For me, the expression "politically correct" has to carry sarcasm or heavy
irony.  It suggests that someone is concerned with maintaining or even
enforcing a `party line' of some sort, at the expense of independent
thinking.  If I wrote "A has attacked B's article as not being politically
correct" I would be attacking A as a dogmatist.
