Which evokes the question: who does represent Democrats? Each time one of these characters makes an incredibly stupid or outrageous remark, we are assured "he doesn't represent Democrats." In Byrd's case, is he speaking for the Klan?
Judging by its popularity, Nazism seems to be Democrats' preferred analogue when dealing with the opposition party's programs. They seem incapable of judging any GOP incentive without referring in some fashion to Hitler. Is their collective imagination that stunted and juvenile?
Pachy, you know that the Democratic party is the king(or queen, as of late
) of the emotional phrase.
There are certain provocative phrases and analogies that are their bread-and-butter:
1. Racist: if you don't support reverse-discrimination or you don't believe that civil-rights leaders such as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton are more credible role-models than such achievers as Dr. Bill Cosby or Justice Clarence Thomas, then you will be called a racist. Amendment: The aforementioned criteria are no longer required. You will be called a racist for presenting any belief counter to DNC or NAACP dogma.
2. Sexist: if you believe that there are differences between men and women, then you shall be referred to as sexist. Amendment: The aforementioned criteria are no longer required. You will be called a sexist for presenting any belief counter to DNC or NOW dogma.
3. Homophobe: if you believe that sexual behavior between members of the same sex is anything other than completely natural and normal, you shall be referred to as a homophobe. Amendment: The aforementioned criteria are no longer required. You may be labeled as a homophobe for presenting any belief counter to DNC dogma or wincing when two half-naked men from your local GLBTA engage in extremely graphic sexual behavior on a float in front of your children during the "Founder's Day Parade" in your town.
4. Right-wing Christian extremist: if you accidentally switched on a local church service while surfing the channels on your TV during the last five years, you may be referred to as a right-wing Christian extremist. Amendment: The aforementioned criteria are no longer required. You may be labeled a right-wing Christian extremist for any reason, rational or not.
5. Fascist: No criteria exist for this label. It may be liberally applied to anyone that doesn't agree with you on any level.
6. Nazi: see Fascist.
7. Hate: the act of not agreeing with a liberal.
You'll see the average lib throwing around these terms quite often, because their message relies on emotion instead of logic. They don't have to justify their usage of a label against someone else. That would be "oppressive".
