“Even ascendant Dems wary of ‘liberal’ label “
Of course.
That’s part of their plan to FAKE their way into possession of The White
House, Senate and House.
By pretending to be sane, resonable human beings until the Wed
after the Nov. 2008 election.
Actually I’m pleased with Hillary calling herself a “progressive”.
Even O’Reilly slams “secular progressives” on his show; hence her
choice of label wasn’t the swiftest move HILLARY! has made.
What you’re seeing is that the label always comes to be understood in terms of what it is applied to.
If you called a can of beets “banana peels”, it would soon be understood that “banana peels” refers to beets. One real example I can think of is “mincemeat” (apples).
My way of describing the who “relabeling” of the left is:
A can of brutal, authoritarian communism,
wrapped in a label of democratic socialism,
wrapped in a label of liberalism,
wrapped in a label of progressivism.
Same can of crap, and everyone understands it.
