I said it's the RIGHT's politically correct phrase. Normally, PC is the domain of the left, but this term homicide bomber is a totally political phrase. Even its suppporters here say it's intent is to apply stigma. As if I can't just read facts and know how to feel about them on my own. The entire reason for using the stupid phrase is political. That's why I say it's a form of politically correct speech. Because it is. It's definitely LESS descriptive than suicide bomber.
What is CORRECT (in the PC sense) about changing 'suicide' to 'homicide' in the phrase?
As I see it, the only reason to make the change is to clarify that the purpose of these bombers is to murder others......not just kill themselves. One can argue about its value, but calling it "PC".....left or right.........is just plain not accurate.
And definitely not worth getting upset about. (Don't you have more important things - like say, abortion, socialism, or leftist lying to name a few - to worry about without getting worked up about a word change by Fox News?)
