Much of what gets labeled as "political correctness" and "first amendment attacks" is little more than a person or group of people hoping or asking that people can talk and converse without every third word out of their mouth being some kind of potentially loaded word that can be an attack on a group of people or can cause harm to other people. Very few of these things are actually people codifying those requests into law with negative consequences from the government for doing so. Almost none, actually. So yea, being "politically correct" is an ugly attribute to many people, but if being "politically correct" means that I don't lob harmful verbal firebombs at people all the time with the intent of hurting them, and wish that other people would consider doing the same a bit more often, then yea, sign me up for being politically correct. Such a horrible thing that is, being empathic and trying not to hurt other people and make them feel like $hit all the time.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize that this thread was not about radio hosts being censored by the government.

I have no problem with people who call a womens basketball team nappy headed ho's being fired from his or her EMPLOYER for saying those words.
I do have a problem with a city counsel wasting taxpayers time and money with a resolution that goes against the consitution anyway. shock jock radio hosts should really concern themselves with political correctness. nobody cares to be entertained anyway.

If you think a city council passing something that really boils down to, "we'd like it if you would be nicer," with absolutely zero teeth or consequences to it is government censorship, then we have a really fundamental disagreement about exactly what censorship is. I'm really glad the real meaning of government censorship is not your definition of it, because we'd live in an awfully scary place if that were the case. Enjoy the afternoon!
