Rachel's Remedy for Politically-Correct Paralysis

Rachel Marsden's latest column is available from a link on her website: "The Perils of Political Correctness".

O.K. Even I am having a tough time with this one! Her tongue-in-cheek solution to our problems in dealing effectively with crime and terror in this country is rather humourous, but definitely not politically correct.

She muses that perhaps we could:

"...remove the white guilt factor altogether and just get the Islamofascists to duke it out with the Indians? The Islamofascists want to kill non-Muslim infidels, and the Indians want everyone off their land."
Man! I couldn't even get away with that on this blog, and she can say that in MSM?

Yeah, it's a bit over the top.

The courts were not involved. There was no charge, conviction or plea bargain. Only her allegation of date rape.

It was the SFU harassment office that gave her money ($12,000). It does not appear that they recovered the money, though they reversed their decision, and the person she accused was given $60,000.

More Ann Coulter wannabee junk.

Does Rachel believe that she is helping in the hearts and minds campaign to dissuade young people from believing the terrorist point of view?

Does she believe that she is helping in the hearts and minds campaign to gain Stephen a majority government?

It's always fun to laugh at "political correct" silliness, it's an example of over the top liberalness. This kind of over the top stuff is not.

Does she believe that with the pit-bull ban, we now have plenty of empty fighting pits and we could throw these people she dislikes into, to fight each other like dogs?

Um, no, I wouldn't try to pattern myself after Rachel. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy what she writes from time to time.

BTW, I'm not sure if this particular column actually made it into MSM. It appears in her blog, but I didn't see it in the Sun. Maybe they thought it was too controversial. Hey! Somebody should email her and find out!

Joanne (True Blue) said...

O.K. I just found out where this column was published.

FrontPage magazine

That might explain it.

To liberal supporter:

Rachel is not trying to help Harper and the Conservatives, she hates him and the Party because she was blacklisted from working on the Hill due to her serial stalking as described above.

Thanks George, I just assumed she supports Stephen, because she acts a lot like Ann Coulter who supports any conservative, simply because they are conservative (though I think Coulter is now faulting George for not being conservative enough)

When you cut away the BS sometimes there is truth.

The whole concept of PC in language thought or deed is BS.

But Is Marsden out for anything but attention?

Joanne (True Blue) said...

PGP - Yeah, my opinion of Marsden has had it's ups and downs; lately more downs.

so I guess that if someone says something stupid then everything they say after invalid? OK then all of Al Gore's climate change talk is all bull. Glad that's cleared up.

Joanne (True Blue) said...

wbqbch - Personally, no, I don't believe that. I take every comment and editorial on its own merit. In fact, I have championed Rachel Marsden here in the past.

I just haven't heard the word "Indian" for a while. I thought that went out with "Negro".

Any website where the featured writer defends Ann Coulter's attacks on the victims of 9-11 is certainly a first class publication.

Are you referring to Coulter's latest book where she took a shot at the Jersey Girls, a small group of widows whose husbands were killed in 9-11 but who managed to overcome their grief long enough to support John Kerry's run for presidency and issue strong anti-Bush statements?

It's amazing how many lefties take umbrage with Coulter without having read her books. Have you read anything Coulter has written, jdave34 or are you basing your opinion on media reports?

Joanne (True Blue) said...

Great comments, Tango. Thanks for reminding me about the Dept. of Indian Affairs. Well, maybe Rachel's comments weren't as offensive as I first thought.

Writing a book, are you? Good for you.

Marsden information for those who don't know her past! She told lie upon lie, had an innocent man fired, and a Canadian university full of ideological hate mongers circled the wagons to cover up for her until basically entire Canadian society demanded the truth. The innocent man was reinstated with back pay, legal costs and monetary compensation also provided.

See some of the stories below and get very sick seeing how women are automatically given "victim" status and special treatment! Is this what equality means today?
