Mark Steyn on Hillary’s Racially Tinged Joke: ‘Price of Living in a World Where One Little Remark Destroys You, the Cure Is Worse Than the Disease’

‘There are 40,000 reasons to hound Hillary Clinton out of public life, but this is not one of them’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STEYN: “No and she would not say it if you had made that remark either. Nevertheless, I am inclined to agree with you. There are 40,000 reasons to hound Hillary Clinton out of public life, but this is not one of them. I go back to what Victor David Hanson said at the top of the show. He used that line the cure is worse the disease. The cure is worse than the disease. A society that destroys people over one remark like this is actually a very ugly and evil society. Whatever wrongs it might think it is trying to right. Hillary — by the way I will say something else. Hillary is not the most sophisticated communicator. She is someone who can tell Cory booker from Eric Holder. One has a mustache. It’s not difficult. She is not using the line that all black people look alike to her. She is teasing about an old cliche that she is not using for real. Actually that ironic sense has been obliterated from public life. If you say something sly you are assumed to meaning it for real and you have to be hounded.”
