Its the very acceptance of the term thats offensive. I would hope our side would not adapt the left's hotbutton words and the principles they imply.
Agree, but sometimes that is the only way we can communicate with the public. The Left/MSM have seized the lexicon. We need to develop our own. I find the use of "hate speech" less objectionable than Chertoff's use of the term "undocumented workers" while testifying before Congress recently on comprehensive immigratiom reform. We live in an Alice in Wonderland world.
