Part of what I find so irritating about that ilk is all the unsupported observations made with that shock-jock air of "I'm just saying what everyone's already thinking, and we [frightened, intolerant white males?] all know these things, but I'm one of the few with the courage to speak the truth in the face of political correctness and the liberal media." His notorious views about black people in Louisiana were prefaced with "What you won’t hear, except from me, is that..."
One of his posts from yesterday, for example, is about how now that gay marriage has gained acceptance legalized polygamy is probably the next thing, and it will be introduced in America by Arab Muslims and African immigrants, or maybe that hugely influential community of Tibetan refugees in the US.
He then makes a sarcastic comment about Kate Brown, my state's incoming governor who is a married bisexual: "this poor bisexual woman... who is discriminated against by law from gay-marrying a woman, just because she’s already married to a man." Never mind that Brown never said anything about wanting to marry a woman in addition to her current spouse! So apparently even bisexuals who are in traditional marriages raise his hackles? It's really just a transparent homophobic swipe at a bisexual Democrat because she just made history and it actually has nothing to do with the topic of gay marriage or polygamy.
He just makes endless generalization and observations with no real basis in reality, and anyone who objects is clearly trying to impose some totalitarian regime of political correctness. To use another example from the day before yesterday, he spouts a brilliant insight that he noticed while watching a Chris Rock movie, that "black people in America really have a blast being black and they don’t seem very interested in much else these days." Hey, he's just
noticing things, all the time, usually things critical of minority groups, and anyone who has any problem with what he says is obviously a symptom of the out-of-control PC thought police. "Political correctness is a war on noticing"—that was a quote of his that Patton Oswalt really loved. Yeah sure, a "war." It seems like a double-edged sword of knee-jerk responses: this constant howling about "political correctness" can be its own form of political correctness that shuts out particular kinds of viewpoints (and entire debates about discrimination) without really addressing them, instead treating them like hysterical "attacks."
Didn't mean to rant, but it is semi on topic, as one of this guy's many hats is "movie critic."
