Hardball: Bob Shrum just made that Rogers RNC creep say "Democratic"

[Skidmore]

instead of "Democrat" twice. Shrum corrected him twice and then he self-corrected. See, I told you that we need to call them on this disrespect and demand respect.

1. Totally agreed

EVERY Democrat who goes on these shows must correct these people and make them say DEMOCRATIC, when using the word as an adjective.

[Skidmore]

4. If you don't stand up to abuse, the abuser will continue to demean

you. The freaking Republican party is like an abusive spouse, and the Dems have been acting like victims. The legislators and spokespeople for the party need be assertive and stand up for itself and its constituency--those with actual votes and not corporate dollars in their fists.

10. Agree wholeheartedly

It is such an obvious slight, all while they play dumb, and they need to be called on it. Everytime.

2. Ed Rogers is one slimy bastard.

:grr:

3. I've heard jr & that asshole mccain use it over & over.

It's a wise ass deal.

[Skidmore]

5. Kick.

Because this is important to do.

6. He threw the little shit off his stride, too!!!!

I agree, every time they say it wrong, they should be corrected...and it should be implied, not that they are using that GOP Rat code, but that they are STUPID.

The vast majority of Americans don't 'get' that DEMOCRAT shit. It's code just for the mouth breathers. And when they are called on it, they get all discombobulated!

7. I enjoyed that very much.

I like your point about calling them on the disprespect.

8. Wow...first time I've ever heard any "Dem" correct the

repugs when they INTENTIONALLY do this, and if you think it's not intentional, you haven't been listening. I clearly remember listening to NPR before the Iraq invasion, and a far right guest kept saying "Democrat" as an adjective. Of course the "neutral" NPR host never called him on it, so finally a caller did. The rightwing jerk played dumb, and the host was worse, implying that the caller was too sensitive. This has been going on for a long time.

13. It's all because "Democrat" polled negatively over "Democratic"

In their focus groups. It's pretty sick when you think about it.

[Marr]

9. Yeah- they've been trying to turn it into a slur, like "liberal".

[maxfisher]

11. Ed Rogers (shutter)

He is such a creepy mama's boy looking turd. He looks like he secretly wears pantyhose.

[JerseygirlCT]

12. That was great, and I completely agree. They can't get away with

trying to seem polite while insisting on that incorrect word usage.

Shrum did well tonight, I thought.
