Maher ‘I Think We Underestimate How Much America Has Been Choking on Political Correctness for 25 Yr
Breitbart ^ | 09-12-19 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 09/12/2019 10:39:38 AM PDT by Monrose72

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joes,” co-host Joe Scarborough and HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher decried political correctness, which they both said was having a detrimental impact on the Democratic Party. According to Maher, abiding by the rules of political correctness is harmful to Democratic candidates. “[T]hey project kind of weakness, and I think it is internal. I mean you see them already apologizing too much for things that really don’t merit an apology. Obviously, if you do something terrible you should apologize for it. But we’ve seen it up and down the ranks, that people who have had to start their campaigns — and it is not a good way. You keep saying, ‘You’re sorry,’ you look like a sorry candidate.

Just now they are noticing? People have been financially ruined, lost jobs and had careers and reputations destroyed for far less than the mere half decade or so of so-called “McCarthyism”. And Joe McCarthy was actually right most of the time.

“And Joe McCarthy was actually right most of the time.”

IIRC, after the Soviet Union died in 1991, material from their archives from that period basically vindicated what McCarthy and Richard Nixon and others had said and done regarding Communist witch-hunts. I can also remember that both JFK and his father thought very highly of Senator McCarthy as well.

PC has run its course and is now a disavantage. At the perversity diversity is fracturing... living by the rules they created hurts.

Even without saying sorry, they all look like sorry candidates. So saying sorry hasn’t changed a darn thing. 8>)

Just like Michael Moore...the Uber-Left part of the Media Machine has realized they messed up big time.
Their nutty message is being rejected by the Midwest and South.

They are now vulnerable and if the GOP-e can just stop hiding and listing to AFP-Rove Co, we could crush them in the General.

Friends I know who really didn’t like Trump in 2016 are praying now that he destroys the Loonie Left.

I think I read somewhere that Senator McCarthy at one time dated Eunice Mary Kennedy - Joe’s remaining non-lobotomized daughter.

The endgame of political correctness is lying at the bottom of a mass grave covered in lime.

Oh yeah Bill - you’ve been leading the charge for PC for those 25 years but now that you’re the target suddenly it’s too far?

Welcome to the party pal - you made it.

“You look like a sorry candidate”. Sorry Bill but I must inform you that they are all sorry candidates.

AND YOU’RE A BIG PART OF THE REASON WHY

The Soviet’s named their paper Pravda/The Truth

Maher named his show Politically Incorrect...

If more people were brainwashed into accepting PC so it was no longer detrimental to the Democratic Party, he would be fine with it.

Democrats are meanies and Bill doesn’t want the public to know what the Caliban is really all about until after election day.

These same Leftists unwittingly spawned the punk backlash of 1972-75.

Political correctness is nothing new and neither are their political positions. Same agenda since Communists infiltrated the DNC
