As NB senior editor Tim Graham and Clay Waters of Times Watch have documented here and here, nothing gets under the skin of Democrats like using "Democrat" rather than "Democratic" as an adjective in referring to them. Thus, for example, the use of "Democrat party" apparently sends the blood pressure of the Pelosi crew skyrocketing.But on today's Good Morning America, discussing proposals to move up the date of presidential primaries in a number of states, This Week host George Stephanopoulos [file photo] said:
“Just about every campaign strategist I spoke with, on both the Democrat as well as Republican side, said . . . “
What? George Stephanopolous referred to the "Democrat side"? Could the former Clinton aide have fallen prey to a devious GOP mind-control plot? Might he be a deep Roveian mole?
Be on the lookout for an outraged letter to ABC from the DNC, demanding a retraction and apology ;-)Contact Mark at mark@gunhill.net

Thu, 03/15/2007 - 11:01 ET by BeukeboomIt's not surprising that the Democrat Party is attempting to rewrite history. So since it is historically accurate to call them the Democrat Party (after their origins in the old Whig Party) I find it disingenuous for them to suddenly decide to demand the change. But these are the same people who no longer wish to be called "liberal" but instead to be called "progressive."

Thu, 03/15/2007 - 11:11 ET by MikeBNor should they be called "liberal", as they wish to deprive the citizenry of liberty. Unfortunately, we, the people, have allowed them to hijack the language, so for decades they got away with using the label that implied freedom. Since the right in this country, who are the actual classical liberals, have managed to turn "Liberal" (with a great deal of assistance from the left) into a perjorative, the left now wishes to hijack a different word. The left is neither "liberal" in the classic sense, nor "progressive". However, they could not manage to fool very many in this country if they were honest and identified themselves as Marxists, now, could they?

It really is comical all in all, trying to change our everyday language to please a bunch of radical insane leftists that think somehow the change of the word is going somehow, someway to make them look so soft, understanding, just your everyday kind of nice neighbor, the we really really care about you out there syndrome...

McKinney is about to lose a highway named after her because, well, you know about McKinney. Nowhere in the AP story is her political party affiliation mentioned just Rep. Isn't it about time that the word Representative be spelled out completely. All Representatives are not the same. Some Representatives are good and the others are, well, Democratics.

"IC"-ky
Fri, 03/16/2007 - 11:06 ET by rubylensI used to use both "democrat" and "democratic" as adjectives pretty interchangeably without thinking much about it until they started making such a big fuss about it. Now I'm consistent in my refusal to use the "ic." It's my little defiance against the democrat party's attempts to control my speech and thoughts.
