maybe even more so.

C'mon Patrick.... that's a bit of a trolling shot.
Opinions vary, but I think both "sides" use PC to their advantage any and every time it favors them!
They're always cheap shots, always uncalled for, always blown out of proportion, and it SEVERELY stifles honest debate!!

I think it's fair to say that the right wing may have even more forbidden opinions than the left wing. Examples:

"If we really want people to keep more of what they earn, we should tax unproductive rent-seeking rather than actual productive work."

"But we really do need some kind of universal health insurance."

"Obama actually did kill Osama where Bush failed, and Obama didn't start any wars."

Those opinions are simply are not acceptable to the right wing, ever.

(OK, that last one is fact rather than opinion.)

"Obama actually did kill Osama where Bush failed, and Obama didn't start any wars."

Those opinions are simply are not acceptable to the right wing, ever.

(OK, that last one is fact rather than opinion.)

LOL! so typical of you...

You mean to say when Obama came to office, prior 'seek and destroy' order by Bush were canceled and all prior leads were ignored. And going forward Obama's new orders to 'seek and destroy' were carried out... start from scratch.

Or was it the same orders 'seek and destroy' were carried out ... it was the CIA and security forces that found and killed OBL who had standing orders since 2001.

It was all a matter of time...

Shows how political correctness stifles debate -- and how the right wing does it too, maybe even more so.

The right wing stifles honest debate by making up bullshit, repeating lies as facts, and refusing to accept any real fact no matter how absolutely certain it is. In other words, the right does not debate but simply contradicts.

The left, however, is definitely full of politically correct whores. And that's a different set of problems. Juan Williams should never had been fired for honestly expressing a personal concern regardless of whether or not that concern was justified. Political correctness is vile and despicable.

It has less to do with "Political Correctness" in the sense people thinks it does. And more to do with Political Conditioning, for the sake of winning the argument. If you're not allowed to voice your opinion, then there's only one view.

When Political Correctness fails, to silence opposition, then it's Racism, when that fails then it's Class warfare and the damn 1%'ers, when that fails then it's far right wing religious people's fault. Even though attendance in any church denomination has NEVER been lower, EVER!
When that fails it's assault people's health and call them stupid.
You know for the life of me, I can't figure out why the Left hates FOX so bad. At least FOX likes people.

The extreme left is filled with holier than thou whackadoodles. They try to legislate -or rather have successfully legislated- human behaviour. In the entire history of the world, there has never been so much government control over individual families, their livelihoods, how much they are supposed to spend and even how much time they get to spend with their own kids. How they are supposed to raise their kids is now determined by the government -in case one party disagrees.

The right wing on the other hand tries to legislate things like abortion, gays and birth control-they seem to succeed less and less and act like knuckle dragging neandrathals-at least the likes of Akin, Limbaugh and Murdoch. They fail over and over again and in turn make the left even more powerful in their quest to create this utopian society-where no one should fail and all should be equal-nothwithstanding that communism has been a spectacular failure.

That sums it up nicely. Well said.

Yeah but the difference in the two is, in the first description, these are actual politicians effecting real peoples lives.
Where as the second group you're complaining about are Entertainers, and have no baring on peoples lives what so ever.

Obama is still president when I change the channel or turn off the TV.

Yea, the group who hates government, protests loudly and endlessly that government picks winners and losers, and that same government needs to get out of everybody's lives, they want to use the very same government and it's powers to go between women's legs and pry into every bedroom,s solely because the right hates cretain groups of people.
Irony at it's best.

You just blew a massive hole in (your)the right wing mantra that this is somehow a christian nation, and that you need to take it back or something. You know the dogma, whereas sinning is resposible for hurricanes and tornadoes or whatever.

The only two people that have any idea what in the hell you're talking about is Glen Beck and you.
While Glen Beck is an entertainer, where as you OTH, I have no idea why your Telly remote has FOX and Trinity Network on the favorites line up.

I'm pretty sure it has been anyone but conservatives that put legalized dope or male/male coupling on a ballot in California. So, one can't accuse the mythical right (which is actually just the "normal") of taking any action other than reacting. Kinda like Isreal has to react to the actions of the murdering thug arabs. Interesting how the left thinks Isreal should not defend itself, much like they hate to see Christians defend their convictions.

Now, it is true that California conservatives did put Prop 187 on the ballot, and it passed, and an activist liberal leftist judge halted the vote of the people. I wonder, how the leftists in Cal would react if one of their pet props passed at the ballot box but was then halted by a court ... hmmm ... funny, that just aint happened. The left relys on court, not the right. The right gets beat-up in court due to the liberal bias and constitution revesionists that populate the court system.

As for Political Correctness, the leftists can spew hate about Palin in the most crude of ways and get cheers and a raise, Imus can say nappy and almost get fired, Jimmy the Greek did get fired for saying an absolute fact. I can't find where a leftist was let go for spewing more leftist hate. Anywhere in America. THe left has no standards of behavior, other than hate Christians, hate straight white males, hate conservative values, hate right, hate good, hate honest, hate morality, hate Isreal, hate God ,... the left is the couldron of hate. Up is down in this world infected with liberalism and drug abuse.

This is exactly why you should have protested when Bush and his cronies stole the election in 2000. Al Gore was elected by any proper counting of electoral votes. Had he become president as the votes said, then Obama would have never even been picked by Harry Reid to run for president.

See, you could have had an Obama-free America. All you had to do was refrain from releasing the Bush/Cheney evil administration on the world.

Yes, they have discovered you can do a lot with a little hate.

Nope! that's not how it went down at all. That was AFTER the Nader nation told the Left to go get bent for blaming us for not voting for Al give me a fucking break Gore. They spent a whole week blaming us, like we would have gotten off the couch if Nader hadn't run in the election.
After that went no where they then started blaming the GOP for winning.

NOW the fundamental difference between 2000 and 2012, the Republicans aren't calling for a recount, recall or any other Liberal concoction to silent the voice of those spoken. We're more dissapointed in the gullible poor and Hispanics for believing that Obama is going to do anything for them. They should have asked the youth.

Even with the Liberal Victory nothing in Washington can get done with out John Boehner's permission. So tell me, who won?

Gotta go Papa Boehner is calling.
" Hey John can we have higher taxes on the top 1%?"
"FUCK NO!"
Well can't blame a guy for asking...
