Don't open that dictionary ,it's filled with liberal propaganda!
Bernard Goldberg says dictionaries have a liberal bias :

O'Reilly, playing the voice of balance, pointed out that his dictionary referred to it as, "often disparaging and offensive."


Goldberg's answer? "Forgive my arrogance. The dictionary is written by some liberal person."

But then O'Reilly said, "We're living in a society where anything is uttered about any minority group, Media Matters or somebody else will say you're a racist. That's what they do."

"Exactly," Goldberg agreed. "That's an important point."

The kooky right wing pundits keep the comedy gold coming.

1. They are effectively destroying the language with BS statements like this
We're seeing a replay back to the days of the Tower of Babel, where a conversation with this group will become impossible because we no longer share a common language.

Oh, and what they'll be speaking will not now, nor ever have been, English.

2. Threatened by knowledge much?
Jeebus. Not even the wackest of the wack ever put dictionaries on the burn pile.

To think that, for a few years, I was worried there was something wrong with MY ability to communicate with the FReepers.

3. Communication with freepers should be confined to a series
of grunts and hand signals ,words are an affront to their conservative sensibilities.

6. Saying that the dictionary has a liberal bias, or even the truth has a liberal bias
is just another way of saying that conservatives are wrong - ABOUT EVERYTHING.
