Conservatives Use Political Correctness Too

http://thoughtcatalog.com/andrew-syrios/2015/03/conservatives-use-political-correctness-too/

"And in turn, conservatives complain, and not without merit, at least in terms of the Left trying to silence conservative dissent. But that being said, the Right is by no means innocent on this count. One recent example was Helen Thomas, who was fired from the White House Press Corps for saying “The Jews should get the Hell out of Palestine.” Now, do I agree with that statement? No, it’s obviously a lot more complicated than that. But then again, does it matter whether I agree?"

'Anti-semitism' as Political Correctness crosses party lines very, very strongly. More strongly than just about anything. An astute observer of electoral processes is already quite aware of this reality.

Yeah, there may be a reason for that political correctness.
