The thing is that both overly PC liberals and social conservatives should share the blame. Bucs90 made a thread recently about tonight's episode of South Park that attacks liberals. Yet South Park's biggest proponents have been groups like the Catholic League and the Family Research Council. I can't think of a single liberal group that has ever attacked them. Then we have whiny conservatives complaining that Starbucks doesn't have snowflakes on their cups. It's getting ******* ridiculous on both sides. The only difference is what bullshit issue enrages them.
The difference is that nowadays its only the progressive whiners getting people fired, or getting peoples lives ruined.
The social conservatives had their time in the 70's and 80's, and they were rightly laughed at. For some reason progressives of the same fascist ilk are not getting enough push back.
The Catholic League had Opie and Anthony fired. They have attempted the same with South Park, yet failed. Don't mistake their success rates with their attempts. Social conservatives have been less successful in recent years, but not for lack of trying.
And they came right back on just a short time later. Anthony got canned for a racist rant, have you seen him back lately? Progressives are the ones getting people ruined right now.
I wouldn't call two years without work a "short time". Bill Donahue may have become a friend of the show later on, but he was instrumental in them going two years without being able to sign with another radio station.
I suspect Anthony would have been brought back, but publicly known rifts in his and Opie's relationship made that impossible. His firing was more a result of a single Washington Post article, and SiriusXM's kneejerk reaction to it.
