Many liberals who were upset that R-wingers used "Hussein" now gladly slur Romney w/ "Willard." No direct parallel, but worth pointing out.
@mch2k Connection is using less-known parts of their names for the purpose of disparagement. I said it's not a direct parallel.

@mch2k Well,@JoshuaHol comes to mind, for one. Just because the Right's connotations were worse doesn't make the tactic acceptable. - 9 more replies
