#1 Dumbest Thing Republicans Say

[Britethorn]

Well, what do YOU think it is?

[gateley]

1. For those of us who can't watch now, what does this say? nt

[DLine]

2. Making fun of the way the GOP says....

"Democrat party" instead of Democratic party.

[gateley]

3. Thanks. nt

[xtraxritical]

6. I call them republiCONS every chance I get!

[Scuba]

4. "Democrat" Party. Not missing much Gately.

[gateley]

13. You're right -- not like we haven't heard it ad nausem. Thanks, Scuba. nt

[Scuba]

5. I think it's OK if the Republican'ts call us the Democrat Party.

[drm604]

10. They do it intentionally as a slur.

How is that OK?

(Yes, I know. It's a stupid slur. But it's their intention that counts, not the fact that the slur is weak.)

[Scuba]

11. I know it's intentional as a slur. So is Republican't.

[drm604]

12. I don't see Democrats using the term "Republican't" regularly as a matter of course.

It may have been used a few times in a speech denouncing Republicans but Democratic politicians and spokespersons don't go around on a daily basis refusing to use the actual name of the Republican party. I almost wish they would, but they don't.

Republicans do it as a matter of course.

7. Joseph McCarthy statred this

Democrat and Party are both nouns. Nouns don't modify other nouns, adjectives modify nouns. The adjective Democratic is the proper use for modifying the noun Party.
Just more evidence of Rethug ignorance.

8. That is NOT the dumbest things Republicans say.

Tax cuts for the rich create jobs!

George W. Bush protected us from the terrorists!

Businesses can regulate themselves!

Government can't do anything right! (Actually, that one is true . . . whenever Republicans are in charge.)

Drill, baby, drill!

Et cetera.

[gateley]

14. Et cetera is right -- the list is endless. nt

[90-percent]

9. Democrat Party

I remember Keith Olbermann covering a Bush speech, perhaps in the form of one of his wonderful SPECIAL COMMENTS:

"It's the DE-MO-CRA-TIC PARTY. Show a little respect!"

The Republicans use it as their cute little pejorative and I find it irksome. It also confirms the person using this phrase is a propaganda-laden shill that lies for a living, as most Nationally known Republicans do.

15. That... was a waste of video. Stating the obivious.

[freedom fighter jh]

16. Obvious, yes. But it was funny and well done. nt

17. That's why I call them the RepubliCON Party. n/t
