The nightmare of the Left, is that they call somebody a racist, and people respond with "OK, so?"
At the point when it’s used the same way some folks use “kafkaesque” it essentially becomes a vestigial article signifying nothing.
“Oh, UKIP, is racist? Well, I guess I’ll just have to vote for them anyway.”
You are spot on. This should be a warning to the Progressives whose use of racist, bigot, hater has so devalued those words that Americans may soon respond as the Brits and Frenchies seem to have done today. The question the Progs should be asking is that the kind of country they want to live in? Words have consequences and American progressives may have miscalculated what those consequences will be.
