Maybe Code Word Is a Code Word

Political commentary from the left has referred to some phrases used by the right as being "code words" for racism. Some of the phrases included are "food stamp President", "entitlement society", and "amnesty". People using the terms "Founding Fathers" and "Constitution" too often are also being accused of being racist. Yesterday, almost as soon as Rush Limbaugh used the term "Silent Majority", it was being described as being a racial code word. It seems to me that any time some term is becoming an effective term in the political discourse, it is deemed as being racist. The Tea Party has also been branded as being racist even though there is no credible evidence of it being so. I think most of America has moved beyond being racist. Now it is time for America to move beyond being "racist branders".
