-Caveat Lector-
Their Speech is Full of Hate
by Linda
Bowles
The Wanderer; March 14, 1996
The current political campaign will test whether it is
possible to have an open debate on substantive issues.
Let's sample what has happened to Patrick Buchanan over the
past few weeks. CNN's Mary Tillotson compared him to
the religious fanatic Ayatollah Khomeini, NBC's Bryant
Gumbel referred to him as Pat Pukechanon, and AFL-CIO
President John Sweeney called him a racist, an anti-Semite
and a woman basher.
The San Francisco Chronicle used words like "divisive" and
"hate-mongering." Various media in Israel attacked
Buchanan. He was called "an American Mussolini and
caricatured as Adolph Hitler. Israel's English-language
newspaper,
the Jerusalem Post, said he was a "'respectable' anti-Semite in the classic mold."
He was even assaulted by latent liberals and fair-weather conservatives in the
Republican Party. Newt Gingrich called
him reactionary, General Colin Powell accused him of delivering "messages of
intolerance," and presidential candidate
Bob Dole used words such as fringe, intolerant and extreme.
Bill "Man of Virtues" Bennett was so pained that he endorsed Lamar " Quick Bucks"
Alexander. I was confused about
this until it occurred to me that Bill was probably drumming up more business for his
brother, Bob Bennett, Clinton's
criminal lawyer.
On ABC's David Brinkley show, Sam Donaldson chided Buchanan for believing the universe
was created -- as opposed
to just popping into existence by accident, which, as every smart person knows, is the
way it actually happened. And on
the same program, it became obvious that what really irks columnist George Will, what
sends shudders through his
delicate, elitist frame, is the idea that Buchanan is some kind of populist who not
only identifies with but actually
embraces the common man. Will's body language said, "Ugh!"
Alas, no matter how hard you listen, you do not hear love in these voices. Indeed, you
hear speech that is intolerant and
exclusionary. You hear speech that is judgmental. Dare I say it, you hear speech that
is full of hate.
I would caution my liberal friends that such inflammatory rhetoric might create a
climate of violence and push some
vulnerable left-wing zealot over the edge. Thank God that Buchanan is now under the
protection of the Secret Service.
There's obviously a price to pay if you dare talk forthrightly about moral decay,
social degeneracy, welfare dependency,
illegal immigration or the breakdown of the family, or if you are so bold as to
challenge some of the conventional
wisdom about trade policy and foreign relations.
What are Buchanan's sins? He is called an anti-Semite for saying that the state of
Israel has undue influence in
Washington, D.C. He is declared a racist because he dares believe merit, not skin
color, should be the basis for
employment decisions, college admissions and contract awards. He is labeled a
homophobe for suggesting homosexuality
might not be as natural as a day in spring or as American as apple pie. He is judged a
bigot for recognizing that we are
suffering a disastrous immigration glut and that, in the interest of national unity,
we need a time-out so those immigrants
already here can be successfully assimilated into the American mainstream. He is
referred to as an uninformed bumpkin
and a dreaded protectionist for believing the interests of America and American
workers should be the top priorities in
trade negotiations with foreign countries. He is called a redneck fundamentalist for
associating with a God who is
accused of harboring a set of politically incorrect, holier-than-thou attitudes.
Pat Buchanan sinned against liberal dogma. For this heresy, he became the target of a
smear campaign conducted by
experts.
Although denied, essentially every instrument of communications and mindshaping in
America is under the heavy
influence or complete control of liberals. All of these are used to steer us into
correct ways of thinking and, if necessary,
to bludgeon us into conformity. Even situation comedies and soap operas shamelessly
evangelize the creeds of liberal
fundamentalism. Jerry Falwell should be given equal time.
Let's face it. As far as many liberal intellectuals are concerned, the First Amendment
right to free speech does not apply
to talk they do not wish to hear. As a result, important truths, honest opinions and
differing ideas are taboo.
The massive campaign of indoctrination and intimidation has been largely successful.
The voices of dissent are silent.
Never before have so many Americans been afraid to say what they are thinking. This is
classic censorship -- when
individuals are indoctrinated to flagellate themselves, on cue, for the sin of
ideological trespass. Pavlov's dogs were free
agents by comparison.
Make no mistake, that community of people who are constantly prattling about
diversity, tolerance and inclusion will tie
you to a rack in the middle of the town square and heap scorn and rebuke upon your
head if you dare challenge one jot
or one tittle of inerrant, liberal gospel.
The overlords of our society, entrenched behind politically correct walls, cower at
the sight and sound of an angry
uprising of freedom fighters, led by a brave heart named Buchanan.
