In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Who are the Real Liberals?, trebb wrote:
“No such thing as a liberal anymore - they have been successful in bastardizing the English language to the point where even those who consider themselves to be liberals have no real sense of the original meaning of the word. There were many during the ‘60s that might have been true liberals, but they were co-opted by the commies who saw a huge, gaping, opening with the naive college kids who thought themselves to be sophisticated scholars.”
Treb is right on
But it’s not only those who have the “Ist virus” which has bastardized the meaning. Limbaugh dwells on their (the sicko’s with the “Ist virus”) perverse definition of this political term applying that definition of “Liberal” every chance he gets. As well as many other “conservative” talkie hosts has. They have contributed to acceptance of the morphing its meaning as much as the fascist/socialist/communist did.
But I'm sure you are completely innocent aren't you. BTW the morphing happened long before Limbaugh.
