- That's not 'radical' PC... it is *CLASSIC* PC. The very essence of PC is that
- there is no such thing as being 'too far to the left'. I guess 'radical' PC
- would be something like rounding up incorrect thinkers and shipping them out
- to labor camps a la Josef Stalin.

- The first time I ever heard the term 'politically incorrect' it was used
- by a radical feminist friend (now, sadly, a former friend) to describe anyone
- who deviates from the standard left-wing anti-white-male line, and even she
- found it somewhat oppressive at times. The term was in vogue long before it was
- exposed by Newsweek magazine, and is a perfect illustration of the essentially
- totalitarian-fascist charactert of much of modern liberalism. The notion that
- 'political correctness' was created by the right wing is an absolute bare-faced
- LIE promoted by some liberals who were embarrassed by such a blatant display of
- fascistic tendencies in their own movement.
