No longer is the first thing thought when something controversial is heard, "Is it true, does it have any validity, does the speaker think it is true, does he have backing for it?" It is now to the effect of, "Did it offend anyone? If someone is offended by it, it is offensive, therefore all involved should be punished! No one has the right to offend the unwilling! Bwa!!!!!!"

It's all context. Construction workers say things every day that woudl get Bush impeached if he said them. Rush says stuff on his show every day that isn't appropriate for an nfl pregame show.
If anything, I think the world is LESS sensitive these days compared to the touchy-feely 70's, so I can't agree with your "spreading like cancer" statement. Here in CA we have a candidate for governor that (rightly or wrongly) is accused of groping many women and saying that he admired hitler, and there really isn't that much of an uproar about it.
I really don't know why the entertainment companies keep trying to mix politics and football. Dennis Miller bombed, and now Rush did too. What next, Henry Kissinger doing color commentary on the field?
