There is a widespread perception that “political correctness” is characteristic of liberals. It certainly is true that liberals are quick to pounce on statements that stereotype or offend certain demographics. That said, here are some instances of conservatives showing they can be just as politically correct, about the people and issues they care about.

But some of the above statements are bad, and deserve outrage!
Some of them are, yes. Just like some of the statements that liberals are upset about.
If liberals are allowed to insist on political correctness, why can’t conservatives?
Everyone is entitled to request (or demand) respectful conduct. You should definitely speak up when someone says something they shouldn’t.
