"We shouldn't let the left-wing pass Hate laws, PC Codes, etc, and decide what words should or shouldn't be used in public discourse."

They are doing so as we speak. Just a couple of examples:

New York City Declares The ‘N-word’ Off Limits For All | Sweetness & Light

And, of course, that was the point of Coulter's joke.

Agree completely. Look, the left never sleeps. They have a goal of reshaping society in their image. They -never- let up trying to achieve it.

Thats what makes so angry about "Captain Ed", Malkin, Hewitt, etc. for attacking Coulter. They are playing into the hands of the left-wing. And know it.

The whole "hate speech/PC Speech code" nonsense is just another way for the Left to control thought and public speech in this country.

That conservatives are buying into it, is truly "disgusting and Hateful".

There's a difference between private conduct, and public speech. I wouldn't invite a homophobe/racist to a dinner party, so he could pop off about "faggots" and "n-words".

But that doesn't mean we need a law or a college speech code to punish people for saying "bad" words.
