PC run amok Dept.
Actually, this is an example of anti-PC run amok, which is the same thing.The indignant author of this article apparently doesn't know that CE and BCE have been standard usage in historical and archeological circles for over a century. What's more, it has been routine usage in Jewish articles and history books for decades, including those by the Orthodox Jews who voted for Bush and support his domestic and foreign policy, and have no more use for political correctness than Mr. Duke.
This usage may be a revelation to Mr. Duke, but let him rest assured it is not some new PC academic fashion designed to appease Islamists. Maybe he should talk to some bibical archeologists or professors of ancient history before he gets so upset.

You're obviously right, but I, for one, will cut this guy some slack. With the current efforts of groups like the ACLU and (sad to say) some Jews to rid the country of any vestige of Christianity, some people get defensive and assume the worst. See? I can be open-minded if I really try.
