The new dirty words, courtesy of the McCain campaign

The McCain campaign has successfully created a new list of supposedly 'dirty' words among it's followers. From reading comments and essays from the right I have noticed the following are now negative.

"Community Organizer"
"voter registration"
"minority votes"
"youth vote"
"Muslim"
"Arab"
"pals"
"sex ed"
"elitist"
"ivy league"
"Pro-life"

Of course, these have always been negative but are also really popular right now:

"Socialist"
"Communist"
"Terrorist"
"Un-American"

And then there are those pesky liberals and their hot words:

"lies"
"deregulation"
"corruption"
"abuse of power"
"ethics violations"
"hope"

Both are now promoting change but personally if for one side, 'change' means that voting, education, diversity and community outreach will now become negative terms; I'll take that other kind that promotes hope, tolerance and unity thank you very much.
