Vitriol: the latest liberal talking point big word!
vit·ri·ol/ˈvitrēəl/Noun 1. Sulfuric acid. 2. Cruel and bitter criticism.
You can always tell what the useful idiots been told to say and what to write.

That pretty much describes what the left is doing.
IMO, the word “vitriol” lacks gravitas.
I wonder if Jared Loughner would approve of vitriol usage?

Wow...to new lefty words in a month...vitriol and kerfuffle...or however you spell the stupid word...
Vitriol is the new “racism.”
These people are shameless.
Vitriol may lack gravitas but it does have schadenfreude. We know this because that great marxist linguist Noam Chomsky told us it is so.
You can always tell when the left thinks they are losing. They call calm, conciliation, compromise, etc.
They call *for* calm, conciliation, compromise, etc.
Talking points - liberals lost the ability to think for themselves years ago...
Great graphic!
Vitriol is the Demonrat party’s flavor-of-the-month. February will bring another word to harp on until we’re tired of hearing it.
Vitriol sounds like pecker medicine. Just sayin’...
Kerfuffle is not a liberal word. James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal used it for a few years in referring to the “Plame Kerfuffle.”
John Edwards, as far as I can tell, was correct about one thing and one thing only. There are two Americas.
This nightmare in Arizona and the reaction to it is only hardening those lines of division.
It’s a dangerous game the left has decided to play (no, Mr. FBI, that is not a threat) because it only feeds the fear of countless citizens that elected officals and the fourth estate cannot be trusted.
Thanks, CW.
