#FuckHypocrisy

Monday, "The View" cohost Meghan McCain complained, in a bowdlerized way, about the profanity used by 17-year-old Parkland student David Hogg at Saturday's March for Our Lives rally:

"One thing I will say is that you don’t move the narrative when you use language like this. He said, 'It just makes me think what sick blankers out there want to continue to sell more guns, murder our children, and honestly just get reelected. What type of blanking person does that?'"

Fair enough. But here's Ms. McCain's Twitter bio, unbowdlerized hashtag and all:

Is her complaining about the protesters' profanity her way of saying she has no counter argument? If 17 people I knew were shot to death all at once, I'd be cussing up a storm.

Exactly... it's been a standard response to many protest movements - just look at BLM. "It's not that we disagree with what you're saying, but you're just not protesting the 'right' way."

The 'right' way, of course, is rarely explained by those complaining, though the implication I always get is that the 'right' way to protest must be silent and invisible. Basically, "We're fine with you protesting, but we want it to be easier for us to ignore." That this appraoch is antithetical to the nature of protest appears to be lost on them.

Amen.
