1. When someone labels someone as a liberal/conservative as if that were something dangerous:
"John mentioned me being wildly liberal. Mostly that's just me opposing George Bush's wrong headed policies since I've been in Congress but I think it is that it is also important to recognize I work with Tom Coburn, the most conservative, one of the most conservative Republicans who John already mentioned to set up what we call a Google for government saying we'll list every dollar of federal spending to make sure that the taxpayer can take a look and see who, in fact, is promoting some of these spending projects that John's been railing about."
- Barack Obama, Sept. 26th, 2008 in the First Presidential Debate
I would say that's a pretty good explanation and rebuttal by Obama after being defined as the most liberal voter in the Senate...
2. Somehow if you wear a US flag lapel pin, then you're patriotic:
Studies show that wearing a lapel pin is not correlated to levels of patriotism. Nor are middle names.
