We've been talking a lot about framing, and clearly we haven't found terms nasty enough to express just what those folks on the other side of the aisle are doing.
So let's start throwing out ideas. This was happening on another thread, but we can take it up again.
Neocons is good, because it sounds scary and can be shortened to 'cons (which sounds criminal).
"Conservative" is considered positive to a majority of people, so that's not so open for abuse.
I've listed my two contributions
regressives
and
radical reactionaries
(added bonus that they alliterate with "Republican")
so you add yours!
