Over time they've been successful in demonizing the word Liberal to the point that some now substitute Progressive for the classic Liberal label. Now they are going after Moderate. Romney is a Moderate. Moderate is the not-conservative ergo Moderate is bad.
I guess eventually it will be Conservative and Bat Shit Crazy with BSC demonizing Conservative.
