Adam Carolla on Political Correctness and Radical Islam

[Gollsodia]

Oop, twelve o' clock; time to drink.

[frankelee]

Terrorism used to just be a tactic, if you were actively using it you could be called a terrorist. Now it's a loaded term that has some kind of undefinable meaning that applies if you kill people, but you didn't really have any demands, but you claimed to have motivation, but you didn't give anybody any amount of time to do what you wanted, but clearly the guy who did it was out of his mind, so now it means nothing. Who cares.

[pacemaker2point0]

"welovesarahpalin" -> instadislike

[mjn76]

"the Left is much more likely to criticize Christians (which I consider a good thing)"

The values we take for granted, indeed the life we live in the West, is largely because of the Christianity.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

This is misstitled. it's not a political correctness argument.

[IWantDaveKast]

ive been listening to Adam Carolla for about 5 years. i can think of only three times ive disagreed with him. Adam has the best views on everything. Awesome show!

[cpmkw]

"Political Correctness" is really a contrived thing. It isn't anything real you can even pin down. It's completely dependent on whose standard you're using to define what you think is considered "correct". Political correctness to a redneck might be speaking no ill of Jesus or the military. Political correctness to a steel mill worker might mean speaking no ill of the union, etc. etc.  Everybody has their sacred cows. "Political Correctness" is just a term crybabies use to gain sympathy.

[cpmkw]

"Adam Carolla, a Southern California based comedian & actor, is in no way any kind of "right wing nut"." Ha! Look at the disclaimer they're intent to put right up at the very beginning. Total nonsense: Adam Carolla is *ENTIRELY* a kind of "right wing nut". Google things he's said in terms of political or tangential issues. Name *ONE* time he's taken a left-leaning position. I used to think this guy was funny before I heard some of this vile stuff, but he's really off the deep end.

[makavelli757]

@cpmkw hes definitely left wing in the social aspect. huge supporter of legalizing marijuana.

[cpmkw]

@makavelli757 This isn't left wing (and neither is he): Libertarians/Ayn Rander's have always believed in these things. Secondly most serious people regardless of political leanings are for legalization: The drug war is not really very defensible anymore.

[makavelli757]

@cpmkw so what exactly is it that he says that you dont agree with?

[cpmkw]

@makavelli757 "Can we just kill this guy?" Really? The entire thing. The absurd attitude. They depravity. The affectation. The irresponsibility. Causal glorification of *killing people*? Hello? The entire bit is stupid, pandering, and regressive. It's unreal:  It's an act of profiting off of being cruel, obnoxious and lame. What about it, exactly, do you *agree* with?

[FreedomLover1973]

@cpmkw EVERYTHING!!! You SOCIALIST MOTHERFUCKER!

[cpmkw]

@makavelli757 Ha, typo: "casual", not "causal".

[FreedomLover1973]

@cpmkw By telling the truth, he's off the deep end? No. YOU are the one that's off the DEEP END, you SOCIALIST BITCH!

[cpmkw]

@FreedomLover1973 Ha! It took you 2 posts to say that? I love it. So what grade are you in, kiddo? Here's some advice for you: Might want to stick to subject and words you actually understand, so as to avoid making yourself look foolish. Feeling sympathetic embarrassment.

[FreedomLover1973]

@cpmkw Don't feel "embarrased for me. And don't try to talk down to me either, you piece of shit left wing Socialist. I've actually "STUDIED" Socialism, and it's ramifications for years, and I'll make you look like an even bigger idiot than you are on here. Anything I say, I'll back up with something you fucks seem to know little about: FACTS.

[cpmkw]

@FreedomLover1973 "Don't talk down to me, Piece-of-Shit"? Ha! What more needs to be said? Again, just stop. This is moronic. I don't know what you imagine you're accomplishing--but trust me, it's not working out for you as you imagine or intend. You're filled with a combination of frustration and ignorance that makes you a real peach. Like this video you, have no idea what you're talking about, or whom you're speaking to. It's painful. I'm not addressing you again. Be happy. :)

[Petruccibear]

@FreedomLover1973

If you really wanted to blow our minds you could try acting like an adult and not a reactionary child. SOMEONE GET THIS MAN AN ADULT!

[VisionXray23]

It's called draw Mohammad day.

[SpockCanYouSaveme]

because prisons get money each day they hold a prisoner. our tax money.

[blurglide]

Exactly. This is what "Draw Muhammad Day" is all about. It happens every year now, in the spring. Please chip in.

[Tannz0rz]

This guy is a boss.

[WHTBOII]

was draw muhammed day his idea =O

[gingerkidwithglasses]

@HarryPothead6009 Well, fuck Islam but if you've ever read Shakespeare everyone before a certain time was a peadophile; Juliet was 13 and was suited to be married.

[HandyMan101]

@gingerkidwithglasses Exactly right. Sexuality in terms of strict age restrictions is only a recent thing.

[HARLEYSSUCK]

Everything he said was 100% accurate. This man should be president.

[towlebucket]

@HarryPothead6009....thats the beauty of being American, you can say whatever you want.

That being said, fuck God and Jesus, fuck Mohammed and Islam, fuck Obama and his ape wife, fuck Catholicism and Christianity too. Fuck inbred rednecks and niggers and spics, fuck kikes and camal humpers and everybody. We ALL suck, some of us just suck A LOT more than others, simple as that.

This is why I think Adam is truly a genius.......he speaks the truth with NO liberal/hippy/douche bag bullshit.

[whoahesgood]

@towlebucket motherfucking word.

[drstrangelove09]

The Fort Hood shooter was obviously motivated by his religion and was a terrorist. The truth is the truth. The left (which I consider myself one of) cannot see it because of all this Political Correctness and "Religious Correctness".

[mjn76]

@drstrangelove09 It is fascinating that the left mocks and marginalizes Christianity and Catholicism regularly, but simply referring to some Muslims as terrorists makes those same liberals very uncomfortable.

[drstrangelove09]

@mjn76 Yes, the Left is much more likely to criticize Christians (which I consider a good thing), but they still seem to avoid certain types of obvious criticisms. They might point out that Christians are wrong in their anti-gay rantings but they don't really point out that it's based on nonsense from the Bible. Just saw an article by NPR about a "miracle" "brought" about by prayer where they made no effort to point out it was preposterous.

[edmo20]

@HarryPothead6009 I go further to say fuck all religions... not just islam...

[zaodizao]

@edmo20

Islam is particularly severely retarded as a cult, stoning women marrying under aged girls to old discussing pedophile , actually Islam has a gold medal in MOFO worldwide

[thegreatbungholio21]

@edmo20 Make believe fairy tales.....

[3434arc1]

@edmo20 I would definitely not. I would focus on the one religion in the world that has a substantial number of adherents that are determined to destroy your individual liberty and freedom and the republic in which they exist, NOT the Judeo/Christian values on which that republic was founded.

[mjn76]

@edmo20 Except it's historical fact that Western Civilization is profoundly indebted to Christianity and (later) the Catholic Church.

[bingosocks]

What a moron Adam Corolla is.

If an attack on a military installation is terrorism, then what does that make the USA army, not to mention the number of armies it and the CIA has trained.

[jf2799]

@bingosocks it depends on what the army is doing. killing other terrorists? that makes them good.. Killing citizens? that makes them terrorists...

[bingosocks]

@jf2799 What if they are killing other soldiers, which is what this guy did?

[Cajaquarius]

@bingosocks The problem is that it is a violation of the International Rules of Engagement to disguise your soldiers as enemy soldier or as civilians if they are performing operations as soldiers. The US has helped other nations violate this rule, true, but that is what this guy was not a legal battle but an act of espionage. In fact, if they removed the label "terrorism" and replaced it with "espionage" the US would probably have an easier time with punishment (I could be wrong but last I

[Cajaquarius]

@bingosocks (cont) I checked, the crime of Espionage allows for execution of the offender without trial by the victimized country immediately upon the spy being discovered without violating international law or Geneva Convention). That said, if the US did handle things this way I imagine the UN would quickly amend that law.

[BigMikeMcBastard]

@jf2799 It actually doesn't matter. Terrorism is a threat or act of violence to achieve political ends. The US conducts actual acts of terrorism all around the world, and it supports regimes like those in Yemen, Egypt, and elsewhere which use terrorism against their own citizens. The US and the West in general are immense hypocrites and use "the war on terror" as a justification to do their own terrorism stuff ever more aggressively.

Doesn't excuse this army psychologist guy, but still.

[510shredder]

@BigMikeMcBastard ok Mr. Zinn...

[zaodizao]

@bingosocks

You should be deported of the US and live life in a Muslim country for sure THEN you will be able to see the difference, or simply try to remove your head from your ass , that could work too

[bingosocks]

@zaodizao Thankfully I'm not American, I just tend to know a more about American history than many Americans. Look up how many countries America has attacked or had CIA operations in. Maybe it's American policy that is far more radical and violent.

[zaodizao]

@bingosocks

THANKFULLY????? You just SO wish you had the chance to be a US citizen , for the anti American propaganda

there are many other pages ....

[bingosocks]

@zaodizao Yes, I'm glad I am not American and I have no interest in being American. There are many great Americans but Adam Corolla offers very little to suggest he is one. There is a huge world out there and a long history that many Americans struggle to comprehend. It brings to mind this quote ' War is God's way of teaching Americans geography'. America is good at war, but less good at geography.

[bingosocks]

@zaodizao Which Muslim country, they range from Albania in Europe all the way to Malaysia in Asia.

[Dpesh7]

most of my family is muslim, im an atheist and it feels great.

[CynfulllySweet]

@welovesarahpalin I didn't know this until recently but Adam Carolla is a right wing nut and I personally am happy he is; he understands politics : ) 

[greenfalafel]

We've all become "M-whipped". LOL - so true and so sad.

[pretorious700]

Americans are so clueless about how Muslims think. They try desperately to apply western liberal "logic" to Muslims. Here's the main point-Muslims don't see themselves as "terrorists", they think they are doing their duty to kill infidels and lash out in every way at any other religion or mindset they see as counter to their own. Even "moderate" muslims don't see crazy bastards with bombs as "terrorists". Their religion REQUIRES THAT THEY CONDONE SUCH ACTIONS.

[CorrosionX3]

@pretorious700 People see the rage of muslims and automatically think "Wow we really must have pissed them off" but no... they were always that way.

[IBeatUpThugs]

@pretorious700 It's white liberals they think underneath all the terrorism and violence and hate Muslims are secretly all middle class white Americans like themselves. They think that about everyone.They don't understand the concept of someone being raised half way around the world with totally different values and prejudices taught to them from birth, which is the ONLY way of thinking they know.

[allrightbrain]

I think they wait so long because they want to make sure he's guilty,there might still be evidence that hasen't been found.You don't want to kill a guy and later find out he was innocent becuse of unexpected evidence.

[jle201]

9:47-10:00 ftw

[Assaultpredator]

@HarryPothead6009

Any group or institution that was initially spread through violence and eventually preaches peace is inherently hypocritical.

[8484terry]

I gotta say, I think Adam is the funniest guy ever , unreal haha

[xrty777]

timothy mcveigh was an insane piece of traitorous murdering terrorist shit. he murdered innocents on mass. a patriot isn't the one who takes a bomb and blows apart women and children in his country because he's spent too much time listening to fat ass radio hosts in texas ran and rave about how evil america is.

FUCK mcveigh

may he rot in hell

[rabruin]

Because the left is seriously fucked in the head. I agree with your position COMPLETELY. Now that said…. can we once and for all stop demonizing McVeigh. McVeigh was wrong and probably deservedd to be killed for what he did, but McVeigh was a patriot.

[bluknight99]

@rabruin

"Patriot"? Really? A patriot doesn't intentionally blow up a building with innocent civilians (men, women AND children). McVeigh was just as much a piece of shit terrorist as the 11 bastards on 9/11. He was a warped, cowardly piece of filth who killed babies for NO REASON.

And YOU are an idiot.

PATRIOT?!?! Tool.

[rabruin]

@bluknight99 He was a patriot, and saying theres no difference between him and Islam is bizarre to me. I do not condone what he did. I understand why he did it. Innocent people died and thats unfortunate. I wish I could have known McVeigh, I would have explained his plan is all wrong.

[mookixox]

@bluknight99 You're right about McVeigh not being a patriot but you should also look into his connection with CIA programs, the CIA likes to take genius type individuals and mk ultra program them to commit attrocities *cough* Unibomber *cough* Oswald etc...

[atikker]

@mookixox It really is sad to see how many terrorists have CIA training... especially overseas. The CIA trained a lot of torturers during the Iran Revolution and the Iraq/Iran war... it's so terrible.

[kammererbr]

@atikker How do you know anything about this? Let me guess. The internet told you.

[atikker]

@kammererbr Oh, how cute. You think that everyone who doesn't agree with you is a moron. How adorably moronic! Why don't you look up SAVAK (in the Encyclopedia Brittanica since you don't trust the internet), tell me which agencies trained and founded it, and then come back and apologize. Also look up "extraordinary rendition" and lemme know what you think. Also brush up a little on the Iranian Revolution.

[kammererbr]

@mookixox *cough* internet moron *cough*

[genxtargetmarket]

Two problems:

1) He assumes that execution is the right thing for a state to do to its citizens

2) Many, many, many people have been sentenced to death in the US and have been found innocent after their executions.

[poolboyinla]

@genxtargetmarket It is the right thing to do. Do you really think they are going to find this guy innocent?

[tombor6]

@genxtargetmarket The whole world works on statistics... Every aspect of every decision you make is based on simple statistics. Of course some innocent will die but the better will prevail. You have brought up the mistake that every liberal makes when judging how life should be best progressed... Thanks?

[genxtargetmarket]

@tombor6 It turns out that you are not correct. You are simply mentioning your current belief without any supporting evidence. I'd rather state that most of the decisions taken by people are done on an emotional basis. I know what you mean to imply by stating that all operates on stats, but there isn't the necessary evidence that supports this argument.

[Coorsfan2010]

if everyone had as much common sense as adam, the world would be a better place

[atkm2891]

today is that day! Everybody draw mohammed! FUCK ISLAM!

[loosechangeexposed]

i love adam's logic, kill the guilty the same day. we let the innocent go the same day, why do we prolong the executions of the guilty?

[seans10]

The left/mainstream media had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the conclusion that this guy was a radical jihadist muslim terrorist. On the other hand, depsite a total lack of real evidence, the narrative congealed almost instantaneously that the tea party idiots were al racists.

[sk8bow]

@seans10

what i get from tea party members is that they oversimplify the problems. they say that we are turning "socialist", "unamerican", and other overlysimplified labels of describing the problem that they see. they don't acknowledge the root causes of their problems. i understand they have conservative views but that is just another view in the whole spectrum of ideas on how we should be. even liberal thinking can not see the problems until they understand conservative view. labels kill.

[seans10]

@sk8bow I agree with you about this "real american" stuff. I've always hated that about the right. I grew up in a very left-wing household, the prime motivating force behind which was my father, a veteran of three wars.

[sk8bow]

@seans10

for zebra killings, i never heard of it and i think i'll look it up. for your comment " All we need do is simply count the bodies.", i'm not sure what you mean.

hey sean, hope you don't think i'm some cheesy wimp who can't deal with small stuff. to me, it's an interesting subject the reason why people do the things they do, including what makes me react and why does it bothers me. i just want to understand the other person's view. i don't have to agree but it would be nice to know.

[gamesmaster35]

So by denying these people their rights you might be denying those same rights to you or someone you love some day.

[gamesmaster35]

Anytime you make special exclusions or allowances you are setting what they call precedent.And any lawyer that comes after with a client of similar circumstance can point to the cases that preceded them.

[gamesmaster35]

@rubrbandball How is that correct?The reason why the left protects people is because we understand that the law is suppose to apply to everyone equally.Regardless of whether you're rich or poor & regardless of what nationality or race.

[sk8bow]

political correctness was created to keep the peace. if you really want to say whatever you want, do it in front of the person in public and see what you get.

political correctness is not meant to censor adam carolla or any other person.

for example, i, hate all those white trash assholes who think that they own the u.s. they act like they are the sole owners of this land and that i'm a burden to them.

political correctness keeps people from getting too loose in their statements.

fuck you

[seans10]

@sk8bow Have you ever used the phrase "black trash" or any analagous racial epithet?

[sk8bow]

@seans10

i might call a kkk member trash but i wouldn't call a black racist nigger. i guess i'm wrong for calling any white person trash but i just feel that it would balance the unseen pyschological power struggle we deal with. i defended people of color more, and i have more white friends than who are of color. all i care about is promoting balance and an understanding that the problems we deal with is more complicated than just blaming a race.

[seans10]

@sk8bow The point is is that you have no problem racializing an insult when your target is white and presumably poor and uneducated and who holds views with which you disagree. But you wouldn't dream of it if your target was black.

[sk8bow]

@seans10

well you can't say that blacks have any extreme image like the kkk, or white's only clubs. fact of the matter is that racist whites are organized, armed, and wealthier than blacks with extreme views and it this makes an intimidating and powerful image . do you see all black militias??????

NO. you don't. If blacks were as powerful as whites, there would not be any reason for me to favor blacks. This is a very general explanation. I respect all good people.

[mastertanker001]

@sk8bow Of course there are all black militias. Have you seen the kind of firepower the crips have been packing for the last 20 years?

[sk8bow]

@mastertanker001

you can't compare a social disease like gangs to registered militias. you can say they are the same but you would have to say that they were actual registered black militias. THERE IS NONE. YOU HAVE THE KKK AND YOU HAVE ALL WHITE MILITIAS REGISTERED MILITIAS ALL AROUND THE U.S. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY ALL BLACK MILITIAS ANYWHERE AND FOR YOU TO SAY THAT THE CRIPS ARE A LEGITIMATE MILITIA IS FALSE.

the point is, there no registered all black militia.

[seans10]

@sk8bow All we need do is simply count the bodies.

[sk8bow]

@seans10

just learned about the zebra killings. what did i get out of it? people can get some weird thoughts in their heads, and stupid and very sad events happen, but no race or religion is immune to that kind thinking. look at timothy mcveigh, look at the needless gang killings, and the manson killings. none of it is justified except in thier sick minds.

we shouldn't be scared to converse about race relations, and we shouldn't be scared of horrific events.

[sk8bow]

@seans10

look at the extreme muslim group, revolution muslims, who are mad at the creators of south park. craziness comes from all angles. if anything happened to parker or stone all hell would break loose. i'd be bummed, you'd be bummed, peace loving muslims would be bummed wondering wtf is going on, and of course, many bummed whites would counter and hurt innocent muslims. all of this bs for what? we would all be to blame for this because we can't understand each other. we never try.

[katgildner]

@sk8bow Unfortunately the world just doesn't work that way. Maybe some day, but definitely not now there is just to much ignorant hate in the world.

[sk8bow]

@katgildner

yes, maybe some day. you're right though, not now. and you're right, there is too much ignorance in the world. that's one eye opening video post you have on your channel.

[seans10]

@sk8bow You ever hear of the Zebra killings? I doubt you have, but, of course, it's easy to research and then claim to. So you're on your honor here, bub. It's a spectacular racist series of crimes; and yet it is virtually unknown and certainly not commented upon in any meaningful way in this country (or even in the SF Bay area where the crimes occurred), in the media, academia, criminal justice etc. Why do you suppose that is?

[seans10]

@sk8bow By the way, those aren't "KKK members".

[sk8bow]

@seans10

kkk member can be replaced with any racist white person. carolla doesn't need to be instigating more hate for muslims, and this doesn't mean that i am pro "terrorists"!

everything is blown out proportion, and imo, it's done intentionally because it's more about making the opposition of your views look extreme in their beliefs.

[sk8bow]

@seans10

just now, i was waiting to be served at a market nearby to get some deli food. i leave for a minute to get a soda for my food after i ordered and when i get back, some older white man somehow got the server to cater to him first. now it's not really a big deal but i see white people being served before darker people more times in my life and that's a fact.

why did the server fall into the pressure of serving the white man first? it's the constant underlying pressure to do so.

[seans10]

@sk8bow you walked away from the counter for a minute (how many?) in a deli with people waiting to be served, and you're shocked you were passed over?

[sk8bow]

@seans10 to be honest, i was upset, but i was more bummed on the server who didn't have the courage to be fair and would have anyone wait their turn in line unless they felt the person was in need. he shouldn't feel the need to appease anyone. the other person was just another person like you and i. i would also be upset if that happened to a white male in an opposite situation (reverse discrimination).

[therepublicanknight]

That makes no sense. Some people are innocent and it may take time to defend him and gather all the proper evidence. There have been to many cases of people being found innocent.

[rabruin]

@therepublicanknight nonsense



[RoadlessPath]

Not seeing reality, not seeing the truth always cause more problems -

These are wise words. I like to ad that why not adressing the guy as a muslim.

Terrorist is sow broad word.

To call him mentally disturbed is not helping us either. It might be that he and the 19 other where sane and bad.

It was an insane act, but the people doing the act might be not sow insane.

Insane of religion.

[ponder2006]

Adam IS THE KING. He should be on every Channel and radio 24/7 365 days a year

[rubrbandball]

He really is. His opinions are all CORRECT. this opinion of his given in this video is not just his opinion- it is the opinion of every intelligent right-minded person in the world. His opinion is correct. He really should be a politician, especially as president he would wake up so many people just by getting his ideas more out in the open.

I hope his new broadcasting company takes over everything in media today.

[MattsOnHisYT]

@ponder2006 leave one channel for sports
