Who gives a fuck where it came from? It's the same tactic employed by the right since the beginning of time. Ignore the substance of the argument and recharacterize it to connote "nagging like an annoying woman" and sit back and watch thoughtless idiots eat it up and spread it on their own like wildfire.
