I can understand Democrats being pro-idiot since that is their target demographic.

NO MORE THOUGHT POLICE
NO HATE CRIMES.....NO WORD CRIMES!!!!
I can hate anyone I like and if I hurt them, damage their property THE ONLY CRIME should be the fact that I hurt killed maimed someone. Hate or the use of words in a non slanderous way cannot be a crime under the Constitution!
Country’s going straight in the toilet

Perhaps if the courses of study at this college were more challenging, the students wouldn’t have so much free time that they would sit around concocting reasons to be “offended”.

Yeah...I used to know a guy named Abel Isham, and he was worthless. He wouldn’t loan me any money, and he ate cheese and onion sandwiches every day at work. I’m completely against Abel Isham.

Okay, I’ll stop using the word ‘idiot’ so I don’t offend the window licking retards. Is that better?

Sounds like the student group is just trying to keep people from using the word to describe them. Unsuccessful.
