    MrD, i didn't mean to sound like i'm insulting you. What i was going at is that the "entertainer" label was coined by the right wingers when Sicko came out to give less validity to his statements, thus anyone using that label whether consciously or unconsciously is spreading the biased right wing agenda.

    The very same way we have "pro life" label used by people against abortion and "pro choice" used by proponents of abortion - both sides trying to come up with a label that shows that their cause is just - because after all how can you be against life, or how can you be aginst free choice? Or We have "estate tax" used by people who want to tax inheritance and "death tax" (because who would want to tax the dead?) used by people who are against it. All those labels are carefully chosen to further the someone agenda. Words have a huge power and using them willy nilly is dangerous.
