In re “Potato Day,” Hannity comments, “You can’t joke about ethnicity in any way, shape, or form, and that’s political correctness run amok.” The title of this piece speaks to “political correctness.”

“Potato Day” is not politically correct. Saint Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday. Potatoes have nothing to do with Saint Patrick. “Potato Day” is, exactly, a joke about ethnicity. While language is being employed to mitigate terrorism, it is being used to denigrate Catholic religion and white ethnicity.

The issue is not political correctness. The issue is more sinister: a doctrine of linguistic reprogramming.

Univerity professors have convinced millions of students that words don’t matter, and I’m sure Obama would support that conclusion, publicly at least. But words have emotions attached, and Obama knows that (or whoever is leading that part of the change america campaign does). It is how to tell the story and lie at the same time. People don’t grap onto low emotional words like they do hot words like enemy combatant. Our so called messiah Obama does not know how to be honest. Deceit and lies are all you’ll find under the suave fasade.

In addition: Andrew, I wouldn’t want you to give up BigHolywood and Brietbart.com, but I’ve seen you interviewed a couple times on TV, and I think yo are one of the best at preenting a vital message to the public. Keep it up, friend

I’m Irish and I am not offended by St. Patty’s day. But Andrew, you are too fat a cow to be on t.v.

As far as I’m concerned, Andrew Breitbart is one of the few people who get the left. The angry hateful spiteful left. Right, Mary?

Guys, yesterday both the pimps and prostitutes in congress and the senate passed a bill that would allow children to join a volunteer group, and that group is called “Americorps”! You see folks, Obama bought the GOP like a bunch of prostitutes, he bought them so that obvioulsy they won’t oppose his policies, etc. This Americorp groups is like what happend in Germany in the early 1930s, when a guy by the name of Ernst Roehm created a group called the Brown-Shirts/SA/StormTroopers, Roehm recruited young german people to join the group in order to protect the National Socialist German Workers Party/Nazi Party. And also in the Ex-Soviet Union under Vladimir Lenin, Lenin created a group called the “Young Pioneers Organization”, that group went out and indoctrinated young Russian children into communisim, and Lenin’s wife was a main contributor to that organization. This is dangerous what Obama is doing, and it’s clear to me that you liberals want to send your children to the US government! And here’s the link BTW!

I come here for laughs as you right wingers seem to be spiraling down in to almost madness,over Barack Hussein Obama.
He has to be An Other since no one out of Chicago politics had ever heard of him before 2004.
He is just a little bit to charismatic and articlate.
So he must be a socialist,communist,terrorist,maxist something and he must be getting ready to set up a new world order and persecute everbody on the right.

All of you(including Andrew Breitbart) need to leave that paranoia alone before you end up in a padded cell.

Watch this go into awaiting moderation

Maybe if republicans didn’t have David Duke, Santorum, J D Hayworth, Tony Perkins, Malkin, and Coulter as members the use of racist, sexist, homobigot wouldn’t fit so well.
Selling Obama waffles, Obama monkeys, playing Magic Negro,or showing a NOOSE next Obama’s face in a photo, or equating gay men with dog-f*ckers, or box turtle-f*ckers tends to make folks judge you HARSHLY.

get a mirror

Thanks, Andrew, for taking the readership in informing us conservatives on the role and importance of popular culture in politics nowadays.

Yes, PC is Cultural Marxism. No more, no less. And yes, it’s more a threat to our liberty than any foreign enemy.

This is a PERFECT political topic: every single person can see in it exactly what they want to see. If you are on the Right, you can agree and blissfully ignore the Animal Farm manipulations of the Bush Administration. If you are on the Left, you can play the defensive role or cue the finger-waggling towards the Right.

I love the “horribleness of things you can’t say under Obama”. How about things you couldn’t say under Bush?

You want to know what the most damaging thing in American Politics is? The two-party system that forces a national “Us vs. Them” that echoes college team games with the concomitant adolescent rivalries.

Pfft. Call me when someone comes up with the discovery of a novel and truly effective political strategy that isn’t designed to fill airwaves with “sis-boom-rah” from the followers…
