	Political correctness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political correctness (also politically correct, P.C. or PC) is a term used to describe language that appears calculated to provide a minimum of offense, particularly to the racial or cultural groups being described.
		However, critics of political language choice argue the new terms are often awkward, euphemistic substitutes for the original stark language concerning differences such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and political views.
		Some on the political left reject the conservative definition of the term when applied as a blanket political epithet to all liberals and leftists, but do concede there is indeed a pervasive political correctness which has become a problem on the left.

	Politically Incorrect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Politically Incorrect was a late-night, half-hour political talk show hosted by Bill Maher that ran from 1995 to 2002.
		Maher has been quoted as saying the show's cancellation came about because the politically conservative Walt Disney Corporation, which owns ABC, was offended by his criticisms of President George W. Bush, and pulled the show despite its strong ratings.
		Maher has made many jokes referencing back to Politically Incorrect, some of which center on his resentment towards ABC for canceling the show, but that he prefers to be on HBO where he does not have to "whore" himself.

	A Book Review: Politically Incorrect by Ralph Reed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Politically Incorrect reassures its audience (presumably mostly evangelicals) that the Christian Coalition is a mainstream, multicultural, multi-ethnic tour de force.
		Politically Incorrect constantly advocates a standard that is different from what the Word of God requires: "If religious conservatives served in government, parole would be abolished for violent felons and repeat violent offenders would spend the rest of their lives in jail...
		Although Reed disagrees with Carter's leftist politics, he agrees with the principle set forth in the book: that religion should be an accepted principle upon which to base one's political beliefs and that neither liberals nor conservatives should view the opposing candidate's religious convictions as the basis for an attack on their politics.

	Liberty - Everything You Know About History Is Wrong
		Many libertarians have proudly embraced and self-applied the label "politically incorrect," and wannabe libertarians such as Bill Maher have transformed its meaning into one signifying style more than substance: an inflammatory and in-your-face approach to commentary designed to offend the sensibilities of those in the political mainstream.
		This piece of history is far more politically incorrect than anything you will ever see in an Ann Coulter column, and it's a reminder that the worst Communist sympathizers, the ones with the most blood on their hands, were not the ignorant liberal journalists, but rather the most celebrated heroes of the U.S. warfare state.
		He explains the differences between political capitalists — such as most of the railroad tycoons, who fed off the powers of the government — and entrepreneurial capitalists, who made their enormous wealth by producing for the masses and raising their standard of living.

	Politically Incorrect
		Politically Incorrect would also like to state that all fictional works represented are fiction, all non-fictional works are non-fiction, and all works that are neither are neither.
		Politically Incorrect also maintains that all resemblances to words, thoughts, ideas, copyrighted ideas, and plans for world domination are purely coincidental because, after all, you are only looking at strings of zeroes and ones.
		Politically Incorrect is also not responsible for headaches from staring at the computer screen, Carpel Tunnel syndrome from writing us long angry letters, gross negligence on your part from reading this and ignoring the rest of the world, or anything else you weirdoes can think up.

	Jonah Goldberg on Politically Incorrect on National Review Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Politically Incorrect is one of the last icons of the 1990s conflation of celebrity and politics: George magazine, Murphy Brown, "policy summits" at the White House for the likes of Billy Crystal and Richard Dreyfuss, "serious" speeches by Barbra Streisand.
		Similarly, the idea behind Politically Incorrect is to get a bunch of pretty people together and have them argue with politicians and other political professionals (journalists, activists, etc.).
		Of course, the real aim of the show is to make fun of conservatives while sounding "politically incorrect." As Maher told Playboy in 1997, "Ninety percent of show-business people are nutty liberals." So the liberal seats are filled with lefty comedians, movie stars, and rappers.

	CNN.com - Criticizing 'Politically Incorrect' is correct - June 13, 2002
		As such, pointing out why ''Politically Incorrect'' outlasted its entertainment value long ago would be, I thought, obvious, but maybe not.
		And these days, most political commentators try to act like celebrities themselves, so as often as not, they're trying out punch lines and put-downs just as fast as the pros on the panel are.
		The result is a tiresome shout-fest, interrupted by Maher's increasingly sententious speeches, all of which could be titled ''This Is What I Believe.'' Knowing the end is nigh, he's using his show as a platform to shovel us as much of his philosophy as possible, before ABC gives him the hook.

	TAP: Web Feature: Economically Incorrect:. by Matthew Nisbet. June 3, 2002. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When the news broke, most media reports pegged Politically Incorrect's demise on Maher's "unpatriotic" remarks in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
		However, Maher -- who defines political correctness as the "elevation of sensitivity over truth" -- allegedly "went too far" when he remarked last fall that unlike the September 11 suicide terrorists, "we have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away." Reactions to Maher's words were swift and ferocious.
		In announcing the replacement of Politically Incorrect with Kimmel, ABC's Robert A. Iger explained to The New York Times that "we were looking for the person who was most compatible with Ted Koppel." If that comment strikes you as confusing, it's because Iger's remark requires some unpacking.

	'Politically Incorrect' History Has Neocons Steamed- by Justin Raimondo

		In today's constricted political "debate" — especially when it comes to foreign policy — only two flavors are allowed: right-wing neocon and left-wing neocon.
