Maggie's Farm

Bill & Hillary Clouseau?
By Ralph Alter
Initially feared and prohibitively favored, the campaign of Hillary Clinton in its death spiral has devolved into Pink Panther-like absurdity. Originally described as a juggernaut, the terms that most accurately describe Hillary's campaign now are bumbling and incoherent.

Funny

If you live by PC, you will die by PC from the first area of discussion on this link today.


That is precisely why I sometimes purposefully go out of my way to be non PC. If one refuses to stand up to the bullies then one can only expect a good daily thrashing.

Once you accept the daily thrashing you're a slave.

So when I see some one like AL Sharpton, who began his national public career using Tawana Brawley as his foil and I see him do something that N-prople would say, "That nigger", well I'll just join in their free speech and use the same vernacular. Fair is fair.

But if you let the left control the nomenclature and therefore the culture you're begging to get whipped.

Tu quoque as is said in Latin.

Buddy,
meant to be used in traditional manner of "you too", as in "yo momma wears combat boots" tu quoque.

But to set aside the perhaps the misused Latin phrase the meaning remains....if you submit to PC you can't complain about it cause you're (plural) an enabler.

I personally like sticking it right back in their face.

Buddy,
Your analysis correct, if we use Wiki. Forthwith:

"llegitimate use

In many cases tu quoque arguments are used in a logically fallacious way, to draw a conclusion which is not supported by the premises of the argument.

You-too version

This form of the argument is as follows:

A makes criticism P.
A is also guilty of P.
Therefore, P is dismissed.

This is an instance of the two wrongs make a right fallacy.

Example:

"He cannot accuse me of libel because he was just successfully sued for libel."

Wiki cites this as fallacious. I won't argue the point.

My point, and I lack a Latin phrase to express it is, using the above example:

"He cannot accuse me of libel because he was just successfully sued for libel."

My point would be if some slimeball like Al Sharpton makes an accusation that he is equally, if not more guilty of, I will not simply take his criticism unchallenged, nor will I, should he use a term like cracker, or white bread shy away from going "nigger" on his ass.

The standard argument against doing this is that one is lowering themselves etc...we'll that may be true but over the past score years the lowering ,dumbing down, and PC'ers have gained the dominant position in dictating the cultural rhythm and the general cultural argot.

Well, I'm no longer willing to be an enabler for the PC'ers by playing by their rules.

Logic is great, but I would also point out it has, in the real world among men and women is not used very often. It's a power game out there and right now the PC'ers have the power ...you define the language ,you control the discussion.

So I'll invent a suitable Latin phrase " Tu 'Bite Me' Quoque"....I think that'll work.

I must admit, I think I've heard the expression "bite me" before but as you mirthfully framed it, at least it keeps the ball in the air.

I must admit I never thought PC'ers would succeed to the degree they have in defining what is acceptable. Now I've used the N word way too many times today. It's over the top, hyperbole, used for illustration. I do not as a matter of good manners use the word, unless to mumble it to myself when cut off in traffic.
I think I even have a book with a picture of MLK in it. Right now it's used to level my workbench.

Finally a big shout out to all our African American friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens in this BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

I read a very similar book.
It said ..measure with a micrometer......mark with a pencil ...cut with an ax.


Say did you here about the two cannibals eating the comedian?

One looked at the other and says,

"Does this taste funny to you?"

LOL I like that
