You've helped create a word to demean a group people that you disagree with.

You must be so proud.

After all, if you can't change a person's mind on something, it's perfectly OK to treat them as a cartoonish, stereotypical group that are less than human, right?

There's a long and "honored" history of people doing that, based on gender, race, sexual preference, nationality, religious preference.

I just never thought I'd see similar behavior celebrated on DU.

It bespeaks so much about your Progressive values.

But the good news is, in the end, the people being demeaned and stereotyped were the ones that came out the winners. And it's happening again on this.
