5. Lee Atwater
He was the one who started pushing that codword...and it got amplified on hate radio. Most these goons use it now as a pejorative without any second thought...they can't help themselves.

Remember, these people disdain all things that involve democratic (small d) principals...they're the autocrats and authoritarians. They need to demonize as to feel superior and the more they're under attack, the more they demonize.

Cheers...

7. Democrat is a noun and Democrats the plural form of that noun.
Edited on Thu Jun-05-08 07:28 AM by patrice
A noun is a word indicating a person, place, or thing, as in "I am a Democrat."

Democratic is the adjective form of the noun "Democrat".

An adjective is a word that describes a person, place, or thing, as in "We are members of the Democratic(adjective describing) party(noun)."

.............................

People who think it is okay to say things such as "They are members of the Democrat(noun) party(noun)" must also think that it is okay to say something like "This is not a very function(noun) statement(noun)" rather than "This is not a very functional(adjective) statement(noun)".
