    I find people who are politically correct cry a lot and limit free speech.
    That's ignorant.

    You are free to say whatever you want. I am free to be offended by it.

    If the majority of the public is offended by it that's a reflection on YOU bud.

    I find it hilarious that the same group of people are preaching about how being un PC is wrong when they:

    hate the sight of gays kissing
    get offended at "baby killing"
    reject un PC movies with sex, violence and language over faith based shlock
    get offended when someone calls Carson or Cain "Uncle"
    get offended when a minority says "cracker"

    You can't have it both ways. Take it if you're gonna dish it out.

    I'm not offended by any of those things.

    Why would you say no? This president won't call Islamic terrorists, Islamic Terrorists like all democrats. The president says it would antagonize them would we be worried today about antagonizing Nazi's?
    Obama knows that the term "Islamic Terrorist" or "Islamic Extremist" is used primarily to manipulate people. The media uses it to create fear, and therefore readers, clicks on pages, etc. Do you ever wonder why the term "Christian extremist" is very rarely used? It's because the reader would discount it as a misrepresentation because Americans are very familiar with Christianity. Since we're not so familiar with Islam, that is what is focused on in order to perpetuate fear.
    Islam believes in Sharia Law enough said, and if their not terrorists what do you call them?

    Political Correctness was a good idea that has been co-opted by too many and used as a weapon. When a candidate for the Democratic nomination has to apologize for saying "Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter." there is a problem.

    Just because a person is PC does not make them correct.

    I'm not PC either, but I keep getting accused of being PC because I employ compassion, reason, and common sense. Go figure, lol.

    Ha. And by OP's definition I'd also be considered PC. God knows that's not true. Hahaha.

    Would Nazi's in today's world be called German Extremists in order not to offend Nazi's or German's?

    Not to offend Nazi's or German's what? You have to finish your sentence so we know how to answer. Or did you mean Nazis/Germans plural instead of possessive?

    Nazism (or National Socialism; German: Nationalsozialismus) is a set of political beliefs associated with the Nazi Party of Germany. so I doubt there would have been offense given.

    Average non-party member german might take offense knowing what was going on in the latter years of the war.

    Stop it.
    Complaining about people being overly butt hurt by stupid shit and acknowledging That we are a soft society full of people with no backbone does not make one a rascist.I think there is way to much PC out there and I'm not a bigot.
    Just sayin
