[Marxism] "Joe Six-Pack" and "Hockey Mom"

[Pance Stojkovski]

I didn't watch either political debate on TV last night - I can't stand watching mainstream "politicians" debating. But I did see a clip this morning and the most referenced quote was by Sarah Palin about "Joe Six-Pack and Hockey Mom". Does anybody really like being called this? 

I think the first time I heard the term "Joe Six-Pack" was in a derogatory tone used by Mr. Burns on the Simpsons. Do regular middle class and working class people like being refered to by these terms? It sounds folksy and friendly - but if people really think about it, they should be offended.

And it's not like the gay community reclaiming the terms "gay" and "queer". "Joe Six-Pack" and "Hockey Mom" are still insulting.
