Quote:I find it just a touch hilarious and sad when the big bad tough guy anti PC movement shows itself to be just as thin skinned and weak to criticism as it's leader. Something something safe space was it?

 


Replying to boudreaumw (can't fix the quote): 

 

Not sure that's even that's happening here. It wasn't the time or place for political discourse. Being offended doesn't mean you're thin-skinned. How you handle it does, however.


 

Quote:They get upset when people boycott Chick Fil-a for their stance on gay marriage, but then when Starbucks puts out Red Cups without the word "Christmas" on it, they act like someone's declared war on them. 

What they hate isn't PC culture.  What they hate is when people call them out on what they do.  They want to be free of criticism.

 

There are people on both sides that get entirely to invested in what others believe. There are too many people that get offended. Implying that it isn't far more prevalent from Democrats / liberals doesn't make your point. 

 

Quote:Political rant? I didn't see it that way.


It was a group who individuals who are nervous about this administration. 

 

Based on things that were said that were untrue or exaggerated from sources that politicize everything. It was absolutely political. 

 

Quote:You want to silence your critics.  Anyone who might dare speak out against the Vice President, shouldn't be allowed to say what they want to say.  (Unless it happens to be about Obama/Biden, of course.  I still remember when the Dixie Chicks were treated like traitors for saying they were ashamed that Bush was the president, but those same people applauded Ted Nugent for his comments criticizing Obama).  The hypocrisy is hilarious.  It's politically correctness to expect people not to speak out.  


Mall Santa gets fired for telling little girl, unprovoked, that Hillary is on the naughty list?  TOTALLY FINE by you guys.  He shouldn't have been fired!  He has free speech.  (I guess if the little girl had been VP, it would have been expected that Santa not tell her unprovoked who's on the naughty list)  

 

Cast of Hamilton calls out the VP?  ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!  NOT THEIR PLACE!  What right do they have (other than, you know, the first amendment) to call out the VP at a musical he paid to come and see?!  


I guess you conservatives need your safe spaces.  

 

No way. The actors / actresses used their platform to lecture him. They didn't want conversation or debate. They didn't want understanding. They wanted to say how they felt and took advantage of the situation whereby Pence wasn't prepared to or capable of defending his stance or arguing against their's. 

 

While you and others seemingly love to use hyperbole, I didn't get the impression that people are behaving as you describe them. Telling people that they shouldn't say something isn't the same as saying that they can't say something. Most reasonable people know they have the right, and if you were honest, you'd know most people fall into that group.

 

Trump should've just ignored it. The irony here, however, is that people like you are spending too much time criticizing a few conservatives for doing the exact same thing the Hamilton cast did.
