I was about to link to Hilzoy’s quite appropriate response, but Dave S. beat me to it.

Poopyheads.

There. I said it.

Hilzoy has a very appropriate response on Obsidian Wings.

If
D=Democrat Socialist Party
then
GOP=National Socialist Party, (or Going Out Praying…)

Next strategy.

As long as the Republicans are re-branded Republican Nazi/Fascist Party, to keep with truth in packaging policy. Here come the briar patch, here come the patch (shades of laugh-in).

I think they should go ahead with their brilliant plan, of name calling the Democrats the “Democrat Socialist Party”. These clowns have such low credibility that it would only add to the rehabilitation of/interest in the word “socialist” that is already underway. Bring it on! Please don’t throw me in the briar patch!

Name calling itself seems to be on the way out (sure to make its way back in) but also, didn’t the negative ads in the recent prez election seem to fall on deaf ears for most of the electorate. I saw a graph that showed that almost as many people got their voting info. from the internet as from TV. Newspapers were a distant, distant third. I think it’s more difficult to propagandize with written text than TeeVee, maybe this plays into it.

Since when does “socialism” = “communism”?

On the Right. Of course, on the Right, “fascism” also = “communism.”

I move that we rename the GOP, “The Torture Party.”

And when that doesn’t work, they’re going to pass another resolution rebranding the Democrat Socialist Party as the Evil Evil Democrat Satanist Liberal Evil Gay Homosexual Godless Evil Atheist Not Ronald Reagan Party. That’ll show ‘em!
