FWIW, I worked for an environmental organization back when I was in college - approx 1986. And as you might imagine, most of the volunteers were hard core lefties. And I can report that back then, the term "politically correct" was used by lefties to describe the effed up fascist attitudes of tin foil hat "lefties" who gave liberalism a bad name. In other words, "politically correct" was a derogatory term similar to - but more insulting than - RINO. The term was obviously intended to conjure images of Stalinist re-education camps and the fascists who used the cloak of liberalism to hide their twisted political motivations.
So from my perspective, it was horrifying to see the lunatics take over the asylum some time in the early 90's. I clearly recall hearing people say the term "political correctlness" with pride and thinking, "Dude, do you know that is an insult?"
Just curious if anyone else had the same experience and remembers it the same way I do.
