One Syllable of Civility - Ruth Marcus (nails Bush on "Democrat" Party)
One Syllable of Civility

By Ruth Marcus
Wednesday, November 22, 2006; Page A21

If he wanted to, President Bush could change the tone in Washington with a single syllable: He could just say "ic." That is, he could stop referring to the opposition as the "Democrat Party" and call the other side, as it prefers, the Democratic Party.


More.....

Finally this sophomoric little rhetorical trick by Bush is getting some attention - and Marcus points out that this little partisan jab was a staple of Joe McCarthy.

2. Now, can a prominent Democrat kick this further into the MSM

This slur is perfect example of who is framing what?

fyi - The New Yorker in the Comments section remarked on this issue several weeks ago. Sorry no link
