Makes sense, right?   Certain conservative individuals and groups have been harassed by the Internal Revenue Service for their political views.  The IRS is a a branch of the U. S. government whose president is Barack Obama, a man who is half-black and half-white, and therefore black.  Those who criticize the targeting of conservatives by the IRS are criticizing the president.  But to criticize a black president for anything is racist.  It is the equivalent of applying 'nigger' to him.  Therefore 'IRS' is a conservative 'dog whistle' for 'nigger.'<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus 'reasons' the liberal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Am I using 'nigger' or mentioning it?  The latter.  It is an important distinction.  Philosophers are careful to observe it.  It is one thing to use a word to refer to someone or something, and quite another to talk about, or mention, the word.  Boston is a city; 'Boston' is not: no word is a city.  'Boston' is disyllabic; Boston is not: no city is composed of two syllables.  Same with 'nigger.' It's a <\/span>disyllabic word, an offensive word, a word that a decent person does not use.  I am not using it; I am mentioning it, talking about it to make a serious point.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Those who refuse to write out 'nigger' but have no qualms about other such offensive epithets as 'kike' employ a double standard.   It is also ironic that one should be squeamish about writing out 'nigger' when one has no qualms about slandering conservatives in the most malevolent and scurrilous ways.<\/span><\/p>\n
