What I want to know is when did FReepers become champions of political correctness. I believe in free speech and, yes, that includes offensive speech. I also think our celebrity besotted culture needs to stop looking at "stars" as role models. They are human beings with feet of clay, just like the rest of us.
The actual champions of political correctness are busy marching in the streets of Berkeley and Madison and denouncing Israel and Jews, and they sure ain't FReepers.

Then you believe in the right of FReepers to verbally tear Mel Gibson a new one over what he said.
What is politically correct about denouncing bigotry?
I never see these kinds of posts when we come down on drunken Kennedys or stars who advocate the gay agenda. But for some reason, when racism, bigotry, anti-Semitism are the issue, the critics are being "PC."
Labelling anything one doesn't like to see "PC" is a common move but it is merely a distraction. Am I being PC for denoucning anti-semitism? Fine, I'll take the label, considering the motives of those who are labelling me.
so, "Jew hating" is ok and should get the stamp of approval?
