Let's give Kathleen Parker credit for not badgering rock star Gene Simmons with, "Yeah, but aren't I as awesome and chic and cute as Sarah Palin is stupid?" Such restraint on the part of someone so "unqualified" to co-host a television show next to a guy smarter than she is, who runs circles around her, is admirable. Parker's sucking up to the left under the mistaken belief they wouldn't smell weakness and abuse it for every partisan advantage is a "naive" mistake Sarah Palin never made - you know, the Sarah Palin with the successful TV show and bright future

Gene Simmons is an Israeli and an idiot who voted for Obama so he is a lib.
“He was born in Haifa Israel. When he came to America, his name was changed from Chaim Witz to Gene Klein. He later decided to use “Gene Simmons.””
This has nothing to do with PC. It has to do with a self-indulgent idiot who uses an unnecessary and self-conscious word ("blacks" is shorter and easier to type) in the hope that someone will notice it, call him on it and give him an opportunity to make his stand.
"White people" is normal speech...not politically correct speech. "Black people" is normal speech...not politically correct speech.
Jerks like you load the ammo for the enemies of conservatism.
Political correctness is an evil tool. It has been used throughout history to oppress groups of people and suppress ideas and honest dialogue. Those that are adept at using this tool hide behind it in order to pervert truth.
you’ve been brainwashed..... words are truth. when they are preverted, they are no longer speaking truth.
GET OVER IT, I NO LONGER WILL BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!
You're an idiot.
personal attacks are used by those who can’t think... hmmmm idiots?
This from a guy who uses the term "negroes" when referring to black people on a conservative board. LOL.
Not only are you an idiot, you're a jerk. Kiss off.
Thanks for proving it Gene. Your being a successful Businessman made me think you were smarter than to vote for Nobama, but sadly I was wrong. Too much feel good Hollywood Liberalism and not enough Common Sense. So sad.

I wonder how many millions of people watched Gene say this and wish they could take their votes back too.
Saw Ted recently. Too much politics in the show. It ended up taking away of bunch of time from the songs I wanted to hear. It was over the top.
It’s not as if Obama’s opponent was anything to write home about.
That was a pretty emotional episode, huh?
Negro to black people what caucasian is to white and I fail to see why either one would be considered derogatory.
Wait....his usage of ONE word makes him an idiot and a jerk? I have used that word before. Is it really insulting? Guess that’s good to know then...
If we’d had a better candidate than McCain, maybe, just maybe, the election would’ve turned out differently. Gotta love the GOP for picking him. They had another Bob Dole moment.
What you fail to see isn't germane here.
Here's how to find out:
1) Invite five of your closest black friends to lunch.
2) During lunch, tell them you'd like to steer the topic of conversation toward politics, then ask them "Why do Negroes vote overwhelmingly Democratic in every election?"
3) During the ensuing discussion, whenever you want to make a point about black people specifically or generally, use the term "Negro" or "Negroes" when referring to the person or persons.
4) Get back to me and tell me how it went.
Okay gotcha. I thought it was just outdated but ethnically correct terminology.
I watched his show last night, didn’t know his mother was sent to a concentration camp as a teen...he visited Anne Franks home and cried, it wasn’t faked. His mother won’t talk about what happened to her in the camps...she was the same age as anne Frank when she was sent.....
Politically correct speech came into being in the late sixties. When I was in school, negro or colored was not an insult...do you know what NAACP stands for?. You are mouthing politically correct talk. Black is a color not a race. What do you call someone that is not black, but consider themselves that.....Negroid race comes in all colors....just as whites come in all colors, I cannot spell caucasion right...
