Surfing through political blogs today, on Easter Sunday, I was struck by how deeply unhinged the political left in this country has become - as evidenced by their hyperbolic vocabulary.
Two articles on DemocraticUnderground.com in particular caught my eye:
1. First an article about the sermon preached at Obama's church today about how to survive a "lynching". About how Rev. Wright has been "lynched" in the press for the last two weeks. (Silly me, I went to church on Easter Sunday to hear a message about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I guess I just don't get it.)
People, can we stop using the word "lynching" unless someone is actually killed with a rope? Rev. Wright was not lynched. He was criticized. He was ridiculed even. But he was not lynched.
How big of a chip do you have to have on your shoulder to equate being criticized with being lynched?
2. an article about how former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer was "asassainated".
People, can we stop using the word "asassainated" unless someone is actually killed?
Eliot Spitzer was not assasainated. He was identified - as someone who had potentially committed an illegal offense. He then admitted guilt and resigned. He was most certainly not asassainated.
How big of a persecution complex do you have to have to equate someone being mentioned in the press to them being asassainated? Isn't that a major disservice to the memories of political leaders who were actually killed in the line of duty?
Get a grip, lefties. Ratchet back the hyperbole.
