When I was AFK, I had another really good right wing example, but it escapes me now.

I'll let you know if it comes back.

No worries, this thread is way too long now anyway... ;)

And really, thinking about it the best and most prevalent example from the conservative side is the word "socialism."

It means a community owning the means of production, but many conservatives use it to mean any kind of social welfare program or even anyone who isn't conservative.

There's a great example in this thread even! If you go back a bit you'll see someone else replied accusing me of being a progressive, in response to which someone else claimed I was a socialist!
