If you consider "neocon" an insult, perhaps you should take it up with Member 7271798 . Warblogger is a fairly standard term too, as far as web neologisms go, anyway. As near as I can tell, you made up the other stuff. I certainly never called anybody racist, bloodthirsty, or imperialist. Then there's the issue of W and the frenzy thing, as in Message 17914081

Lots of loaded terms get tossed out here. By volume, I'd assert that most of them are thrown in the direction of "liberals" / "leftists", Arabs, and Muslims. I'm somewhat surprised to see Ken protesting this one, since Arab/Muslim slurs are a dime a dozen around here, but that's his call.
