So Sometimes You Want to do Some Low-Risk Progressive Moral Preening and Collect Your Knee-Jerk Seal-Claps for Your Thick-Headed-but-Politically-Correct Statement, But Then You Accidentally Veer Off Into a Ditch and Say Something Condescendingly Racist

I think it's fair to play the Outrage Game here with Kelly Osborne because she was trying to play it, in her own stupid way, against Donald Trump.

So, if she screwed up what should have been the easiest tap-in Progressive Moral Peacocking and went Full Racist, hey, I'll enjoy that, without guilt.

But See: The Toilet Brush Campaign. H/t The Analog Kid.

Prior History: Bruce with a Wang! reminds that she played the Outrage Card on a fellow TV hostess for the "racist" claim of saying that dreadlocks suggested the smell of marijuana, or something.

She quit the show in Outrage over this.

See, this is the sort of person I do not at all mind playing the Outrage Game against -- there are civilians and then there are Outrage Terrorists. She's an Outrage Terrorist, and she cannot complain of having her own stupid tactics used against her.
