Disagreeing Isn't Labeling

Summary


Dennis Kostecki (Readers' Forum, June 8) complains that a person he met disagreed with a "liberal" movie star in a condescending manner. He then whines: "The hijacking of certain words today makes me wonder what it must have been like to be of Jewish persuasion in Nazi Germany." Kostecki previously described conservatives (May 29) as "a frightened lot who have fallen victim to a meticulously controlled program of induced paranoia."

Disagreement is not labeling. Calling people Nazis, disciples of Rush or paranoid is. Kostecki is not the victim, he is the perpetrator. This myopic passive/aggression is what gives liberalism a bad name. Perhaps Kostecki should confront his own "anger" and "induced paranoia" and apologize to those people who are "victims" of his "labels."
