I would never be intimidated by an idiot. Not saying who the idiot is, but just in general, you know ... :)
Yep and even before that the socialist/communist types were using it as far back as the French revolution period and even before that....Quote:

In politics, a red flag is predominantly a symbol of socialism, communism, Marxism, trade unions, and left-wing politics; it has been associated with left-wing politics since the French Revolution (1789–99).[1] Socialists adopted the symbol during the Revolutions of 1848 and it became a symbol of communism as a result of its use by the Paris Commune of 1871.
Here is a nice picture of socialists red flags...

Prior to that it was reversed, took me a minute to find it, Reagan was shown as blue on the maps for example.

.........And all the connotations of that colour, or is that reserved for those you disagree with?
What? You (as usual) make no sense.... anyway... reading from the Smithsonian why the colours became standardized it was as simple a some idiot in the media party saying Republican starts with R.... as another example, the 1988 election mapQuote:

interesting, they made it illegal to own firearms a few years back.....
It is a continuation of your last line in post 176. " The party and its candidates have also come to embrace the color red" ..... and according to you , all the connotations of that colour. They must be communists! Make sense now? Or are you more knowledgeable than the entire GOP? Although my last comment- question, might be true.
Mosquito,
I am voting Liberal just to cancel your vote out.
