What Steve M Said

Steve M At NMMNB nails precisely how the Right Wing Noise Machine works, detailing how this statement by Elena Kagan in 1993:
"I take it as a given that we live in a society marred by racial and gender inequality, that certain forms of speech perpetuate and promote this inequality, and that the uncoerced disappearance of such speech would be cause for great elation."
...becomes this.
President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, argued certain forms of speech that promote "racial or gender inequality" could be "disappeared."
We're right on track for the game plan of how this plays out, and approaching Step 5, where the Village openly wonders if Kagan will withdraw her nomination.
