Primer On Political Correctness???

David Frum: The proper way to make sneering references to Jews Posted: May 15, 2009, 1:39 PM by NP Editor

Arkansas senatorial hopeful Kim Hendren is fallen into some trouble for referring to NY Sen Chuck Schumer as "that Jew." Quite right too! What kind of a hick uses language like that? Proper people know never, never, never to refer "Jews" but instead always to "neocons" - "Likudniks" - or "The Lobby." Then you may say what you please - and be welcomed too on any university campus or in the pages of America's glossiest magazines.

Update: Washington Wire, a Wall Street Journal blog, notes that Hendren made things worse for himself when he tried to apologize, with singular ineptitude:

“I don’t have any issue with Jews or Jewish people or whatever the politically correct term they wish to be identified as,” he told the Arkansas News Bureau, adding “I very much respect Sen. Joe Lieberman.” Lieberman is Jewish.
He added: “I was simply making a point about those two points. I believe in those traditional values like Andy Griffith, Aunt Bea, Barney and Opie. But now all that was lost with this statement.”
