Sullivan strikes again — all without getting it!

I wonder how Rubin would respond to a similar analogy about, say, “the first Jewish president”, as Peter Beinart has described Obama? If that had been a Newsweek cover, would she have written a post on how great it is that her candidate – running against a Jew – could now exploit anti-Semitism for his political advantage? I mean: there is no policy dispute here. She is simply delighted that her candidate can get an advantage through homophobia.

Or to put it more bluntly: If I had said the same thing, in a Jewish context, I’d be a bigot. What does that make Rubin?

I agree — when I was growing up, if you were bullied, you settled it on the playground after school let out. People watched and circled. There was a fight happening!

In the Liberal mind, “bullying” of the majority, representatives of the majority, or authority figures is far less reprehensible than “bullying” those groups that the Liberals have decided deserve special protected status.

On another note, it’s a stupid. Kids pick on each other and sometimes it’s bullying. That’s ugly but normal; it’s how pubescent people work out their positions in the overall hierarchy.

It’s just going to get worse too since the schools don’t allow the students to settle it themselves anymore.
