Chris Matthews doesn’t want the Democrat Party to be called the Democrat Party

Chris Matthews is a very sensitive man. He cares about the feelings of others. Especially when the others are Democrats.

In the middle of Thursday night’s Hardball program, Matthews interrupted California Congressman Darrell Issa’s comments on the administration’s massive budget deficit to complain that Issa had referred to the opposition as “the Democrat Party.”

“I think the Democratic Party calls itself the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party,” Matthews raged. “Do we have to do this every night? Why do people talk like this? Is this just fighting words? They call themselves the Democratic Party. Let’s just call people what they call themselves and stop the Mickey Mouse here. Save that for the stump.”

Based on that faulty logic, if Matthews were discussing rap music, he would refer to African-Americans as “niggas” like so many rap artists do. That would be, as Matthews requested, just calling people what they call themselves.

Matthews might want to re-think this concept.

Fine! We’ll call it the Communist Party. That should make Chrissy’s leg tingle.

Hey Chrissy, check this out...

DemocRAT party, DemocRAT party, DemocRAT party, DemocRAT party, etc..

Chrissy, does that last sentence give you tingly feelings down your leg, or are you just happy to see 0bama in your wet dreams?

Makes sense to me. Who would want their party named after a famous breed of rat, the well known Democ Rat.

Democrat = RAT!...OK?

I guess I don’t get the deal with this. Rush goes out of his way these days to say Democrat rather than Democratic. Why exactly is Democrat somehow disparaging?

Issa must have been scoring points so Chrissie had that rejoinder ready to step in and break the flow.

Hey Chrissy,

Are you a Democrat or a Democratic?

If the former, then Democrat party is just as valid a term as Democratic.

Although “statist”, “communist” or “socialist”, is more accurate than either.

Is Crissy mad because the “sissy fairy’s” have already been taken?

Communist Party or Satan's Party works fine with me...
Feel free to chuck the name "Democrat" and call them what they really are...

“My mother’s mother, Grandma Loy, came from downstate Illinois....Grandma thought the Democrats were, like drought and wheat rot, an inexplicable evil of nature that America had done nothing to warrant....And she wouldn’t even speak the word ‘Democrats’ if there were children in the room. She’d say ‘bastards’ instead.”

—P. J. O’Rourke, from the introduction to “Republican Party Reptile”

Democrat is a noun, democratic is an adjective.

They are NOT the Democratic Party.

Since it is now dominated by a big wheel in the Daley Chicago Machine, I think the Thugocrat-Marxist Alliance is more accurate.

Of course Crissy’s party can have the label “Loyalists” back...since the left always to side with everyone else against America. In my opinion, “once a coward, always a coward.”

Let's just call a spade a spade and name them what they are: The Looters!
