      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted

      Meanwhile, yes, there are still people defending the notion that we should ignore the historical baggage of "concentration camp." My argument, to the contrary, is consistent. Language acquires a history, and you should be aware of & sensitive to that history when using words. https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1186699302741139459 …

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Media Matters

      See, this from Rush is what I mean by ignoring the history of a word. The dictionary definition of words matters, but so does the meaning it acquires over time.https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/1186685394579931136 …

          Yes, and also drawing on the specific history of lynching of African-Americans in the South, which frequently involved charges of sexual misconduct by black men.https://twitter.com/presjpolk/status/1186707578719477760 …

          When Clarence Thomas called his treatment by the Democrats a high tech lynching, he wasn't relying purely on the technical definition. He was implying bias because he was black.

          The reaction is meant to deflect, not that people are actually offended.

          In Rush’s rush to defend Trump with the dictionary definition of the word, did he miss the part of the definition where it means literally killing someone?

          Would that we had a media meltdown every time someone offered that 'this candidate massacred their opponent' in an election or that candidate 'killed it' in their speech, the scene of politics would be an awfully tempestuous one. ***** to the literalists!
