I’m sure some people see social networking as the ability to be that much more graphic and hateful than they would otherwise be in a more visible, responsible and/or accountable setting. This image is a prime example, coming from an Anne Coulter tweet of “her new church” favorited by the SarahPalinUSA tweet account today.

These aren’t just words or phases. They are incendiary slogans that, whether spoken or billboarded to the nation as word pictures, convey that much more weight, recognition and resonance to terms, finely-crafted for cultural wedge-driving and linguistic repetition, that otherwise aren’t justified either coming off the lips of a TV talking head or floating around Main Street for a week in large, black-and-white type.
Now, the obvious reply to my complaint is that these terms are being used tongue-in-cheek. And yes, that would be justifiable if the irony was obvious. But, it’s not. Instead, just like the Muslim and terrorist stereotypes were plain to see in the ‘08 New Yorker “Obama bin Ladin” cover, but the irony wasn’t, the fact Newsweek recognized the need for the asterisk meant they fully understood that some number of these loaded phrases required not just explaining, but actually on-the-spot undoing.

Poll: One out of Five Americans Do Not Believe Obama Exists « Borowitz Report
In what might be the most serious challenge to Barack Obama’s legitimacy as President, a new poll shows that one out of five Americans are not convinced that Mr. Obama exists.
The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, reveals that 23 percent of those surveyed “strongly agreed” with the statement, “I believe that Barack Obama’s birth was faked, just like the moon landing.”

Disgrace
During his reelection campaign, TNR wrote, [Presidendt Woodrow] Wilson had told a group of suffragists that “[h]e was with them,” even as “he confessed to a ‘little impatience’ as to their anxiety about method.” From this, the magazine concluded that the president had “at best a vague, benign feeling about [the issue], and no conviction whatever that woman suffrage was creating a national situation which called for thorough sincerity, nerve and will.”
An evasive stance on a controversial civil rights issue from a liberal president; an insistence that the issue is primarily local, rather than national, in character; a complete failure of sincerity, nerve, and will: If these things sound familiar in 2010, it is because Barack Obama is taking exactly the same approach on gay marriage.

The president does oppose same-sex marriage, but he supports equality for gay and lesbian couples, and benefits and other issues, and that has been effectuated in federal agencies under his control.
David Axelrod, commenting on the Prop 8 decision.
Axelrod went on to say that the president also opposes capital punishment, but supports the execution of prisoners.
