On MTP....Dumbass Mick Mulvaney says......Democrat Party......

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Anyone who calls the party opposite of them "The Democrat Party" are vile in my opinion. It has been the Democratic Party.

Republicans would be up in arms were they referred to as The Repub Party, because they care not one lick for the Republic for which we stand for.

What say you?

1. They've been pulling this shit for years. True mark of a dumbass, yes, but they do it because...

2. i use it as a tell

3. It's disrespectful and makes them feel good to call us that.

I hate it, too. I'd be tempted to call them the "RepubLick" party.

4. Pretty small potatoes to me

They call us a whole lot worse than that.

I don’t like it but what are you going to do about it? Let’s just get them out of office and they can call us whatever they want and we can point and laugh.

6. I hear it being used more and more, even by the press and uncorrected, which in my mind

is another example of who/what is actually trying to grease the wheels of the world. It's a "nom de jour" using 2nd grade technique for a 2nd grade frame. They so clever.

8. Bush used it in his State of the Union

Bush used it in his State of the Union

Was challenged by reporter about it and he did the Texan “oh gosh I didn’t know”

10. Mulvaney could call Democrats shitheaded douchebags, and Chuckie Todd wouldn't do anything. (nt)

[malaise]

12. It is meant to demean - it is the equivalent of calling a big man boy

it has one meaning - you are inferior to me - I can call you what I want.
The sooner Democratic leaders put an end to this shit, the better.
The fucking media bosses have a duty to tell their hacks to stop it and anyone who says it must be corrected. Bet if the Democratic Party paid them with checks marked Democrat when the account had Democratic, they would put an end to this absolute fuckery!

13. DemocRAT Party

I first saw that in the early days of online forums and suspect it took off from there. That's probably what many of them are thinking when they use it that way--even on the floor of the U.S. House. There is probably a case for "breach of decorum" due to pejorative usage; I don't know why it hasn't been tested.

I would probably inform them that the word "Democrat" is not an adjective, and if they had passed elementary school English they would know that and wouldn't continue openly demonstrating their ignorance by using it improperly as an adjective.

14. I had to correct a responder on Facebook about that.....

That Democrat is NOT an adjective, but an object when used in a sentence. That Democratic Party was the correct term. And that using it as an adjective is demeaning.No response yet from the person I had to correct.
