Bad Language

As a post-script to a parenthetical comment in the blog post immediately below, it really is amazing that the Left so often resorts, in print (or cyberprint), to vulgarities and profanities to make their points. My LEft Wing blogger Maryscott O’Connor seems only too typical: The attitude seems to be, “who needs to bother with reason, with persuasion and with respectful dialogue when it’s so much easier to spew F-words?” The number of words that had to be replaced in the Post story by the designation of “[expletive]” is truly astonishing. Somebody needs to tell these Lefties that crassness isn’t an argument and it’s not a political position, it’s just a character defect.
