When Rep. Ilhan Omar used the phase "Some people did something", the far-right media went after her as if she had denied 9/11 ever happened.

Today I see posts criticizing the NY Times for uses the words "airplanes took aim" with some websites claiming "NY Times claims 'airplanes took aim' at World Trade Center on 9/11, not terrorists."

We've seen how anyone presenting different views can be labeled traitor, evil, or unAmerican. Are we now at a point where, even when not making an opposing viewpoint, if the "correct" words are not used then one is labeled the same?

Politics, even here in Canada, is getting rather petty with both sides looking for or even twisting innocent comments into huge issues where they hurl all sorts of accusations at the faux offender.

And, they are the same people who go ballistic blasting the left for political correctness in language
