Is anyone else sick unto death of hearing the half dozen Senate Blue Dogs referred to as

[Atticus]

"moderate Democrats" in the MSM? I guess all 54 of the other Senate Dems are "liberals".

And, if Ben Nelson is a moderate, what the hell would it take for someone to be tagged "conservative Democrat"? A "Sarah Rocks" tattoo on each cheek of their posterior?

[saracat]

1. No kidding. I I heard that and barfed. Moderate my ass.

the fact is few of the dems are liberals and that is a real shame.

[SharonAnn]

23. Absolutely! They are not moderates! They are right-wing conservatives!

[Bitwit1234]

2. For someone who has shown he has his head up the butt

of insurance companies, with getting that anti-trust amendment pulled, who in the world wants a traitor like him in the democratic party. It is too damn bad that we all can't kick him out we have to be from Nebraska.

18. THEY ARE JUST SETTING UP THE FRAME

3. Kelly what's-her-name was doing that last night on NBC.

It really pissed me off.

[Frosty1]

4. Yes

n/t

[spanone]

5. not liberal, 'radical'

[Cirque du So-What]

6. I can count on one hand

the senators I consider true liberals...and I'd probably have fingers to spare after giving everyone's voting record a good going-over.

[hardcoreliberal]

7. They are Republicrats

While they may have a "D" next to their name, they are really just conservatives. In Canada, they would be in our conservative party.

[Beacho]

8. Nah

I just upgraded my definition of 'asshole' to include the term 'moderate' when I hear it on the MSM.

[Warpy]

9. They look moderate if you think far right lunatics are merely conservative

Unfortunately, our party has always been plagued by conservatives, first from Dixie in the form of "boll weevil Democrats" and now mainly from the midwest.

A pox on all their houses. I dearly hope their constituents catch a clue and kick them out during the primaries in favor of someone to the LEFT of Atilla the Hun.

[Bozita]

10. Better to call them Blue Cross Dogs.

My apologies to all real dogs.

[The Midway Rebel]

11. Yes! Nauseating attempts at thought control!

Control language and you can control thought. The Nazis knew this and I would expect it from them. But, from the American free press? Come. ON! What planet is this?

[gratefultobelib]

16. I clicked on your profile and saw you are from Lone Jack. I'm in Grain Valley. Welcome!

[The Midway Rebel]

22. Howdy!

... just east of Lee's Summit and south of Lottawanna here!

[Vinca]

12. They might be moderate Republicans, but they aren't moderate Democrats.

[Canuckistanian]

13. The media have done an admirable job in moving the goalposts

Now, even right-leaning Democrats are called "liberal" or "leftists".

Ever notice that you never hear of "right-leaning Democrats"?

[annabanana]

14. They HAVE to call them that. . otherwise they'd have to

admit that the "liberals" are moderate, and the "lefty finge" is merely liberal.

[hootinholler]

15. Nope on the forehead. n/t

[chill_wind]

17. Yes, the design is to frame everyone to the left of that,

even a little, as "immoderate" and extreme. "Moderate" is credible and desirable. Everything else on the whole left of center spectrum - bad and to be discounted as fringe. They (corp media) are good at their craft. Very, very good.

[Odin2005]

19. Yup. They are not moderates. They are CORPORATISTS!

[appal_jack]

20. NPR is among the worst to do this

Well, I guess I shouldn't say worst, since I don't watch much TV, but all the time the National Propaganda for Republicans broadcasters refer to Nelson, Stupak, etc. as "moderates" and "centrists." Frankly, that level of bullshit in a 'public' medium raises my bloodpressure.

K&R.

21. DemoCons, just like their twin repigliCons.

[glitch]

24. DemoCons is perfect, gonna use it. I already use RepliCons. They compliment each other. nt

25. YEEEESSSSS!
