What, in your mind, would qualify as liberal madness? Based on what you've defended on this forum, "nothing" seems close to the truth.

"I have a feeling that in this case Costello is off track but it hardly qualifies as liberal madness." (LongGone)
If that was the only case you might have a point. Here is only a microscopic list of things considered sexist and racist by the leftists/Democrats.
THINGS THAT ARE SEXIST
Chivalry: A man who opens a door for you. The fact that the man says he "helps" with house chores, as if he's a guest IN HIS OWN HOUSE and doesn't share 50% of the responsibility.
?Hurricane? sounds too much like ?her-icane.? ?Hurricane? sounds feminine, and consequently is misogynistic, making us associate the destructive storms with women. (Feminist Roxcy Bolton) She wanted to rename hurricanes to ?him-icanes.?
?E=mc2? is a ?sexed equation. It is sexist because it ?privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us.? French feminist Luce Irigaray
?MOAB.? ?mother of all bombs?) is sexist.
THINGS THAT ARE RACIST
?Black hole? is racist when a white commissioner said central collections ?has become a black hole.? A black commissioner was incensed and interrupted him with a loud ?Excuse me!? and declared central collections is ?a white hole.? The judge, who was also black, then demanded an apology from the white commissioner for his racially insensitive analogy.
Climate change is racist. ?Communities of color are more vulnerable to deaths from heat waves, which climate change will make worse #ActonClimate.? Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)
Investigating black politicians is racist according to Pennsylvania?s attorney general Kathleen Kane. In 2010, the state?s former attorney general Tom Corbett, who is now governor, investigated a bunch of Philadelphia politicians. In the course of the three year investigation four Democrats were caught for allegedly accepting bribes, The Inquirer reported. They were all black, and when Kane took office in 2013, she shut the investigation down, citing racism.
Improving a school full of black kids is racist. The Chicago Board of Education announced a plan to turnaround three low-performing schools in predominantly black neighborhoods. The process meant replacing every teacher at the failing schools. The teachers union declared, ?This is an attack onBlack schools.?
Voter ID laws are racist because Black people are too stupid to get an ID card. (Every Democrat politician in America).

I just told my wife this morning that I am SOOOOO tired of the media and their attempts to politicize EVERYTHING rather than simply report the news. It is now a necessary format that sides MUST be drawn and efforts must be made to garner viewership through sensationalization and polarization. To stir up the pot is the order of the day, and it makes the world seem like it has gone completely off its' rocker!
Isn't like half the actors and actresses from that movie... dead?
Like what are they going to do? Ban the movie? Censor it like their socialist counterparts?

I watched part of the Quiet Man last night and was amazed they still allowed it on television.
John Wayne drags Maureen O'Hara back to their home. By today's standards, it was pretty misogynistic.
"It's a Wonderful Life" is sexist?! Methinks the author wanted some attention.

Listing a series of points you don't agree with and and assume that all Democrats do doesn't make for an argument. My stepson who is a youth pastor in a conservative (Independent Christian) church was telling me about a conservation that he had with a mother. This women has had trouble with a teenage daughter and James has been working with the daughter and family and has seen some success. The mother is leaving the church and withdrawing his daughter from the youth program because James doesn't believe Harry Potter is satanic. I think this is just wacky but I have known Christians that believe Santa is satanic (rearrange the letters in his name and they spell Satan), Sesame Street was satanic, Dungeons and Dragons were satanic, Halloween is satanic and the list could go on and on with whatever is the new trendy thing. It would be wrong to say that conservative Christian embrace madness because there are some Christians who hold these point of views.
My guess is that there are Christians out there that would say "It's a Wonderful Life" is satanic because the doctrine is not scriptural in that it teaches that people who die become angels and must earn their wings. Anything out of Hollywood is of the devil anyhow. The truth is that the vast majority of conservatives and liberals can watch "It's a Wonderful Life" and be inspired by the story and walk away appreciating the life that has been given to them.
Some of the issues you mentioned were not clear or I am not familiar with the circumstances. A I am familiar with two that I don't feel that you have represented fairly. Kathleen Kane did mention that she felt that Corbett investigation was racially bias. The other factors that went into shutting down the investigation included the fact that the investigation has gone on for years without getting enough evidence for the Attorney General's Office to feel they could win in court. There were problems with the main witness who was a convicted felon himself. It may not have been racially motivated but it does appear that possibly Republican Corbett was targeting Democrats as he prepared his run for governor. We definitely know now that Kane had her own skeletons in the closet but it would be disingenuous to claim that race was the only reason Kane dropped the investigation.
On voter ID...no Democrat has said that black people are to stupid to get an ID card. Republicans have used voter ID as a tool in hoping to sway elections by discouraging poor people to vote. Poor people would be less likely to have ID on election day and more likely to vote for Democrats. The guise has been voter fraud. There is not evidence to support that enough fraud exists to change elections. I don't think racism is the driver but the desire to keep people from voting that would vote for Democrats.

About as many Democrats will agree that farmers markets are racist as there are Republicans that believe if Santa is Satan because they have the same letters in their names.
