Time: Umbrage is the new political correctness

Talk about hitting the nail on the head. What happened to the thick-skinned conservatives who railed against the PC culture because it was only words?

that's pretty funny, i do declare.

 

As the piece suggests, it's a corny play on words. Big deal. It's nothing compared to the Ann Coulterites calling everyone they don't like "fags."

And heaven forbid we criticize this adminstration's spoon-fed spin. Who needs democracy, anyways?

 

Really. It's messy.

 

You do declare? That's mighty white of you, Ace. You sure you're not Obama?

 

That's not even the worst of Coulter's hate-speak. Better (though only slightly) to be called "fag" than "traitor." The loose way that term gets thrown out is disgusting.

 

...Traitor. *takes ball and goes home*

 

I don't like umbrage. However, I do like Umbros.

 

I used to own a pair of Umbrage shorts when they were all the rage

 

So when you are only partly dissed by someone, you should take penumbrage.
