One referred to it as the anti-PC, conservatives rebranding things. So Conservatives will refer to themselves as skeptics, not deniers with regards to Global Warming. Homophobic groups are Pro-Bible/Family. 

One discussed using terms to put a positive spin on things this country does. So civilian casualties in war are collateral damage. 

Another was focused on the overabundance of patriotism since 9/11.

Never heard of it, and, now after googling it, I don't really know what it is. Is there a particular usage you are familiar with that you were hoping to discuss? Not sure I've seen too much of it at all.

I had NPR on Saturday and it came up in a conversation.  I'll have to find the story and the context.  It just stuck with me over the weekend as something I had not heard before.
