A day later, right-wing activist Alan Hostetter, a staunch Trump supporter known for railing against California’s virus-inspired stay-at-home orders, urged rallygoers in Washington to “put the fear of God in the cowards, the traitors, the RINOs, the communists of the Democrat Party.” To those who see the discussion as an exercise in political correctness, Susan Benesch, executive director of the Dangerous Speech Project, said to look deeper.“It’s just two little letters — i and c — added to the end of a word, right?” she said. “But the small difference in the two terms, linguistically or grammatically, does not protect against a large difference in meaning and impact of the language.
“You know I always say Democrat. You know why? Because it sounds worse,” Trump said. “Democrat sounds lousy, but you know what? That’s actually their name, the Democrat Party. Right? The Democrat Party. So I always say Democrat.” Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who had just led his notorious campaign against alleged communists, Soviet spies and sympathizers, was the most notable user of the phrase “Democrat Party” ahead of the vote. The current RNC did not respond to emails and phone messages seeking comment for this story.
Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor said she wishes both parties would abandon their heightened rhetoric toward each other. She spoke out forcefully in September after the Ohio Republican Party maligned a “Democrat common pleas judge” who had ruled against them. The party later apologized.
Then-President George W. Bush departed from his written remarks and used the phrase “Democrat majority” in his 2007 State of the Union address. He was swiftly rebuked and apologized.

jcarrsmyth Sounds like y'all touched a nerve there, . Let 'em call us what they want. They still lost Georgia. First a President and then two Senators. I bet that hurts worse than any name-calling.
jcarrsmyth Oh my gosh! You folks are awfully touchy these days. I was born in the 50's and people ALWAYS called it the democrat party. Complaining about something like that is infantile!
jcarrsmyth No, morons, it's because 'democratic' is an adjective, and we don't think applies all that well to the party.
jcarrsmyth
BruceFo43322941 jcarrsmyth The proper way to say it is Satanic Pedophile party, not Democrat.
jcarrsmyth They should be called the Communist/Socialist/Fascist Party
jcarrsmyth Really? REALLY?! They call themselves TheDemocrats not The Democratics. Which intern wrote this excrement? 💩
jcarrsmyth Not sure what's more stupid. The article or smoothbrains acting offended in the replies. And please, Keep the boomer jokes to yourself.
jcarrsmyth How is this even news?
jcarrsmyth Democrat Party. --- There, now cry me a river
jcarrsmyth How...newsy.
jcarrsmyth Does this mean we can call them Facists? FacistParty
jcarrsmyth I guess the Crooked Politicians And Communists PAC just isn't cutting the mustard for donny he needs a truly sound pro-communist domestic terrorist loving traitor base to make him happy and looking at the wimps at CPAC this year not surprising. Looked more like hookers & drunks
jcarrsmyth I’m just going to call them the QAnon party from now on.
froomkin jcarrsmyth Does that mean we get to call them Repugs?
jcarrsmyth We’ll just call the Dems what they are. The Communist Party.
jcarrsmyth It's almost like calling all Republicans Q's or Trumplican.
jcarrsmyth Associated Press gets triggered by TheDemocrats
jcarrsmyth New organizations can help by quoting them directly and adding the (sic) whenever they say it.
jcarrsmyth Why should they be considered democratic if they are not interested in a two party system
jcarrsmyth Interesting!
jcarrsmyth Yeah, those “democratic” politicians are something!
jcarrsmyth legacymedia is obsolete
jcarrsmyth The AP is part of the propaganda machine of the DNC.
jcarrsmyth Just remember it's the QOP GQP that are the traitors.
airbagmoments jcarrsmyth 'on the rise' among dumb fucks and nazis, because every Repube party member is a nazi, every last one what a stupid headline
jcarrsmyth GET EVEN Respond to 'Democrat Party' with 'Republican't Party.'
jcarrsmyth Democratican? Is that it?
jcarrsmyth You’re just getting to this now?
jcarrsmyth I just stick with “leftist” or “moron”. Like this article. It’s “moronic”, but it’s also written by and cheered on by “morons”. “Moron Party” has a nice ring to it.
jcarrsmyth Name calling between the blues and the reds? 🙄🙄
jcarrsmyth 'Repub' party actually has a nice ring to it, and would have a reciprocal effect. It should be used in all public statements and interviews RepubParty Repubs Repub
jcarrsmyth 'Repub' party actually has a nice ring to it, and would have a reciprocal effect. It should be used in all public statements and interviews RepubParty Repubs
jcarrsmyth Lol.
jcarrsmyth God y’all are so fucking soft jailthejournos
jcarrsmyth It can be traced back further than that. It’s the same tactic military has used for thousands of years to dehumanize your enemy thus making any actions that most would consider inhumane acceptable because they’re not humans. & the sheep fall for it
jcarrsmyth You mean Republicon don’t you?
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth It may just be an honest mispronunciation... Like when I accidentally pronounce the Republican Party as Nazi Party.
jcarrsmyth Just wait til they hear what everyone’s been calling them
jcarrsmyth But the website is even 👀
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth I mean they rigged the primary for Biden sooooo maybe it’s not just the Repubs doin it
Patbagley jcarrsmyth Members of the Publican Party do that?
jcarrsmyth Why is this running when they donf control a branch of government 😂😂😂
froomkin jcarrsmyth It's why I call them Repiglicans. When they get my party's name right, I'll reciprocate. Not before.
jcarrsmyth I prefer Demoncrats
jcarrsmyth Way to focus on the important stuff, team.
jcarrsmyth Sounds like a hot garbage explanation. They call themselves Democrats.
froomkin jcarrsmyth Ds' need to insist they say it correctly EVERY time there is a discussion. First step to unity? Say our name correctly.
froomkin jcarrsmyth It’s infuriating, but it’s really the least fascist thing they are doing
jcarrsmyth I see Democrats doing it now, too. 🙄
jcarrsmyth Truth....it’s a little thing but they all do it. McCarthy? I’m not surprised at that. June 1, 1950 ~ I don't want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the four horsemen of calumny—fear, ignorance, bigotry, and smear. Sen. Margaret Chase Smith
daveweigel jcarrsmyth I think we should respond by calling them the repugnant party.
Patbagley jcarrsmyth Now commen place? You're a couple decades behind. WTF happened to American journalism?
froomkin jcarrsmyth They need to EARN that 'ic' by finally pulling the Flush Handle on their beloved debates scam. It's pathetic that an uncompensated Florida Man's meme does superior journalism on said scam to the entire overcompensated MSM *combined*. JournalismIsDead
jcarrsmyth How about we start calling them 'Republican'ts'
froomkin jcarrsmyth if by ``now'' you mean since the Reagan Era.
jcarrsmyth McCarthy was originally a Democrat.
jcarrsmyth I believe if you research the use of the word Democrat as an adjective you find find it is nothing more than an awkward translation from Russian. This proves the collusion allegations against Trump. I think he should be impeached a third time. It will sell more papers.
jcarrsmyth Anyone who sincerely cares about this is a huge dork
GabyDore jcarrsmyth This is Trolling 101, of the same order as pretending you've never met someone you've been introduced to multiple times. Kindergarten bullshit.
jcarrsmyth Active Republican and have never heard this, find it far fetched.
jcarrsmyth Ah yes. My friends are a bunch of Democratics. The democratics are holding a meeting . 🙄
jcarrsmyth when people say “Democrat party” you know EXACTLY what dinner with them would be like.
jcarrsmyth “Journalism”
jcarrsmyth The AP is such a joke. My goodness.
jcarrsmyth McCarthy wasn't wrong tho.
jcarrsmyth Dems should call it the Republic party from now on.
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth After watching what y'all did to Bernie Sanders in your primary process twice in a row you ought to change your own name to Democrat Party as that systemic behavior was far, far from democratic.
jcarrsmyth Whatever. F O
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth This is more ignorant than being upset about the mr potato head.
jcarrsmyth Boy, that jab really dates Trump. He lives in his own bygone era, doesn’t he?
jcarrsmyth I expect this kind of story from Vox or even MSNBC or WaPo, but not the AP
jcarrsmyth Communist party.
jcarrsmyth So calling democrats, democrats is a slur now 🤔
jcarrsmyth Yo...fake news from the yet again. That’s what they call themselves! KassyDillon jamie2181 morganisawizard shoe0nhead Bubola ReggieBush
jcarrsmyth Makes sense that the ic would be dropped from the Democrat Party. Marxism is an anti-democratic ideology. It enslaves the people to the state. It would be appropriate if they would just change their name to the Marxist or the Slavery party.
jcarrsmyth Rs use ‘Democrat’ for TWO reasons: as a SLUR to dehumanize ppl & because ‘democratic’ is too close to DEMOCRACY, which Dems believe in, but R’s do NOT. Rs attack democracy often. The fascist white supremacist R party sees democracy & dems as their roadblock to absolute power.
TeresaMWalker jcarrsmyth Obnoxious and disrespectful
jcarrsmyth And far too much usage by folks who should know better, succumbing to the incessant right wing nonsense. BBCNews does this Way Too Much.
jcarrsmyth You keep carrying water for democraps. You don't even pretend now.
jcarrsmyth I had no idea this was a thing. I’ve been doing it for years. “Because there’s nothing democratic about what they did to Bernie” was what I told my progressive friends.
jcarrsmyth Republicants really are special snowflakes
jcarrsmyth That one word can let you know up front that the new person you've just met won't be speaking in good faith. I had no idea it started that long ago.
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth Bush and Limbaugh brought it back into vogue
jcarrsmyth Its a strategy?
jcarrsmyth Republicans 'shoved' that name?
jcarrsmyth
stuartenyt jcarrsmyth Maybe it was a strategy once. I bet a lot of people just don’t notice there is a difference. IdiocracyTheMovie
jcarrsmyth Misstating is in both parties’ toolchest. The Dems have etched their name into the handle, however. That’s why I say “Eff em both.” Two sides of the same worthless coin.
jcarrsmyth It’s cool. The Republitard Party can say what they want.
jcarrsmyth Same with Rethuglicans, but it’s from the GWB era.
jcarrsmyth Democrat Party v NotSureWhat Party
jcarrsmyth Who gives a shit Does AP seriously think this is news, or important Lame Sophomoric
jcarrsmyth I prefer calling DNC the Communist party
jcarrsmyth It’s grammatically correct. ‘Democratic’ is an adjective, not a noun. ‘Republican’ is a noun. No Democrats go around calling themselves ‘Democratics’. And why are Democrats so angry and ashamed to be called Democrats? Is it the ‘rat’ at the end of the word? I think it fits. 👍
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth Democrats really hate that
This is such loser shit. Is it supposed to be upsetting? Who cares, close enough.
jcarrsmyth The Democratic Party is made up of Democrats. AP spin is “traced back to McCarthyism”.
jcarrsmyth The truncated “Democrat,” on the other hand, “rhymes with rat, bureaucrat, kleptocrat, plutocrat,” Cornfield said. ”‘Crats’ are bad. So you can see why they do it.” Rethuglican, Repugnican, CONservative, Dump, tRump. You can make fun of any name. Get over it and grow up.

jcarrsmyth Bolsheviks and socialists masquerading as the 'Democratic Party' is what you really meant to say. Hell, if it gets Dems panties in a wad, then DEMOCRAT PARTY! 🖕😃🖕
jcarrsmyth Another useless press story. Must be slow now that Trump is gone.
jcarrsmyth 'strategy'
jcarrsmyth Call them back 'Cons'
jcarrsmyth An old trick Banana Republicans have been using for almost a century.
jcarrsmyth In other news Cancel Culture is just a politically correct Hollywood blacklist reprising the days of McCarthy
msonemic jcarrsmyth When they stop doing that, the country will know that they’re sane. Until then...
jcarrsmyth I have concerns about Publickens.
jcarrsmyth Lmao
jcarrsmyth Better than being a member of the Blood Party( GOP, Republican). I mean it is called the RED party for a reason.
jcarrsmyth Really? This is the garbage the is running? Ever hear of Sticks & Stones? Develop a thicker skin.
jcarrsmyth Here in MS, some Republucan politicians even labeled the old state flag with the Confederate Battle Flag on it as the 'Democrat Battle Flag'.
daveweigel jcarrsmyth It's a great asshole meter though. People get to choose how they wish to be identified. Disrespecting someone's Name or Identity is an aggression that asshole abuser types routinely engage in.
jcarrsmyth Jesus and baby Jesus what will we do.m! They are democrats and that’s the way it is. Might as well cal it the poop party
jcarrsmyth I've never understood: REAL democrats wouldn't HAVE a REPRESENTATIVE in Congress! Wouldn't we all decide * every issue * as a consensus of the entire population. Since we are a republic, neither party name makes sense. RealSaavedra
jcarrsmyth Ah, AP with the hard hitting news
jcarrsmyth Democrat party:
jcarrsmyth The Qpublican Party.
jcarrsmyth It’s not shocking that some Democrats don’t understand the distinction between a system of government and a political party. But the AP should.
jcarrsmyth Is this because of the CPAC? You and TMZ making some leaps today.
jcarrsmyth The AP is being paid by the Democrat Party I see.
jcarrsmyth Slow news day?
jcarrsmyth I'm not going to lose any sleep over this.
jcarrsmyth How about RepubliCUNT party? It is now a totally Crazy, Unhinged, Nonsensical, Toxic cult of Trump worahippers.
jcarrsmyth Ha! Idiots! “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” Will Rogers
jcarrsmyth Eh, who cares? Republicans can keep their name calling up all they want, meanwhile they’ll continue to be locked out of power for the foreseeable future.
jcarrsmyth Thank you for this. It’s annoying and obviously deliberate.
stuartenyt jcarrsmyth If that’s how the RepubliCONS want to play...
jcarrsmyth This sound very un-AP-like. Stick to real news. This ain’t it.
jcarrsmyth The McCarthy era? Was that when the “Democratic” Party was in favour of segregation, Jim Crow laws, and violently preventing people of the “wrong” race from registering to vote?
jcarrsmyth 🤷♂️
jcarrsmyth As long as they lose elections, it’s ok with me.
jcarrsmyth True enough. At the rate they are going they should be called the Social-Democrat Party.
jcarrsmyth Whats the Republic parties strategy here
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth Let’s honor their commitment Christian values and remove the “RE” from the beginning of their party name and call them Publicans (A NT term meaning ‘tax collector’ - as despised as the Pharisees).
jcarrsmyth No Democrat calls themselves a Democratic.
jcarrsmyth Democrats is a commonly used term by all sides and all media. This is making something out of nothing.
jcarrsmyth Well, we should stop calling the radical right-wing party in this country 'conservatives' for a start. There's nothing especially conservative about their policies.
jcarrsmyth Trump/Cohn/McCarthy
jcarrsmyth Eugene McCarthy, Democrat Senator.
jcarrsmyth Correct usage is “Democraticals”
jcarrsmyth “Are you a Democrat?” “that’s a McCarthyite slur!”
jcarrsmyth I purposely say “Democrat” Party because it annoys them so much.
jcarrsmyth Should be a huge news day analyzing the garbage bill that got voted on last night but oh no, can't report something that actually matters to the people.
jcarrsmyth did you even remotely think this through before you vomited it out in the interwebs?
jcarrsmyth Julie, I hope you didn't pull a muscle with this stretch.
jcarrsmyth That's okay, we Democrats often refer the GOP as the Nazi Party.
jcarrsmyth Members of the democrat party refer to themselves as “democrats”. Not “democratics”. So why can’t we refer to the party of democrats as the “democrat party”? Makes perfect sense to me.
jcarrsmyth Agree, Demonrats is better
jcarrsmyth This is the best 'news' you could come up with?
jcarrsmyth They used to be known as the KKK. Not sure what the problem is.
daveweigel jcarrsmyth Low key ridiculous they spend all these words talking about the word Democrat & why it is used & can’t mention at all how in some communities “Democrat” is a coded way of saying black or the n word... have had people use it this way around me many times in Midwest and online
jcarrsmyth Well there’s nothing Democratic about them, so...
jcarrsmyth It’s a vivid display of their small mindedness.
jcarrsmyth Demonrat party
jcarrsmyth Like this?
daveweigel jcarrsmyth Meh. They're just assholes. Why does this deserve a headline? Slow news day?
jcarrsmyth “News”
daveweigel jcarrsmyth I guess it's better than demonrat
jcarrsmyth Repubs?
jcarrsmyth
daveweigel jcarrsmyth Democrats should start always calling GOPers “Retrumplicans”.
jcarrsmyth McCarthy, Jim Crow, Nixon...what a joke
daveweigel jcarrsmyth Merica is great, from the Atlant to the Pacif.
jcarrsmyth Rush Limbaugh did this for thirty years and you're just noticing it now.
jcarrsmyth JoeNBC calls us 'Dimocrats' on Morning_Joe 🤪
jcarrsmyth 😡
jcarrsmyth Remind me again, of what party was Senator McCarthy a member?
jcarrsmyth The Republican strategy to unity
jcarrsmyth Fair play: Republ--an party
jcarrsmyth What the hell? Bottom of the barrel lying.
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth 'Liberal' has connotations of excess, while 'conservative' does not, so that's another unfair use of terms. Replace 'conservative' with 'niggardly,' and now it's fair. Or replace 'liberal' with 'progressive.'
jcarrsmyth You missed how often it’s used by cable news
jcarrsmyth Repubican party.
jcarrsmyth Time to change the GOP to the Republiclown Party.
jcarrsmyth Republicans vs Democratics?
jcarrsmyth according to conservative terrorism, 'Democracy is not the objective..'. Mike Lee (Qpublican))
jcarrsmyth AP,
jcarrsmyth Ok, conservats, I can be lazy, too.
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth Oh please. Go find some news or something.
jcarrsmyth Reparations over everything
jcarrsmyth
jcarrsmyth It infuriates me.
jcarrsmyth Crooked is, is Crooked does. GOP should be completely dissolved for the good of the country.
jcarrsmyth I think you mean, “Libs”
jcarrsmyth Lol yes. This is trolling. But it’s not something to cry about or is it news. Tell me, are Democrats being hauled before Congress (which they control) to be investigated for subversive activity? No. Ok, so this isn’t analogous at all. What a stupid thing to write.
jcarrsmyth R's should only be referred to as Regressive Party or Regressives
jcarrsmyth Not the republicans but the free people ! Lol. Again the media not doing their jobs but instead in bed with a slow party. No biggie you all are going to fall. Have a great weekend 😀👍🇺🇸
jcarrsmyth Slow news day?
