KEVIN FISCHER INVEIGHS AGAINST "MATZO-SKINNED LEFTIES"

Franklin NOW community blogger and legislative aide Kevin Fischer has added a new term to our language of reason and tolerance.

Let's say "hello" to:

"MATZO-SKINNED LEFTIES."

This addition to intellectual discourse appeared, for the first time, in Mr. Fischer's seminal essay of July 14th, 2009 entitled,

Ten Commandments For Liberals Who Want To Argue About Politics

Oy vey!

But Fischer says his choice of words is Kosher. "Matzo-skinned leftie" has nothing to do with a "racial angle," Fischer assures us. It means "thin-skinned. Thin-skinned lefties. If you're trying to find a racial angle -- there's nothing." [Oh My Goodness -- He's one of those "Jews are a race, not a religion people!--Ed.]

Thanks for clearing that up! I thought he meant "Matzo-skinned lefties" were "splotchy." Or "swarthy."

Kavli Norwegian Flatbreads are 100% wholegrain rye and very thin. Makes a Matzo look like a Bobka

In the future if Mr. Fischer would care to use ethnically identifiable crispbread references to deride his opponents he might call them "Kavli-skinned lefties." This might upset the Norwegians, but they are hardly as Matzo-skinned as the Jews.
