I think we need to start from the source of origin. As I recall the term "political correctness" was coined by a couple of college students as a lark and a joke a couple decades back. And for what ever reasons, it became popular and well accepted and the use of it became wide spread.
So here is where I see the problem in it,s use. What perameters define the use of "political correctness". I don't think there is any valid definitions or situations in the English vocabulary that warrants the use of it to describe a condition, action, or form of expression.
If anything it is a declaration of politeness, consideration and it strongly trends towards a expression of cowardice more than anything.
Frankly I despise the use of it. I adds so dam much negativity to an expression of an opinion or thought that it just plain ticks me off to no end.

I now give up my soapbox
