Let's Talk

CNN is not one of my favorite news sources and Don Lemon is not one of my favorite commentators, but he got this one right. The openly gay host of a CNN opinion program was commenting on comedian Jerry Seinfeld's recent interview where he said that the PC atmosphere on college campuses has gotten so crazy that he and other comedians won't play them anymore. Said Lemon:

“After almost 25 years in the news business, you know who is the most easily offended and the least tolerant: Liberals and progressives, because many of them don’t really want to hear anyone else’s opinion but their own,” Lemon wrote. “Here’s a tip. if you only agree with people who hold your same political affiliation or who are of your particular race, gender or ethnicity, you are part of the political correctness run amuck problem. You are actually thwarting progress instead of advancing.”

He's right. I will talk with almost anyone about their convictions and both try to educate and look for common interests, but when all one gets is a steady stream of personal invective it is futile because they don't want a conversation, they want a zombie disciple and I have always had a dislike for zombies, especially when someone wants me to be one.
