Lots of people, however, resented Franklin D. Roosevelt for running four times and thought of Truman as "more FDR." Simple as it was, "Had enough?" made a noise because it plucked a string that was already out there in the American political orchestra.

 List of pejorative political slogans at opensource encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Many pejorative political slogans are obtained by joining an otherwise neutral description of a political movement or group with a pejorative term questioning the groups's sanity or motives, or associating the group with hated political movements of the past such as Nazis or Communists.
Arguments about the use of these slogans often follow a pattern in which proponents of the slogans insist that the term is intended to be construed so narrowly as to be inoffensive while opponents insist that the term as heard by a typical listener will be construed more broadly.
Thus, except in cases where the slogan is being used as a shibboleth to closely identify the author with a particular political movement, a wise writer or speaker will generally adopt more neutral terminology.
