I support PC and I have no problem with these remarks. There's nothing hateful about them.
This, however, is my sentiment. Besides, it's childish to dig up what someone said years ago and use it against them in the present day. People change, and everyone says stupid stuff at certain times in their life.
Ugh. PC only counts when right-wingers are involved amirite?
Correct.
But in all seriousness, it applies to both sides. I was EXTREMELY awful when I was younger, I frequently used racial slurs for the "hip" factor, I told every awful joke in the book, but I grew up. If a right winger uses racist/homophobic/sexist language, it's wrong. If a left winger does the same thing, it's just as wrong. Seth Macfarlane was completely wrong for his song about rape that he did at the Oscars, and I was furious with him afterwards. If a right winger says "hey, i'm not going to use those words because they're offensive" then power to them. I don't care what one's ideology is, I'm concerned with making sure people aren't going around spouting slurs and epithets because "muh first amendment"
