[Arlo had said to Krimel]
What about the PCization of "creation" into "intelligent design"? 
That was pretty sly backdrop attempt using language manipulation (ie, 
PC), wasn't it? Does that piss Platt off too?

[Arlo adds]
Someone reminded me here that I forgot probably the biggest 
right-wing PC attempt being made presently; recasting "torture" as 
"interrogation techniques". I wonder if this abhorrent use of PC has 
Platt's teabags in hot water?

I was also reminded of the right-wing demonizing that was done to the 
Dixie Chicks for their statement "Just so you know, we're on the good 
side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're 
ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas." 
Between threats on their lives, unbridled hatred and invectives, 
harassment and the typical right-wing reaction of "Burn it!", the 
Dixie Chicks suffered one of the most vile PC attacks in recent times.

Wonder where Platt's outrage against PC was then?
