“Liberal” isn’t the slur it used to be.
The Republican Party tried to defeat Democrats in 2008 by painting them as liberals. A prime example is BoulderLiberalMarkUdall.com, which continues to linger online at this writing. But while this tactic has proven effective in recent decades, it didn’t work this time around — a fact acknowledged by numerous experts quizzed in the Denver Post article “‘Liberal’ Label Loses Political Punch in Wake of GOP Losses.” Unfortunately, these interview-subjects didn’t come up with any other terms that might prove more effective, and a lot of the usual substitutes, like “socialist,” don’t show much promise. So here’s ten fresh insults to aim at Dems that won’t leave that old “liberal” aftertaste:
10. Welfairy.
9. Bin-Lovin’.
8. Tax-adermist.
7. Phlegm-o-crat.
6. Left-over.
5. Porker.
4. Apple Pie Hater.
3. Obamanation.
2. Flag-ellator.
1. Jackass-a-nape. — Michael Roberts
