[lbo-talk] Definition of "Political Correctness"

[Robert Wrubel]

A minor, pedantic point:  this thread started out as a
discussion of political correctness, and immediately
switched to a discussion of right/left or left/left
partisan or sectarian attack speech.  They're not the
same thing.  Partisan political speech is as old as
organized society, whereas political correctness is a
sarcastic term coined in the late 20th century by
righties to slur liberals as mindless conformists.
