Define ‘Hate Group’

Also, define “secretly funneled,” because I’m having a little trouble with Josh Dorner’s Think Progress headline: Newt Gingrich Secretly Funneled $350,000 To Anti-Gay Hate Groups Last Year Except, of course, that there wasn’t anything “secret” about the “funneling”: It was duly reported as required by law and, as Think Progress itself notes, Gingrich was outspoken […]

It’s their tiptoe-around-unfortunate-facts attitude — this politically-correct worldview whose peculiar biases are never explicitly admitted, but which we must instead attempt to infer by occasional clues — that creates a distinct species of suspicion, because there’s this cone of silence surrounding things people know but can never say out […]
