Again, the term is not literal. There is also a term called the PC thought-police; a reference to politically correct loonies who seek to censor free speech and anything they dislike, they are not literally the police but it is clearly figuratively speaking.
I think both terms trade in hyperbole, and as such they cloud communications by introducing associations that are emotional, rather than content-laden.
