The 7 Dumbest Things That Offended Liberals

John Hawkins / Townhall Columnist

In a social media-driven world, everyone is a brand. When everyone becomes a brand, virtue signaling is destined to become an epidemic. When you’re a liberal, the best way to show how much more virtuous you are than other people is to become offended. The more trivial the issue you are offended by, the more caring, enlightened and, yes, virtuous you appear to other liberals. 

Moreover, if you think white privilege, racism and rape culture are running rampant, you’ll want to find ways to distinguish yourself from the masses, whom you view as troglodytes.

As the great Thomas Sowell has said, “The charge is often made against the intelligentsia and other members of the anointed that their theories and the policies based on them lack common sense. But the very commonness of common sense makes it unlikely to have any appeal to the anointed. How can they be wiser and nobler than everyone else while agreeing with everyone else?”

Liberals are so wise, so noble, so unlike all you racists out there reading this that they’re offended by things that no one else would even think about. For example…

WaPo: No Bill, Hillary Definitely Received Classified Emails

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

When it comes to his wife, Bill Clinton does get a little heated under the collar when people attack her on her trust and honesty issues, which directly ties into her ongoing email fiasco that has done considerable damage to her character. At a voter forum for the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders on August 12, Clinton said the following:

“The FBI director said, when he testified to Congress, he had to amend the previous day’s statement, that she had never received any emails marked classified. They saw two little notes with a ‘C’ on it. This is the biggest load of bull I ever heard. They were about telephone calls that she needed to make. And the State Department put a little ‘C’ on it to discourage people from discussing it in public, in the event that the secretary of state, whoever it is, doesn’t make the phone call. Does that sound threatening to the national security to you? … And the truth is that it was a mistake for her to use her personal email, even though her predecessors had, and her successor John Kerry did, for a year until it was no longer legal. But she should have known there’d be a different set of rules applied to her if she ever ran for president. The truth is, when the State Department asked all the previous secretaries of state to give them any records that would help them fill out their records — because they didn’t have a lot of records — she was the only one who gave anything.”

Muslim-friendly workplaces on the rise out of fear of lawsuits
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

Ibrahim Hooper of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), not surprisingly, yet again plays the victim: “The atmosphere is so toxic now that even having constitutionally protected religious accommodation in the workplace can somehow be controversial.” In reality, however, it is Hooper and Hamas-linked CAIR that practices intimidation on a massive scale, bringing lawsuits […]

Judge Orders Clinton to Answer Questions on Email Use

A federal judge on Friday ordered Hillary Clinton to answer questions in writing from a conservative legal advocacy group about her use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order as part of a long-running public records lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The judge's decision is only a partial victory for the group, which had sought to question the Democratic presidential nominee in person and under oath.

The judge said Judicial Watch must submit its questions to Clinton by Oct. 14 and gave Clinton 30 days to respond — a timetable that could push Clinton's answers past the November presidential election unless Judicial Watch sends its questions earlier than mid-October.

Judicial Watch is among several groups, including The Associated Press, that have sued the State Department over access to government records from Clinton's tenure as the nation's top diplomat between 2009 and 2013.

Republicans are pressing to keep the issue of Clinton's email use alive after the FBI closed its investigation last month without recommending criminal charges.
