Mike Silverman deserves a tip of the hat for his Idiotarian Dictionary. Mike may be particularly pissed at the left wing, but there is similar (ab)use of terminology on the far right as well, e.g.,
Liberal: a treacherous amoral naif who hates rich people and believes that big government is the solution to all problems
Patriotism: an attitude characterized by believing everything the Bush administration says.
Rights: buying and carrying guns in case the government gets uppity, worshiping Jesus in public schools, paying as few taxes as possible, keeping government off your back
Civil liberties: peddling pornography, killing unborn babies, standing up for Nazis and communists
Moral clarity: the ability to parse everything into what's absolutely right and what's absolutely wrong, without getting confused by facts or nuance
War on terror: the inalienable right to start a war against whomever we please
WMD: any device that poisons, infects, or radiates people to death, or equipment to build these devices, or at least evidence that such equipment may have existed
