There's nothing wrong with political short hand. In fact it's necessary for an efficient dialog. The la la-ers are guilty of mucking up discussion first by co-opting the word from the classical liberals (which is how I classify myself) and then by whining about labeling when the public began to reject the ideas packed into the word.

JBE As you well know from reading this thread RR (Religious Right) is indeed meant as an epithet to paint the Republican Party (unjustifyably) and "la la" land liberal (Hollywood Left) is used to smear Democrats (also unjustifyably). It's all part of the political gamesmanship for which we can really give the current crop of WW spinners much credit. It's just part of the political landscape now. So if you're offended by the "la la" land liberal swipe, welcome to the club. Both groups represent the further extreme of their respective political parties and both are fodder for demagoguery. bp
