8. Right. When someone is described as being a member of the
"Democrat Party" it's an insult. Being a Democrat is not.

And time and time again, people like Boehner identify someone as a member of the Democrat Party. Only once have I seen a journalist correct them, and make the distinction that the term is considered insulting. I believe it was someone on CNN.

I don't think I've ever heard John Boehner use the term correctly. Perhaps it's all that nicotine seeping out of his pores turning his skin orange. It's got to be doing the same thing to his brain, what little there is left of it.
