Its time for it to stop.

I wasn't even aware of the sexual use of it until the idiots started using it so much.

I have no problem using it and will continue to do so, mostly because I find the "movement" so idiotic and childish to begin with I see no reason to grant them any level of respect. Go read their typical signs at their rallies about Obama and then start talking about how offensive the term is.

I actually thought the whole "Democrat Party" thing was blow out of proportion and never saw it as a big deal, though it was quite childish on behalf of the Republicans especially when they supported using it in things like platforms. The "Republic Party" nonsense in return on places like DU and DailyKos is just as dumb but much less common and basically non-existant here.

I still don't get what the big deal is, I'm pretty sure it's done more on accident/ignorance than malice.

Not now. Maybe pre-2004 that was the case, but it certainly isn't today.
