MSNBC now using "R-word" in place of "Redskins"
Liberal media is having its own team huddle about the propriety of "Redskins" with an eye to manufacturing a new norm for liberals and Democrats. It'll be fascinating to watch it enforced against unsuspecting pols like Obama, who'll say something absentmindedly cheery in an interview about RGIII hopefully leading the Redskins to the Super Bowl this year and then be caught by surprise by the grumbling in otherwise favorable news outlets. He'll learn his lesson; in a few years, Democratic politicians will train themselves to refer only to "Washington" when discussing the local franchise. And then, once Democratic unanimity is more or less achieved, Republicans who continue to use the term will be branded racist. The Overton window will move on this. The question is how long it'll take, and whether too much grumbling at first will produce a backlash.
