a stray thought on doublespeak

I may come back to embellish this thought at some point, along the lines of anti-intellectualism in American politics, but for now:

In case no one has noticed, "political correctness" has beome another one of those terms the RW has appropriated for its own use, to beat up on anyone not conforming to their theology. It would be nice if the media would catch on to this fact and recognize that, once again, the RW has out Orwelled Orwell. We should not make the same mistake. In this day of Bush and the neo-cons,and as well as the standard right wing wackos, political correctness increasingly invokes exactly the opposite of its original content. The rap against political correctness was that control of discourse and the conventioanl shape of the political landscape was dictated by pointy headed liberals (often in universities), always a favorite to kick around. Is there even a question that this paradigm no longer is valid?
