Rep. Barbara Lee rips Bill O’Reilly ‘code words’ (Ban "welfare queens,"& "food stamp president")
Politico ^ | 27 Mar 14 | TAL KOPAN

Rep. Barbara Lee is firing back at Bill O’Reilly, saying the Fox News host’s comments about race were “disgusting.”

“Unfortunately we’ve come to expect language like ‘welfare queens,’ ‘food stamp president,’ and now ‘race hustlers’ from the right wing and Mr. O’Reilly,” the California Democrat said in a statement Wednesday. “It is disgusting and divisive and should never be accepted in our national discourse.”

O’Reilly had Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on his program Tuesday night to discuss controversy over some comments Ryan had made about poverty and inner city culture that he later called “inarticulate.” Ryan’s remarks were seized upon by some on the left, including Lee, who called the Wisconsin Republican’s statements racist.

Lessay you were a member of a group soooo privileged that it became almost normal that you should casually drop the MF word three times into most sentences:

What step might you take next, to better your arrogance?

You’d start insisting that others stop using words that were fairly innocuous.

It would simply be the next step.

They should create an app so we can check what vocabulary is acceptable to the PC police at any instant in time. I think “doubleplusungood” is still safe to use, in any case.

Did it ever occur to these people that the only ones who can hear dog whistles are dogs? Also, if you continue to hear a high pitched whistling, you should see your doctor.

What a surprise; another unassimilated malcontent.

Is that code?
