Some have called Cass Sunstein "America's Goebbels" since he sugggested that the government "formally hire credible private parties to engage in counterspeech," and was engaged by President Obama as "Information Tzar". So today's op-ed from the government's propagandist-in-chief, condemning those who choose to push back against political correctness, should be read with a Bernaysian perspective as Sunstein attempts to delegitimize any and every effort to argue against the government's view of the world.

Cass Sunstein’s article follows. Telling you what to think.
Cass Sunstein: Insanest Cuss
From Sunstein’s article:
“Mario Rubio says the âradical leftâ is using a âpolitically correct way to advocate Israelâs destruction.â
Was Sunstein trying to be politically correct by not using “Marco”?
Thanks Cass, when you SOBs are out of power, I’ going to beat you to death with that concept. Oh by the way I don’t remember Bill Ayers being PC until The One got into power!
It’s truly a credit to the American people that someone hasn’t done a Solzhenitsyn thing on him yet.
It’s been said that all internet trolls that are paid by the government work for Cass Sunstein.
A math-filled new paper, by economists Chia-Hui Chen at Kyoto University and Junichiro Ishida at Osaka University,
WAS IT COMMON CORE MATH THEY USED?
If you’re real quiet, you can hear Sunstein, Soros, and a whole host of other like-minded termites, gnawing away at the woodwork of Western Civilization.
And Trump is the bug spray.
He cites as evidence that conservatives are engaging in their own political correctness because they don't speak out against these orthodoxies:
... Here are some examples:
But these are, for the most part, positions, philosophies. (The Reagan thing is a dumb example.) Is he saying that if a Republican says 'the affordable care act is a disaster', that he doesn't really BELIEVE that?
Political correctness means you can't say something that is demonstrably correct, usually things that are quite obvious, for example: "Bruce Jenner is not a woman" or "Islam is a violent religion at it's core" or "Profiling Muslims is not racist, it's practical". Those are things that in the light of day, stand up to scrutiny, but you're not allowed to say them.
To say that Republicans are afraid to say "The United States shouldn't be doing a lot to combat climate change" is to suggest that this is a demonstrable and obvious fact. But, it's a lie, and so of course no republican is saying it.
Why am I even wasting time with this? This is like if a man put a dog poop in front of you and said "that's a diamond!" and you actually wasted time writing about why it isn't. I had knee surgery yesterday and I'm on Hydrocodone. Why didn't one of you guys stop me?
...btw, someone needs to photoshop ¿Jeb? 's face onto this...
Common sense speech control.
The statist’s step after common sense gun control.
LOL!
Prayers for a quick and complete recovery.
Good comments, by the way.
Well over half of the country, I’d say at least two-thirds, is in perpetual cower mode, scared to death the PC police will brand them racist or bigot or denier, etc. That’s bravery?
If you are a jerk, i will call you that.
If you are a queer, i will call you that.
If you are a clinical moron, I will call you that.
If you are a tw*t, c*nt, or skirt, i will call you that.
If you are a dork or a d*ck, I will call you that.
and so on ...
You want me to stop ... better bring your lunch.
Hah - thank you. Surgery went perfect, was elective and simple ... little meniscus tear that felt like having a piece of gravel in your shoe - no problem to walk 100 yards, but walk 2 miles and your foot is a bloody mess, then even when it heals, if the gravel is still there, next time you walk 2 miles it’s a bloody mess again. So same thing with knee. It was beautiful because it didn’t show up on the MRI, which is rare for tear, I was beginning to feel like a hypochondriach ... but my PT guy believed in me ... and sure enough it was there. But the most beautiful thing is that it was the last day of the year, I’d already burned through my out of pocket 4 grand deductible. So, to have it done Monday - would be 4500$ out of pocket, to have had it yesterday, free. And, once again, I am babbling and babbling. No wonder people get addicted to this stuff ... it’s not that great but it puts you in a kind of babbly stupid zone ... like being a liberal but far less harmful babble ... anyway THANKS for good wishes!!!
