Dear Dan Boren
I understand that you must stand for re-election as a Democrat in the very conservative state of Oklahoma. But when you said this week that the stimulus bill
became a Democrat bill and not an American bill, because [Obama] didn't use any of the Republican ideas
what were you talking about? In addition to your fondness for using the offensive, GOP-created term for your own party, you appear to believe that "American" bills are only those that Republicans help write.
SEIU National Political Director Jon Youngdahl makes a good point, saying in a statement today that you "apparently [need] a dictionary lesson in what's 'American,' and what's just 'hypocritical,'" but he may be too kind in this case. You voted this afternoon to approve the very stimulus bill you believe is un-American.
Please take some time to re-think this. And while you're doing so, repeat after me: "Democrat-IC, Democrat-IC..."
Love, Elana

Any Democratic official that uses that GOP perjorative "The Democrat Party" or "Democrat ideas" is not a Democrat.

Dan Boren: A Democrat, not an American?

Why does no one use (sic) after the incorrect use of Democrat instead of Democratic?
What if the blogs inserted it in all quotes by Republicans?
Can we alert the NYT and Wash Post that it would be appropriate to do so and point out their collusion in Republican petty games if that don't?
