| 30. It's like using "Democrat" incorrectly as an adjective |

to make it sound more sinister. The neocons are inventing their own lexicon - very Orwellian. Control the language, and you control the people.
I heard the term "homicide bomber" a few times outside of Fox initially, but the other networks eventually realized how silly they sounded.
Unfortunately, you still hear talking heads using the "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" ploy here and there - even on NPR.
