Buttons saying "Politically Correct" were for sale and in fact I have one in my collection. It's hard to imagine anyone wearing such a button in full seriousness. There was even a cover of MOTHER JONES showing Ed Asner holding such a button in front of one of his eyes. I doubt that this lacked humorous content.
