Since the question is being asked, I'd suggest replacing "politically incorrect" with "controversial", or even better, "heretical".  Since it was a group of Pharisees looking to trap and accuse Jesus, the original meaning is most likely that they were tying to catch him in heresy, which was their domain.  Quoting Jesus as saying something politically incorrect for that period would only allow Him to be embarrassed at most - these men want to have Jesus eliminated since they saw him as a threat to their authority. --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 09:11, 27 January 2010 (EST)

:I don't think the Pharisees had an atheistic separation between church and state. Heresey would have been considered politically incorrect. The Pharisees ''hated'' Christ. They would have jumped on anything, not just heresey. [[User:JeffT|JeffT]] 09:23, 27 January 2010 (EST)

::Right, and the Pharisees did try to catch Jesus in criticism of Caesar, not only heresy.  Recall the question about whether one should pay taxes to Caesar.  It would have been "politically incorrect" -- and deadly -- for Jesus to answer as the Pharisees hoped.

::But I have an open mind about this and agree that further discussion is warranted.  Note that because "politically incorrect" is one of the [[Best New Conservative Words]], it won't appear in any Greek-to-English lexicon.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 09:39, 27 January 2010 (EST)
