Etymology of the word "Democrat"

Posted 21 Feb 2008 in Democrats, humor

An interesting tidbit from our founding fathers, courtesy of historian Joseph Ellis. (h/t: Neal Boortz)

“… the term “democrat” originated as an epithet and referred to ‘one who panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.’“

How amusingly prescient.
