I think so...

Liberals have too thin of skin. They are always the victims... Always playing the race card. Look at Roland Burris!!! No one could touch him because he was a little, soft spoken black man who perpetually lost elections in Illinois. What if a guy who looked like Mitt Romney was Blagjevich's Senate appointee??? He would have been chopped and screwed...

Anyone who would have staunchly opposed this 'tool' of an appointee would have been politically lynched. Especially if the person was a white male!

Look at Sarah Palin, Republicans are always claiming she's a victim of sexism..

I'd have to say dementia is a bigger problem than the skin condition.

Those who can only peep a single word like Mr. Mexican, rkb0305 and justfar are probably either thin skinned, over sensitive 'individuals' or they support thin skinned policies, legislation, and PC social etiquette.

I agree with you. As I read the liberal posters not denying it but instead name calling it is easy to see that they are proving your point.

I respect the fact that most libs have a hard time with self examination and looking in the mirror and knowing when you guys are vain and petty, but try it. It may end up making you less bitter and more productive

Actually, I'd say there's bitterness on both sides of the fence. And as far as thinking liberals are thin-skinned, it's more like we try to be better people & not deliberately offend others. Not sure why so many of you have a problem w/trying to think of others & remembering if the shoe were on the other foot. It also goes along w/that whole "do unto others" mentality.

Let me re-phrase it for you... why are liberals "so easily offended"? They have invented new PC language/vocabulary, quota legislation, affirmative action. Hell, you can't get many government or Public Relations jobs unless you are a woman or a minority...

So it seems to me that what you're really pissed about is maybe you tried to apply for a job & were turned down because you weren't qualified? Can you trace political correctness to liberals? And tell me why it's such an offensive thing to not be a complete neanderthal & have total lack of class when talking about certain groups of people? I'm guessing that maybe you are an individual who has absolutely no concern for others & probably little social skills, I can't see any reason why it would be such a hardship to have some tact.
