Subject: RE: DISCUSS--Polit.Correct-Bush-fascism?????
If I can figure out the meaning of the original post, it is that it's not acceptable for the Right to use the term, "politically correct," in speaking of the Left, but it is acceptable for the Left to use the terms, "goons, robber barons, gun thugs and plain old suit-and-tie thieves," not to mention "Facists," in speaking of the Right.

Why is this not a double standard?

Or is it the position of the Left that "A double standard is perfectly all right, because we're morally superior to them?" Keep in mind that they feel morally superior to you. And us rational anarchists feel morally superior to both of your houses.
