Note that they avoided using "the stupid" as an example.

This is the truth.

So just remove the articles "a, an, the" then?
Poor, mentally ill, disabled, French, college-educated. I think I can manage that.

Shut THE frick up.

I have no problem with the style element; "the" is lazy in context, but calling it "dehumanizing" is retarded, even to the retards.
AP style used to be about how to communicate information in the most succinct way, over wire and in newspapers where page space is valuable real estate. Also for consistency across its organization.
AP style isn't about that anymore, apparently.

The Fascists fought these people for us, they are International Bolshevists.

While your post was offensive, I find that I nevertheless must agree.
