Bush supporters used to use it too, 'Saddam lover', Jihad supporter, etc etc. They just keep recycling the same old talking points and the Old Cold Warriors are simply saving money by resurrecting the McCarthy era talking points. Conserving their allotted propaganda budget, I suppose. They so want to live in a Cold Era again, it was so profitable and the WOT is losing steam, so back to an old enemy. They have to have an enemy to keep the war profits flowing.
The reason people are 'tired' of them is they are so childish. I often wonder how much they pay for this ineffective garbage. Don't we at least have some people involved in this propaganda stuff who are INTELLIGENT.
Ignore them or have fun with them, or use them to help determine who is a supporter of the Security State. But since they do nothing to advance THEIR cause they are, for the most part, harmless, just a temper tamper when anyone points out wrong doing by the USG.
