ANOTHER CASUALTY IN THE PC WAR

NBC News host Megyn Kelly appears to be on her way to unemployment and, once again, it's over on-air, politically incorrect comments.

Kelly said that, back when she was a kid, wearing blackface was okay "as long as you were dressing up as a character." She also defended Luann de Lesseps, of the Real Housewives of New York, who may have darkened her skin, and who definitely wore an oversized Afro wig, when she dressed up as Diana Ross.

Those opinions, apparently, were enough to get Kelly fired. She had, in the NBC executives' eyes, committed an unpardonable sin. She had voiced PC heresy.

Kelly apologized, twice. Once by text and once on-air. The latter was in front of a live audience who gave her a standing ovation.

It was not enough for the people in power. What could have been a learning moment became another attempt to squelch debate and silence someone with an unpopular opinion.
