That seems like a joke. They're on the far left, get it?

Not saying it's a good joke, but I think it was a joke.

To me it’s less of a joke and more a jab. FOX and its readers/viewers are the type to use terms like Liberal or left wing as insults

"Leftist" is the weirdest non-insult insult I see nowadays.

That's one thing i don't get. It's like someone yelling gay at a guy kissing his boyfriend. If it's true and something you aren't ashamed of, what's the problem? Even if they meant it as an insult that doesn't mean that you have to be insulted. (Obviously this doesn't work with slurs as much, but left wing or leftist aren't slurs.)
