"I can understand the objection of people who did have an issue about it ... Having said that, I think we have to focus on the big issue of gun violence. It was my hope that, when I approached this topic, that this would be a conversation starter."
Ah yes, the great "conversation starter" which I guess is sort of like a sourdough starter for bread - you keep it going to make new batches except that in this case it's a lie that is perpetuated.
Goldberg is on to this, however, and warms to the theme:
After all, who denies that starting conversations -- or, as they often call them in academia, "dialogues" -- is the highest aspiration there is?
For instance, a Central Michigan University professor claimed last year that she was punched in the face at a Toby Keith concert for being a lesbian. She later admitted that she actually punched herself, but said it was worth it because she wanted to start a dialogue.
As the Washington Examiner's Ashe Schow recently chronicled, this sort of thing is common on college campuses. Students and professors initiate or exacerbate a hate-crime hoax or a false rape accusation. The orchestrators are perfectly happy to pretend the fraud is real and demonize anyone who casts doubt on the claims."
Indeed. That's how this sourdough starter works. As Goldberg concludes, the Left really doesn't want a conversation, it wants its conversation, which is in the nature of a diktat - do it this way or else! Perfect little Nazis and Communists these little buggers! And there are a lot of them around trying to impose their will on the rest of us. Such a tangled web they weave.
