Yep, fat folks are the last group that one can openly hate and have it be socially acceptable. Of course, it is all done in the name of caring about the person’s health, doncha know.
Except Kinsley is openly saying that fat people have a moral failing. ONe of the many reasons I would love to see the magic pill invented that would make people slender, is so that naturally slender people would have to look elsewhere for their sense of moral superiority.
Last time I checked Obama still smokes. He PROMISED if elected he’d quit. Self control??? Stupid road to tread.
“naturally slender people would have to look elsewhere for their sense of moral superiority.”
Just kick their ass up between their ears and give them a place to look.
And smokers. It's okay to persecute both of these groups because their lifestyle endangers their health. However, we mustn't criticize promiscuity, be it gay or straight. No, no, no... sexual freedom is the only kind of freedom liberals recognize.
It would only take them 3.5 nanoseconds to find another group to villify.
Actually, Catholics are, but that's sort of a given.
