Poll question: Which do you like best?
I think we need a hard-hitting and/or ugly-sounding word for right-winger. The words we have --- right-winger, rightie, neocon -- just don't pack the punch that words like Fascist and Nazi do. So, from this thread --

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=2401545&mesg_id=2401545

-- came several. In the poll, I put the ones that I think sound mean, but somehow legitimate, and not humorous (such as Asshat), too generic (such as carpetbagger), or too obvious (such as Brown Shirt).

I would love a good hard-hitting word because whenever I type right-winger it annoys me that it has soft sounds, incorporates the word "right," and has the rather nice sounding "winger."

Do you agree that we need a word with the bite of Nazi or Fascist?

1. I said cons cuz that's what they do & that's what they will be.
For some reason Klinks sounds like StarTrek to me. ;)

2. I use the term "conman" to describe my repuke representative
mainly because I think the repukes are giving everyone a con job....and I hope that many of them ARE cons (as in convicts) really soon.
