As the political commercials hit the climax before never having to see another for four years they get better and better. Recently the Republican candidates for the President/Vice President have appeared on Saturday night live. John McCain was the first sitting senator on SNL in 2002 and possibly due to lack of campaign funds Vice President candidate Sarah Palin and Presidential runner John McCain have made numerous appearances on SNL. Sometimes not being played by themselves. This political satire is about as American as it can be. The nonstop attack messages sent by Politicians are more than just annoying sometimes they’re humorous. In this running I believe the fact that the Republican hopefuls shows a lot about the different attitudes between the different sides. Although SNL started out attacking the Republican side with many Political Satires, the McCain party realized this is just how it is and to show this more they went on the show to further show it doesn’t affect them. However although I am going into this with a bias I feel the other side has been getting offended much more. When something bad about the Obama campaign comes up it either is quickly removed from the air or is turned around as a ruthless attack by the Republican Party. Although this is just the way it is and I very helpful for the Democrat party I don’t see it as very American. Freedom of Speech, the most influential and important part of this country seems to be gone in this election. Only one-sided views are being shown and many offenses are being taken about racial ignorance, and when it was between Obama and Hilary Clinton there was much turmoil of being ignorant to women. If we are all equal everything must be equal, people need to not be so offended over things and further have faith in who they believe they are instead of what people say about them. This only further supports my need to research political correctness and freedom of speech for my research paper.
