I think you said what I mean. "Politically" correct is used because the argument is framed as a leftist/liberal "correct" viewpoint vs. a bigoted, racisist - Republican/conservative "incorrect" viewpoint. If you follow that logic(?) conservative = bigot.
:You're right. And that's what's happening on this thread.
Hollywood wants to reframe the concept of "PC" so that it means racist or bigot or something negative rather than what it really means. What antiPC really means is "anti-liberal group think".
Liberal PC concepts are used to shut down the discussion of ideas.
There were things liberals decided couldn't be talked about - they weren't "correct" to bring up... Conservatives started challenging those concepts. And no - not being PC is NOT the same as being a racist or a bigot. Liberals want to take away our right to question them.
You're right in catching this SuzyQue - parts of this thread are being hijacked by people who want to make conservatives look like bigots. Trollish to say the least.
