(62,325 posts)phrases thought up by Right Wingers and the Third Way (is there a difference btw) for Democrats, that should be viewed as a very good thing. No more guessing as to who is pretending to be a Dem. It often explains why you might have felt that certain people never seemed to be actual Democrats to you.
We should really start a thread some day listing all these stupid phrases, such as 'Concern Troll' 'Professional Left' etc. all phrases and words invented, ironically by Professional Political Operatives. I actually had the misfortune to get to know some of these idiots when I first started out on political blogs. I assure you, you don't want to know these people, they are not just stupid, they are nasty. They are paid 'professionals' and they populated liberal blogs starting back in the early Bush years. Everyone who encountered them knew there was something wrong. I don't know what they were being paid for because all the did was to alienate everyone they met and never changed a single mind, well actually, they probably turned a lot of people OFF what they were trying to sell.
Stupid and nasty as these morons were, what is even worse is that a number of people adapted their ridiculous words apparently thinking it makes them sound smart or something.
I like it when I see someone resort to the use of these words because it makes it easier for me to recignize who I am dealing with and saves a lot of effort and time trying to talk to them.
I also know I am on the right side of an issue when someone using these ridiculous, childish phrases to attack 'the left' emerges from the shadows.
