“Some words have a force all of their own, a power that precedes them and makes even uttering them a risk; these words elicit great anticipation and the most powerful emotions—anxiety, fear, anger, and jubilation. Their use is often hedged around with elaborate rituals and taboos. A well-known example: The ancestors of modern Europeans refused to call bears by their actual name. Instead, they invented a series of gentle circumlocutions like ‘the brown one’ and ‘the honey eater’. … Today, ‘amnesty’ is such a word, at least on the American right. Its specter is so great, so terrifying, that the mere suggestion of its utterance is enough to send right-wingers into paroxysms of rage, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.” [editor’s note: The column, and its author, seem as pure a distillation of evil as I’ve seen lately – TLK] (11/11/26)
