Yeah.  Pettiness often comes down to that.  Whenever we see some kid in a 
schoolyard say something like "Oh Yeah?  We'll so's your old man" the 
thing we think is that it's stupid and outdated.  That's the way it is 
with the lowest levels of insult.  No imagination.  The same thing is 
going on when I hear some bigot say "Jew bankers!" instead of "Jewish 
Bankers"  The insult is still there, but it's combined with rank stupidity 
as well.

Oh! Now I understand! "Democrat" is a derogatory term. Thank you for 
clarifying...

Heheheheheh.
