Political correctness, in all its ugly yet well meaning glory, can be stupid. Frankly, as a member of the evil liberal conspiracy myself, I find it a bit offensive when people are out banning West Side Story (It had hispanics in a *gasp* GANG!) in the name of my political philosophy. However, I also hear the phrase invoked fairly often as an excuse for gay bashing and similar attacks. The reasoning trotted out seems to be something like "those damned liberals said we should be nice to gays, so that makes it okay to call them faggits and beat them!" Pingouin's point seems to be exactly this - you should attack the implementation, not the philosophy.
