THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

SAVAGE: SARAH PALIN SHOULD GET CANCER

Dan Savage (left) and some other pageant queen

Dan Savage, head of a White House-backed anti-bullying campaign named "It Gets Better," has a long track record of bullying those with whom he disagrees. Until now, the low point was his attack on Christian high school kids. Now he's decided to become a cancer advocate.



It's awfully tempting to say something like, "Now seeing the upside of AIDS."  But that would be needlessly obnoxious and wrong...  And Savage tweeted something else that will be useful in the future:


He just made the case for why a random mean-spirited, insensitive comment - even wishing somebody would get a disease - does not rise to the level of "bullying."  This self-serving definition, provided by the anti-bullying expert himself, should be used every time homosexual activists try to shut down free speech on the claim that it is "threatening" to themSurely if wishing somebody would get cancer and other obnoxious comments don't amount to "bullying" then neither should a person expressing his or her personal views on issues such as, let's say, marriage. Sassy Dan would do well to think before he tweets irrational hate messagesJust sayin'...
