WashingtonTimes: The Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs is eschewing the terms “felon” and “convict” when officials refer to individuals convicted of crimes, opting instead for less “disparaging labels,” Assistant Attorney General Karol Mason announced last week.

Thank to T Mac in Virginia we now just call them Democratic Voters.
How about “obamason”?
That’s silly, but even if they won’t say it, we’ll still get to say “convicted felon Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
How about “lawfully challenged?”
“Judicially underprivileged.”
Jail birds
It’s because criminals and felons can’t run for president.
Employers, landlords and admissions officers surely won’t catch-on to these linguistic cheetah-flips.
And the stupidity continues.
White muddafukar, honkey, white privilege, pig, Uncle Tom, Oreo, etc, are still acceptable terms when used to describe people who have never been incarcerated.
The clenched fist salute (Heil Hitler) and the crotch salute will soon replace the traditional salute in the services. Just kidding……..????.
Hijack the language: control the narrative and control the thought.
This is all part and parcel of the assault on the 1st Amendment.

How about we call them “unwitting cannon fodder”.
Welcome to the target rich environment.
