  • The proper name is Democratic Party. "Democrat Party" is a Rush Limbaugh-type thing that's supposed to be a slight. To me, it just proves how the Republican party is trying to divide the country.

  • And you, pookie, are clearly an idiot.

  • I think its cool he called the democrats "the democrat party" because I call his party the republicunts party, so its fair.

  • @Kane88andToews19 You are a moron.

  • Look at the article on democraticnationalcommittee [dot] org

    "Arizona Bill Moves Forward: Eligibility Issue Refuses to Go Away "

  • Or let's just call them what they are, the Communist Democrat Party USA.

  • We call them the democrat party because they hate America and we detest them. Why show respect for a Communist front hellbent on destroying the shining city upon the hill?

  • haha, Chris Matthews is the man. I love how Issa smirks when he realizes he's been "caught". But can someone explain what he meant by the "Mickey Mouse" haha, that made me laugh but I didn't understand it.

  • @amrite

    It's not correct if you were born in America. Or if you speak english. There is no such party unless you purposely fuck up the english language.

  • Conservatives using the term "Democrat" party for the last few years stems from the lunatic Newt Gingrich by way of Frank Luntz. Gingrich put forth a list of terms to be used by the uniformly minded conservatives to be associated with the left because of the sounds of the words. I guess Gingrich thought that leftism could be defeated with clever advertising and polling tricks.

  • Thank you Chris Matthews! This "Democrat Party" shit spewing from Conservatives has annoyed me for a very long time. I'm glad someone finally has enough courage to uphold the integrity that every journalist should have.

  • Much of this nonsense comes from the old "Democratic Republican" party (1792-1824) founded by Thomas Jefferson.

    In that now-defunct party name, as in most English phrases, the adjective precedes the noun, hence "Democrat" received the "-ic" adjective suffix to become "Democratic."

    "Republican" is both a noun and an adjective, etymologically speaking, but the noun "Democrat" needs the "-ic" to become an adjective. When modifying the noun "Party," the adjective form "Democratic" is correct.
