Of all the things I’ve read by The New Yorker‘s Hendrik Hertzberg, easily his most influential was a Talk of the Town piece from 2006 called “The ‘ic’ Factor” where he rips apart misuse of the word Democrat to describe things that are, in fact, Democratic by Republicans and lazy or misguided journalists.
For instance, Barack Obama is a Democrat, but he is also the Democratic president who was democratically elected by the American people.
The Washington state House of Representatives is mostly full of Democrats who make up a Democratic majority.
The word Democratic, as Hertzberg explains, is an adjective, and when Republicans use the noun Democrat in lieu of the adjective, it is a slur of sorts.
It is also just plain ignorant.
Now, with my my humble Stadium High School eduction and Wesleyan government degree, I am hardly a walking AP Style Guide, but I have sense enough to properly use the word Democratic when referring to the party that had the right mixture of substance and style to deter George W. Bush from its ranks.
With that said, I’ll be taking it upon myself to call out journalists who make the “ic” flub in the name of public notice. I invite HA readers to do the same.
Our inaugural offender is a wise and talented fellow Stadium grad, the Tacoma News-Tribune‘s Peter Callaghan who today referred to the “Democrat” majority on the King County Council.
Get it right, Pete.
Who’s next? Hopefully no one.

My retirement will be adversely affected by Obama and his policies with hyper-inflation.
And this is a problem of the Democrats and BTB that is not a slur on Democrats or Obama but a pure statement of fact as Obama heads down the wrong road.

Only a thin-skinned democrat from the democrat party would squeal over the intentional omission of the “ic” from the party designation by others up to and including journalists. The joke continues to be on you as long as you feel slighted by two little letters in the alphabet.
Besides, the makeup of todays hard core wing (like the imbeciles here at HA) of the

YellowPup spews:
The use of “Democrat” as an adjective is just a kind of sophomoric handshake among Republicans, an inside joke as ideological calling card (like wearing a flag lapel pin). If challenged on it, Republicans apologize for the “mistake,” and their “aw-shucks” lack of refinement.
Apparently we all graduated from middle school long ago, but our Republican friends seem to have got a social promotion.

@18 – So how many ounces of gold do you own?
And buying gold every month vs paying off my house and all my other debts was not a hard decision but not retiring in the face of possible inflation rates over 10% is not a hard decision but I may go ahead and do so just to share the benefits with Roger before the United States goes under and Roger loses his retirement payments
Troll spews:
Does anyone here see a difference in comments from people like YLB, BendOver, and Roger Rabbit since Obama has been elected? Seems like the same old crap they spewed when Bush was in office. Maybe they aren’t really political. Maybe they aren’t even Democrats. Maybe they are just people who like to constantly bash, complain, and argue.
Proud To Be An Ass spews:
@17: If you had bought an ounce of gold every month since about 1970, you would now own about 456 oz. (average price approx. $350/oz.)worth about $413,000 at today’s close. I’d wager that if you ran the numbers, the rate of return would not be that impressive on the over $100,000 invested over nearly 40 years.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. Hmmm… Wasn’t this discussed here on HA?
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. Didn’t Leadless Douchy (Harry Poon lately) espouse this last fall? Repuklikans are the rebels…

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. Yep shut up Rush Limbaugh and implement the Fairness Doctrine…
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. Green and union activity…
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. Yes, this was recently screamed by the libtard progressives.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. Yep

I think it says a lot about the mentality of people like Ricky D. that they cannot even call their opposition by the correct name. It says that the republicans who use the wrong words are either:
1. too dumb to know the difference.
2. supportive of other republicans who are too stupid
3. deliberately provocative, because they have no real substance to talk about.
In the case of ricky d. – we run circles around him because all he has are opinions without any facts to back up the opinions.
As far as troll is concerned, troll like to think she is more clever than she actually is. Troll can come up with a few examples occasionally – but a coherent argument is beyond the scope of troll.
A bit of info for troll, a few counter examples really doesn’t make a coherent argument.
If you are tying to make the republican case you need to deal with the salient facts:
Bush caused the largest deficit in history (since Reagan)
Clinton left a growing surplus when he left office.
Bush left an economy that is in the worst shape (Jobs, Stock Market, GDP0 since the great depression.
Obama won election by the widest vote margin by a non-incumbent in history.
Republican have turned into a party that obstructs, that bleats on about priciples THEY violated (like a balanced budget) and that lies. For instance, the republicans lied about the stimulus package not going to be spent in time. The CBO report says that 80% of the Senate plan will be spent within 18 months.
Republicans also have no moral high ground to stand on after supporting an unecessary war, hundreds of thousands of deaths, illegal torture, illegal wiretapping, incompetence (Katrina) and abuse of government/corruption (Gonzalez, Abramoff, the FDA, EPA Agriculture and so on).

98 – Hello? Hello? Anyone home? Or is the noise from the ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) too loud?
35 is BULLSHIT! And I don’t take orders from a deranged psychopath!
ByeByeGOP spews:
Given the utter failure of the right wing traitors to stop Holder or the financial package in the House shows AGAIN AND AGAIN how impotent the right really is. Which is why Puffybutt is a right winger.
Puddybud, Hey it's the New Year... spews:
ODS.
Not hardly rerun@99. You can’t stand the heat being on your side now. I will continue to point out the hypocrisy of the Democratics. The Democratics are in the pot now. You own it all. Just like the 60s and 70s.
Remember Broadway Joe told us all you won. Your brother BentoverSuckingHisDick told us the same.
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
YLB spews:
Bring it on fool. You’ve been losing the last 4 years and you will continue to lose no matter what happens.
Your derangements have yielded you nothing save some idle entertainment.

@Ricky D. Moron
Little Ricky D. is getting peeved – so sorry we have to keep making a fool of you. In fact, you do it yourself so easily.
Once again Ricky D. offers only false facts:
Stimulus package: 75% agree with the senate version.
Oops, republicans are the 20% squeaky, whiny minority of rejected fools and abysmal idiots.
Marvin Stamn spews:
Dixiecrats = democrats, liberal = progressive…
You can change your name all you want, doesn’t change who you are.
But I don’t blame anyone left of center for hoping to fool people with a new name. Hell, even the racist headless lucy posted under a new name hoping to fool people and the little kid bye bye goober used a different name hoping to fool people.
Typical.
YLB spews:
104 – Hmmm. The “Dixiecrats”, as you called them, nominated an African-American to be President – and he won. That must have so much sucked for you. In fact you’ve come back today to more or less say the same things you did in the weeks before Obama was elected.
Yes, many liberals like to call themselves progressive because unlike conservatives we’re for things moving forward into the future, things that make sense for these time like universal healthcare, better education, a healthier environment and reproductive choice. Conservatives think the good old days were the tail end of the 19th century and they very much want to go back to those days. They are scared to death of the future and hate anything and anyone who embraces a better future for everyone not just their own narrow interests. So very typical for them.
Rick D. spews:
Incorrectandinfantile @ 103~ I’ve already embarrassed your stupid ass at SP, so your scurry away to Goldy’s hate site for cover? Or is it because you missed your boyfriend/sex offender YLB and his pervert eye?
Just as I suspected….you’re a lying sack of goat scrotum.
YLB spews:
106 – and you’re an even bigger moron than Stupes which is almost impossible to believe – but not by much.
As for sex offenders, your party is lousy with them:

They are your heroes. Your brothers in crime.
JCH takes the cake for the biggest right wing moron of all though. What a nutcase he was!
Broadway Joe spews:
Yep, we won.
Yep, we’ll fix the mess Puddy and his master left for us.
Yep, it’ll be difficult, cleaning up generations of neglect and abuse.
Yep, we’ll get all the credit for fixing America.
Yep, we’ll pick up a few more seats in the mid-terms, and shut out the forces of Republican Evil for good.
Yep, Obama will be re-elected in 2012, and the only real wild-card will be whether or not the right-wing haters rally together under a third party of hatred under their goddess Palin.
Yep, nothing right-of-center will ever hold meaningful federal office ever again.
Yep, Puddy and his master will turn to violence to try to regain their power.
Yep, it’ll be funny to watch these weekend warriors get rounded up and thrown in SuperMax.
We won. Fuck you. Go die now…….. no wait, don’t. I want to enjoy watching you suffer.
correctnotright spews:
@106 When little rciky gets his butt kciked as usual – he resorts to name calling. When you get an intellect and a brain – come back here. Until then, you are not even competeition. At least Puddy puts up some modest resistance and then changes the topic when losing.
You, baby ricky, on the other hand, I just laugh at your pathetic ignorance. It is like dealing with a third grader – with an ego the size of Montana. You don’t even know what a fool you actually are.
