I was thinking the same thing about the "flaming emo-progs" moniker. djean111 Mar 2014 #1
Neither one of them are helpful. GoCubsGo Mar 2014 #4
but what they SHOULD do is support Democrats....but somehow some think hatred is support. VanillaRhapsody Mar 2014 #27
Now, you're stalking me? GoCubsGo Mar 2014 #30

Nope. Not at all. GoCubsGo Mar 2014 #114

Yes, and I've noticed they're not thinking logically or strategically at all. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #71
NOT at all...they don't get it....that the mushy middle votes for what appears to be the Winner... VanillaRhapsody Mar 2014 #73
Exactly, Vanilla. I'm very much a leftist (probably too much) but if we don't get the Repugs out... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #79
They just got to understand we will NOT win by bashing Democrats.... VanillaRhapsody Mar 2014 #124
I'm hoping for the same. The bashing of Democrats should not be tolerated. nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #141
the midterms are getting closer and closer... VanillaRhapsody Mar 2014 #142
Yup, and the GOPers are pouring lots of $ into propaganda and lies nt Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #143
and then those lies somehow manage to spill over into DU....imagine that... VanillaRhapsody Mar 2014 #144
Whatever the GOPers are most against, is what I'm most in favor of, so right now I'm more pro-Obama Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #146
TOTALLY on board with you Sarah...if the ACA is so bad that they try to repeal it 51 times so far... VanillaRhapsody Mar 2014 #147

Yes, but who invented it and why? CJCRANE Mar 2014 #161
It doesn't describe supporters. It describes fanatics. Ed Suspicious Mar 2014 #2

Thanks for clearing that up for us. (And Bill O'Reilly says "thanks". He was tired ... 11 Bravo Mar 2014 #15
"Fanatics" is also a slur, which you use to describe anyone who approves of Obama's actions pnwmom Mar 2014 #67
Bullshit. It is a slur, to be sure, but my standard for application is not "approves more than me." Ed Suspicious Mar 2014 #86
YES! Same with "Obama Zombies", a title of a book alp227 Mar 2014 #3
ODS was also coined by the RW when it was known as BDS.. frylock Mar 2014 #7
Claiming a term was invented by the other side is a typical RW maneuver Capt. Obvious Mar 2014 #8
As is rationalizing a pejorative... LanternWaste Mar 2014 #12
LOL LondonReign2 Mar 2014 #17
He's claiming it was invented by RWers which is probably true CJCRANE Mar 2014 #54
Linking to Urbandictionary is another well known RW tactic Capt. Obvious Mar 2014 #77
You're just going to call everything RW now aren't you? CJCRANE Mar 2014 #80
One still has to wonder Jamaal510 Mar 2014 #9
