I've found that less insults yield better results, if you're looking for a real discussion of an issue. If you have to resort to insults, you're probable not going to make your point with the opposition because they're not going to listen.I'll be happy to once again post a nice, long list of honest liberals who know and admit that PC has gone too far. They also describe how it's far more than just "being careful" - it is used as a weapon, particularly by one end of the political spectrum. Many, many examples in that last.I stay away from the term "political correctness" because it means different things to different people.^^^^ Textbook Islamophobes going batshit crazy. ^^^^
According Merriam Webster. It means agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people. Is this really such a bad idea? My Mom and Dad certainly taught me this as did their parents.
The list includes President Obama, among many others. And the proud, lifelong Democrat in my sig.
Unfortunately, that same end avoids a honest conversation about it, because they are dishonest. And I can never get them to comment on Obama's words, because they are dishonest.
Happy to post that list again upon request.

What does bother me is people that have no interest in really discussing an issue but are just looking for someone to unleash a tirade of insults. Most of these people only read enough of a post to determine if it's from the opposition.
