Words matter

I'm not going to talk about the Virgina Tech guy. He was crazy. We can't protect ourselves against crazies who don't care if they die. And this will always be true, anywhere in the world.

Here's what I want to say today, regarding language:

The members of the political right use the word "Liberal" the way Hitler used the word "Jew."

Next time you hear W say it or Rush Limbaugh say it, make the mental switch. It's interesting.
