Labels aren't just for soup cans
By VictorM: In response to a question during the YouTube debates, Hillary Clinton said that she doesn't consider herself a liberal; she said she prefers the term "progressive." This is one of the many signs of how successful the political right has been at soiling that word "liberal." So much so that a mostly liberal nation has ran away from that term. But, for right wingers, this is like playing whack-a-mole -- you whack one word, another one rears it's ugly head:Progressives... liberals... fucking hippies... pinko commies... whatever you call us, it doesn't matter, we're still beating back the massive effort by conservative groups to turn us back into feudal England. It ain't going to happen.Rasmussen Reports had an interesting survey this week, which showed that when "liberal" is replaced with "progressive," the broader dynamic changes significantly. According to the poll, 35% consider "progressive" a positive description of a candidate, whereas 32% consider "conservative" a positive label. In other words, the left's label is now more popular than the right's.
