Name Calling

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 9, 2022

    IT’S THE MORNING AFTER AND SINCE I WRITE THESE COMMENTARIES THE DAY BEFORE I DON’T YET KNOW THE OUTCOME OF THE MID TERM ELECTION, BUT I DO KNOW SOMETHING ELSE. THE LANGUAGE USED BY THE LEFT TO DESCRIBE REPUBLICANS HAS BEEN DISGUSTING. ADD TO THAT THE CONDESCENSION.

    CONGRESSMAN JAMES CLYBURN OF SOUTH CAROLINA CLAIMED IF REPUBLICANS WIN BACK CONGRESS IT WILL BE LIKE HITLER IN THE 1930S. THERE WILL BE NO MORE ELECTIONS. FILMMAKER ROB REINER WENT FURTHER. REINER CLAIMED IF REPUBLICANS WIN THEY WILL SHOOT AND KILL PEOPLE.

    THE LEFT’S CONDESCENSION FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T GO TO THEIR SCHOOLS – AND THUS GET BRAINWASHED – AND WHO DON’T APPEAR IN OR READ THEIR LEFTIST NEWSPAPERS ARE SOMEHOW IGNORANT AND EVEN SUBHUMAN, IS CORROSIVE. REPUBLICANS ARE GUILTY OF NAME-CALLING, TOO (I GIVE YOU DONALD TRUMP AS THE WORST EXAMPLE).

    QUESTION: IF SOMEONE HAS CALLED YOU A NAME BECAUSE OF YOUR POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS, WAS YOUR MIND CHANGED? DID YOU SWITCH TO BELIEVING IN THEIR POSITION? MOST LIKELY NOT.

    PERSUASION IS BETTER THAN CONDEMNATION. DEBATE IS BETTER THAN DENUNCIATION. DON’T WE HAVE ENOUGH ENEMIES WITHOUT TREATIUNG OUR FELLOW AMERICANS AS EVIL? I’M CAL THOMAS.
