Don’t assume that I’m taking sides; it’s just that there are others who are watching.

I tend to agree with both of you provided that one recognizes that there exist both neutral labels and also pejorative labels.

Some people use the term "birther" as a neutral label and some as a pejorative, depending on their point of view. The same is true with the term "freeper."

On the other hand, the political term "teabagger" has been used recently only as a pejorative.
