If you don't go along with PC, or you voice an opinion that isn't PC approved - you are ostracized, penalized, attacked, and it can be so vicious as to affect your livelihood. It's only going to get worse as the years tick by.
Conform or be cast out... Jews were cast out - today, conservatives are the targetted enemy of the PC police. I am not a conservative BTW, I am a libertarian... live and let live - in that regard, I am in the tiniest of minorities.

I understand Amerikans want to listen to that crap - I don't, so I tune out. For me, it is unlistenable... I tune into sport talk radio to listen to sports talk, not liberal proselytizing.
But it is everywhere, and you can't escape it... if you object, or find it offensive?? You are subjected to the entire battery of liberal abuse, i.e. you are a bigot, intollerant, etc. Liberals are bullies, and unfortunately they are now in power and in control all of our institutions. They are no different than previous incarnations of authoritarians.
I do agree with Dan though - this kind of topic belongs in FYI. It isn't about football, it is about a societal topic - Michael Sam is of interest to some (not me, but some) b/c he's gay... it has nothing to do with football.

I didn't start the thread, and only commented on the sad state of affairs with regard to sports talk radio - which proselytizes liberals political views. I don't want to hear that shit anymore than you want to hear what I have to say - yet I am assaulted by your leftist crap all day, every day... if I object?? well here we are... the person who objects being ostracized and attacked.
It's how you leftist bullies operate. I am the bad guy b/c what I said is not PC approved.
I'll leave you boys to it... don't get too friendly now

I think if you scratched below the surface of not trying to offend their audience, the Mike and Mike show politics (especially Golic) is far more center than left. I haven't listened in a while, but from what I remember, Golic is a classic channthemann, "why are we discussing this" kind of commentator.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Greeny said something incredibly stupid a day or two ago ago (yes, what does he say that isn't stupid these days). But he mentioned that since Shaw (?, the RB that quit USC) hired a lawyer and wasn't completely honest that something bad must have happened to injure his ankles. In Shaw's case, it very well could be that he was in the wrong. It could also mean that he is simply protecting himself since idiots like Mike Greenberg assume that if someone is accused of something they are automatically guilty... after all, why would they be accused if they WEREN'T guilty? This is such flawed logic, but unfortunately it is the thinking of the masses these days.
Another thing about radio is these guys have to talk for three or four hours a day, five days a week, forty some weeks a year.
At some point they have to just start making shit up or saying outrageous shit, just to fill air space.
I agree, they aren't all that leftist, they are opinionated on a variety of issues, which triggers emotions. Sam's triggers emotions, whether you want him to fail because you are sick of him getting special attention, or if you want him to succeed to begin an era where being gay is more mainstream, you have some interest in the story. He sells copy as they say, therefore the media blitz is on. Same went for Tebow (except I don't believe he was ever given the same fair shot Sam's will be given). Same went for the early black QB's. Warren Moon, Doug Williams and all. And when a Black QB went top 5 in the draft the blitz was really on.
Many of us (I consider myself in this camp, and sounds like chann as well) don't give a shit if a player is green, black, gay or whatever. Can he play. I'll be happy when the 2nd and 3rd gay player comes out because the hub bub will die off.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Yea, cuz us evil righties started a political thread damn us.
You can't open this can of worms and then be pissed when worms come out. MOVE THE FUCKING THREAD, DELETE THE FUCKING THREAD OR SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!'
This is exactly what Wist is talking about. Its ok to open the topic, but heaven forbid a certain veiwpoint is expressed. We must silence the dissenter. You people are so fucking panty waste pussified that I can't actually handle it here anymore. I'm out of here. I'll join Rand and the other silenced masses.
I can't believe everyone is so fucking stupid to not realize that nearly every post in this thread is just like Wist's, but he is the only one you wish to silence....and for the record I disagree with wist quite a bit, and even in this instance, but I'm not so small minded and petty as to want to silence him. You dumb fuckers are proving his point for him.
