Picking up on comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s concern “there’s a creepy PC thing out there” on college campuses in which comedians are condemned for jokes which convey stereotypes, Bernard Goldberg called out Seinfeld for failing to recognize liberals are behind the “authoritarian” speech code.
On Thursday’s O’Reilly Factor, Goldberg responded: “I say, really, Jerry? Really? You just discovered that the politically correct culture, to use your word, is ‘creepy’? Welcome to our world. Conservatives have been called sexist and racist forever simply because liberals don’t agree with us.”
Goldberg, the former long-term CBS News correspondent, then challenged Seinfeld: “Why don’t you say that liberals created that ‘creepy’ culture, that too many liberals have become authoritarian and too many liberals have forgotten how to be liberal? Let’s see if your liberal friends love you after you say something like that.”
Goldberg, on the June 11 O’Reilly Factor:
I say, really, Jerry? Really? You just discovered that the politically correct culture, to use your word, is creepy? Welcome to our world. Conservatives have been called sexist and racist forever simply because liberals don’t agree with us. And it isn’t just the sanctimonious liberal twits on college campuses that Jerry was talking about, it’s also the sanctimonious liberal twits in Hollywood who think conservatives are bigots.
So here’s what I would suggest. If, Jerry, if you’re watching, here’s what I suggest. The next time you go on some radio or TV show to bemoan the politically correct creepy culture, why don’t you say that liberals created that creepy culture, that too many liberals have become authoritarian and too many liberals have forgotten how to be liberal? Let’s see if your liberal friends love you after you say something like that.
