No, the Left hasn't 'gone mad'......y'all miss the point. Racism is an industry in this country (literally), and it must be kept alive at all costs so that the NAACP, the Sharptons and Jacksons and all of their ilk, the Black Caucus in the House, etc. etc........all have cushy jobs, limousines, expensive suits, invitations to all the right parties, etc. Anyone or anything that can remotely be considered, no matter how ludicrous the 'stretch', as even possibly "racist" in the slightest is a target. Why? Because overt racism is so damned rare any more, this is all they have to resort to. They're digging in the dregs.
Think I'm kidding or just being sarcastic? Think again.
It's not insanity (at least in clinical terms). It's the leftist march towards totalitarianism. That's the only way they win - by forcing their opponents and skeptics to shut up. Sadly, we are seeing this more and more each passing day.
It's no longer just political correctness (which iits benign form is diplomacy). It's Stalinism.
I would love to see someone transpose the features of Hillary and Uncle Joe. Any takers out there?
