech police.
Do we, as a nation, want to spend four years tensely monitoring every word before speaking? If the answer is “no”, then Obama’s not the guy to vote for.
That is exactly what politically correct speech is about. It is a purely Marxist tool for separating people from freedom of speech through intimidation. The intimidation takes whatever form PC's adherents have been able to accfumulate. In Canada it is imprisonment.
