New Rethug Talking Point, calling Liberals "Secular Progressives"

[stop the bleeding]

Stephanie Miller has highlighted this comment from a couple of Faux news programs from yesterday. She also just had a caller say the same thing that this seems to be a new term to make us look even worse.

I guess people figured out that Liberal is not a bad word - see founding fathers for reference, but "Secular Progressives" sounds more like hey they are not on our side ect..

What is everyone's take on this?

1. Don't let them make it a bad word.

Nothing wrong with secular progressive...better than a Rapturist right wingnut theocratic neocon.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

4. "Rapturist right wingnut theocratic neocon"

you for got to add "freak" to that.

Cuz, after all, they *are* freaks.

[Kansas Wyatt]

6. Better than a 'Regressive Rapturist'

To be more accurate. Sounds like they are flirting with the idea of turning the word "progressive" into a dirty demon, like they did with "liberal," in all of their parroted gas.

2. Most liberals are people of faith

Of course, the Rethuglycans define "secular" to mean, "Anyone who does not wholeheartedly agree that we must be governed exclusively by extremely conservative, rigidly literal and fanatically held Christian beliefs, as taught by MY church, not yours."

3. I would proudly wear that banner

and if it bothers "them", so much the better.

[melissinha]

5. finally using the right label

no more "them liburuls"

we are for secular progressive government. right on target.

[rucky]

7. the opposite being "Theocratic Regressives"?

ok, I'll take that label.

[JHB]

8. It's a new way to paint halos on their heads.

The goal is to associate religion with themselves, and only themselves.

9. Weren't they pulling for the "Secular Progressives" in Iraq?

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

10. Game. Set. Match. GREAT point!!!!

:applause:

[linazelle]

11. The good thing is their "base" doesnt even know what that means

They can hardly spell. I'm SerIEs!!!

:rofl:

[zbdent]

12. and the righties are "seclusionist regressives" . . .

[ourbluenation]

13. Every single elected democrat is a person of faith.

It's a fact. Jack. Call then on there bs

[Strawman]

14. I think Jesus would want them to just do their jobs and govern better

Imagine if someone at your work who sucked at their job tried to distract attention from their poor performance everytime he or she screwed up by attacking the religious affiliation of their competent colleagues. That sure wouldn't fly pretty much anywhere. It's completely absurd and anyone in their right mind would think that person was taking them for a complete idiot.
