I never really got it. The only things I can think of are:
A) It makes "democrat" into an identity, rather than the adjective "democratic." We hate those democrats and their democrat party! Helps listeners identify the party with the people they're trained to hate.
B) It sounds like "RAT" which is bad.
I don't think people really get why it's an insult anymore. They all just keep saying it because Limbaugh said it was an insult so it must be so.
