Well, here\u2019s my eight words people need to stop redefining: Hate, victim, hero, shame, violence, survivor, -phobic, and white supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cComedian Hannah Gadsby characterized Dave Chappelle\u2019s controversial Netflix special as \u2018hate speech dog whistling[.]\u2019 Well, \u2018dog whistle\u2019 refers to when someone puts things in code because they\u2019re afraid to come out and say what they really think. That\u2019s what you get from Dave Chappelle? That he\u2019s afraid to say what he really thinks? And it\u2019s not hate speech just because you disagree with it, nor is it -phobic.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cAlso in the category of, we just don\u2019t like it, so we\u2019re just pretending it\u2019s something else is the word \u2018violence.\u2019 \u2026 Violence is when it hurts. It&nbsp;usually involves leaving a mark of some kind. Of course, innumerable things can lead to violence, but I\u2019m sorry, you can\u2019t take that word and use it for stuff that\u2019s just scary to you, or just verbal, which is something I literally learned in kindergarten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further stated, \u201cIn 2010, <em>The New York Times<\/em> used the term \u2018white supremacist\u2019 on 75 occasions. Last year? Over 700 times. Now, some of that, to be sure, is because Trump came along and emboldened the faction of this country that is truly white supremacist. It is, of course, still a real thing. But it shouldn\u2019t apply to something like, as more than a few have suggested, getting rid of the SAT test. Now, if we find the SAT test is slanted in such a way as to stack the deck in favor of Caucasians, if there are questions like, \u2018Biff and Chip are sailing a yacht traveling at twelve knots to an Ed Sheeran concert on Catalina \u2013 if Catalina is 26 miles away, how many White Claws should they bring?\u2019 Yes, then maybe, yes. But of course, the SAT doesn\u2019t have questions like that. So, it becomes the kind of ludicrous exaggeration that makes lovers of common sense roll their eyes, and then vote for Trump. Now, are there snowflakes on the right? Of course, there\u2019s no whinier little bitch than Trump himself. But this kind of stuff does tend to stick to the left a lot more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maher concluded, \u201cYou can try to change reality by changing the words, but you can\u2019t. It just stops you from dealing with it. One of the bad guys in \u2018Nineteen Eighty-Four\u2019 says, \u2018[T]he whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought[.]\u2019 Yes, it\u2019s Orwellian. And you know what they say, Orwell never ends well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s broadcast of HBO\u2019s \u201cReal Time,\u201d host Bill Maher criticized the \u201cOrwellian\u201d redefinition of words like \u201chate,\u201d \u201cviolence,\u201d \u201cand white supremacy.\u201d Maher said, \u201cGeorge Carlin famously had the seven &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-941356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=941356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/941356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=941356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=941356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=941356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
