Yet, from the public censure of left-wing poet Anders Carlson-Wee, you would think that the zombified corpses of Joseph McCarthy and his legion of followers have returned to roam Twitter in pantsuits and safety pins. The poet’s case is pretty straightforward. He wrote a poem told from the perspective of a homeless person.

The tidal wave of outrage that drowned Carlson-Wee rested on his use of African American Vernacular English and the word “crippled.”
