Certain elements have used "Democrat Party" as a perjorative for a
generation or so. They like it when they get a reaction. So ignore it or
tell them to f off.

Well, I guess it is really a schoolyard thing. Calling someone a "card
carrying memeber" of some or other organization is not, on its face,
offensive, but everyone accepts as such. I know when I hear some asswipe
sneer "Democrat Party," what he is getting at, and he or she can kiss it.

I gotta say, I'm with Fang on this one. I wouldn't have even known there
is a difference. Also, I know lots of "card carrying members" or
organizations, NRA for example, and they don't find it offensive that you
know they carry the lifetime card. In fact, they are proud of it.
Also, "Democrat party" sounds more correct to me. Calling it "democratic
party" insinuates that all the other parties aren't democratic.
Republicans and libertarians are democratic, but not Democrat.

I appreciate it when wingnuts say that. It lets me know immediately that

Horseshit.
And the modern Republican party is about as far from democratic as it gets.

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective.

Chris "a thrill ran up my leg when I heard Obama speak" Matthews is minister
of propaganda for the Democrats and the Obama administration. If you
understand that he sees it as his job to advance their beliefs and
interests, it puts what he says in perspective.

I made an account and was trolling DailyKos so bad. Those guys fall right
in line with talking points, it's like playing with puppets. But in one
post I made the egregious error using "Democrat party" instead of
"Democratic party." They all came out of the woodwork and flamed me worse
than I've ever been flamed on here. I don't get it either.

I listen to people I disagree with quite frequently -- I have quite a few
intelligent conservative friends, and I have professional disagreements with
my cow-orkers from time to time. I have a lot of respect for all of them,
because they're intelligent, thoughtful people.
I don't feel compelled to put people who use the phrase "Democrat Party" in
that category is all. Sorry all to hell if that vexes you.

The whole country now is so easily offended. I've never gotten
offended by a joke that targeted my religion, my race, or any other
trait of mine. Seems like some people go out of there way to get
pissed off. I've always figured tough shit on 'em.

If you're trying to imply that the term offends me, don't, because it
doesn't -- I've never been a member of any political party and I don't
identify with the Democrats. As I said, I use it as a triage tool to decide
who to pay serious attention to.
Sounds like Jason was plenty offended by that though. Maybe you were
talking about him.
Jim
Clave
========================================================================
You aren't going to find any grammatical justification for the deliberate
illiteracy.
"Republican" is both a noun and a verb, "Democrat" is just a noun, and
"Democratic" is just a verb.
This isn't rocket science, boys -- it isn't even advanced grammar. I mean
really -- this is a pretty pathetic thing to suck at.
Jim
FangBanger
like democratic and republic and other words that have varying meaning in
the context of how they are used
I knew a guy who was iranian and he explained the difference in the
pronunciation of the word Iranian
To pronounce it eye.rain.i.an is a tremendous insult but
if you pronounce it ear.on ian it is the proper pronunciation
i still havent seen anything that points out the distinction between the 2
terms used on the broadcast

And while we are at it, Republican is both a noun and an adjective,

I'm not sure why itmakes people mad either doggy, but I do think it
started with that TV ad where RAT was highlighted. I remember people
placing emphasis on the RAT just to make democrats mad. I thought

Oh I understand it is not grammatically correct, but do you really
think the people that are offended by it are offended because it would
have been marked wrong in 6th grade English?
How do you cope with the fact that by your own definition you suck at
grammar and are pathetic?

I don't think as many people are "offended" by it as you'd like to believe.
I'm far from in the minority as to those on the left who simply see it as a
mark of rank wingnuttery, and it's not even close to the more egregious

That's your choice, peanut. Based on your contributions to other threads, I
don't think I'm missing out on a whole lot.
At least I'm paying enough attention to know the difference between the bank
bailout and the stimulus package.
Oh, and have you educated yourself on the welfare situation in red states
yet, or have you just repressed that whole thing?

yeah , maybe that is it , but Matthews was on the verge of swearing at the
guy , he cut him off and went to the other guest. he made a reference to
'childish" and told the Senator that "that crap wasnt going to fly " on
the show (paraphrasing )
I remember the ad and the minor flap during the election , but this
sounded way bigger than that . I just assumed that I was missing something
about the context , and was trying to learn something .

If by "running down people who use it" you mean "making fun of clowns", then

I try not to watch the news channels and can't explain Mathews, but
language in politics is a bit like position in poker. Carefully chosen
words have power. Particular words and phrases are often studied and
analyzed in focus groups very carefully by political interests. The
reasons opponents refer to the party as Democrat rather than Democratic
are obvious. Right to life or anti abortion. Climate change or global
warming. Withdrawal or retreat. Torture or enhanced interrogation. Ya
gotta spin it to win it.... bleh

If you pointed someone out and said "He's a democratic", the person
next to you would look at you with a quizzical expression.
If you pointed someone out and said "He's a Democrat", the person next
to you would know exactly what you meant.
If you pointed someone out and said "He's a republic", the person next
to you would look at you with a quizzical expression.
If you pointed someone out and said "He's a Republican", the person
next to you would know exactly what you meant.
Republicans belong to the Republican Party.
Democrats belong to the Democrat Party.
That's consistent.
