I think this is the problem a lot of the time when this comes up, people are working from different definitions of what "political correctness" is, along with different connotations, different things they tie to the term even if they aren't part of the definition.
I think the majority of political correctness, especially if you look at less extreme forms of it, overlaps with not being a jerk. I think people would disagree less and actually get somewhere more if they stopped making it be about this relatively recent term and just put it in terms of being a decent human being.
I also think both groups, in general and right in this thread, tend to-- somewhat ironically-- cast the other side as uniformly not understanding or not caring about the concerns of their side. I challenge you to find anyone in the modern world that doesn't support freedom of speech, or anyone that thinks manners have no place in dealing with other people.
