Are you Politically Correct if you say the "right thing" but you don't think it?

Recent comments in another thread got me to thinking.
In Atlas Shrugged government officials take John Galt prisoner and threaten to kill him if he does not say and do what they want him to say and do. in the context of the story they want him to stop being Politically Incorrect, and start being Politically Correct.
Pragmatically, in order to avoid death, he says he will say anything they want him to.
But the government men become enraged. They not only want him to say it, they want him to believe it. They are murderously frustrated because they know that he does not believe it.
Thus, in their opinion, he was still Politically Incorrect, even if he said and did the “right thing”.
Are you Politically Correct if you say it, but you don’t think it?
Or does that make you Politically Incorrect?
