Some day soon I will tire of Ann Coulter railing against the New York Times, but not today.
With an exhausting use of air quotes, the Times reports that: "The Republicans have railed against 'amnesty' and 'sanctuary cities.' They have promised to build a fence on the Mexican border to keep 'illegals' out."
In liberal-speak, that sentence would read: "The Republicans have railed against 'puppies' and 'kittens.' They have promised to build a fence on the Mexican border to keep 'baby seals' out."
Half the English language is becoming the "N-word" as far as liberals are concerned. Words are always bad for liberals. Words allow people to understand what liberals are saying.
I watched part of one Democratic debate, the one in Chicago where the candidates yelled "I am the pro-labor candidate," "Workers of this nation, unite!" and such. That part I understood. And I watched some of the Republican candidates speaking at an event in Iowa. Ron Paul, Huckabee, those guys I understood. With all the (air quotes) "debates," it does amaze me how hard it is to figure out what some of these folks are saying, much less getting them to say the same thing again the next day. Talking for a long time without saying anything has to be a difficult skill to master, but is apparently a required skill for national politicians and sports agents. Even the great savior Fred Thompson has fallen prey. He had a great opportunity to step in and speak boldly and has failed to do so. Reagan had great political skill but you also knew where he stood on key issues. Can the same be said of these candidates?

So true. "Illegal alien" is mean because it doesn't pretend to hide the real issue.
You pick up more support for "undocumented worker" because the populace thinks it's a government paperwork snafu.
