(614 posts)this has been going on for many years, and - like everything else they do - the republicans just keep at it till it sticks.
like telling that lie over and over and over, till everyone thinks it's true.
plus, they do it just to get a dig in; a real FU move. repugnant.
and yes, i railed on rachel back before i stopped watching her when her website still easily took comments.
but, horror or horrors, i've even heard amy goodman slip and say that before!
that's how damn insidious it is!!
so, my friends, we should all make a pact right here and now to call out, subtly and gently, each and every time we hear someone do that.
just, you know, to be clear about the language. and all that.
if someone objects, it's easy enough to point out that hey, it's just bad grammar, and they sound ignorant making that error. if they persist, we can point out that they are then sounding intentionally provocative. see where it goes from there.....
