Hiding Brutal Reality in Language
Michael Kinsley’s July 21st, 2008 column in Time Magazine spoke about Hillary supporters who won’t vote for the other candidate as “taking their revenge on… women who need abortions”. Why not just write, “babies who need to be killed”, Mr. Kinsley? It’s the same thing!
Earlier in the same issue of the magazine, there was a piece about the far left’s hand-wringing about how Senator Obama is clearly moving to the right because he said that “‘feeling blue’ wasn’t reason enough for late-term abortions” (illustrated in a graphic unavailable online). ”In his transition from upstart candidate to presumptive nominee, Obama has, to some of his ardent fans, come to look dangerously like the ingratiating Washington politicans he so often rails against.”
So what we’ve learned from Time: left-wing wackos are hell-bent on issuing death warrants to the unborn. And Mr. Obama is ostensibly coming around to court centrist voters.
