So Jeremy Clarkson's in trouble for calling the PM a 'one eyed Scottish idiot'. I'd say that's about right really - Gordon Brown does only have one eye, he is Scottish, and he is plainly an idiot. And yet there seems to once again be a band of people appearing from nowhere accusing JC of all kinds of terrible things for basically speaking the truth. Maybe I have to concede that calling him a complete idiot is based partly on an opinion and he may in fact do some things well, whatever they may be, but there does also seem to be rather a lot of evidence to back-up the PMs idiot-like behaviour.
Despite all this, some nutcases are saying that Clarkson is linking blind people to idiocy and that, of course, is a bad thing. Well yes it would be if he was saying blind people are idiots, but he's not saying that at all. These people are accusing him of saying something that he hasn't and are being give airtime on TV to try and re-enforce this lie and gross exaggeration.
Why do we pander to all these complete lunatics who are all so quick to jump onto bandwagons berating anyone who says something that is just a bit too honest for them to take. They are the ones that the rest of us should be worried about - not controversial TV presenters with strong opinions.
