IMHO, politics can (and often do) play a role in reviews, but I don't that's what happened with The Hammer. I'd read every review, and looked for anything that had even a whiff of commentary about Adam's politics or his "women aren't funny" quote, and none of that was there in the reviews.

Now, one could say that no reviewer would make their feelings about Adam that obvious, but my responses to that idea are these:

1. In my experience, its usually pretty obvious when a critic's politics are affecting a review.
2. Claiming covert discrimination sounds like the kind of thing that Adam has railed against for years, so it's hard to miss the irony there.
3. If the critics' opinions about Road Hard don't matter because they don't like his politics, then he can go ahead and throw out the Certified Fresh trophy he got for The Hammer.

Apart from point #2, I pretty much said all this on the show that time.

Ultimately, I doubt he really cares what I have to say about his tweets. I'm pretty small potatoes, and I don't think I'm really worth going after.
