"crazy liberal" is actually an excellent example of the point I was making, because it is a commonly seen term in popular culture, and reflects, just as "oil welfare" does, popular use and understanding.
you just demonstrated the validity of my example & demonstration as support for my rhetorical point.
what's funny is you didn't realize that's what you were doing.
I don't follow Michael Moore personally, so I hadn't heard he's said anything about oil welfare. You got a cite?
let's see - a search for oil welfare in google news produces 1330 results -so, media sorted thru the google news filter, which chops out the smaller stuff and only shows a limited date range - finds the words oil and welfare close in a fair number of pages.
here's an example - the Big Oil Welfare Repeal Act legislation proposed by some delaware congressman -

Cong. Carney introduces Big Oil Welfare Repeal Act
Delaware Congressman John Carney has introduced the Big Oil Welfare Repeal Act. The measure would repeal billions in Big Oil subsidies and help reduce the federal deficit by nearly $13 billion. This would remove a tax deduction for the Big Five oil companies ? who continue to receive taxpayer-funded subsidies ? while crude and gas prices continue to rise. Carney says incurring additional debt to subsidize big oil companies which already have an incentive to produce oil is foolish and irresponsible.
