ch: You wanna know the difference? A few thousand years of extreme persecution.
Which doesn't change the fact that pretty much every "argument" you've used for the term "Democrat Party" not being offensive could be used for claiming "Jew boy" isn't offensive.
As you know, I cited the term "Moral Majority" as an example of a proper name that some people might consider an inaccurate description. In spite of the fact that most of its critics did not consider Falwell's group either "moral" or a "majority," those critics referred to it as the "Moral Majority." They did not announce that their dislike for the group entitled them to rename it -- as you are claiming about Republicans who "don't like saying that it's Democratic bill, idea or party."
It's interesting to look over these word clouds you keep emitting and attempt to pin down the actual argument. so far, it seems to be: "There's nothing insulting about saying 'Democrat Party' rather than 'Democratic Party' and Republicans are entitled to do this because Democrats don't deserve the adjective 'Democratic' and there's nothing insulting about saying that." Which, of course, makes zero sense.
The only question left is the extent to which you believe your own schtick. The level of obfuscation I see in your posts requires an effort, and that effort strongly implies an awareness that it's needed, so I'm not inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
