What's in a name?

Not trying to make a partisan point here but just an observation. Unfortunately it will come out sounding partisan, I'm sure. I find it amusing as I read through this forum that in almost every post someone finds a way to get in a new name for their "favorite" politician. From "shrub" to "McSame", etc. Certainly I've seen a reference to a Dem also, e.g., O'Carter, maybe calling him "Hussein" on occasion. But am I wrong to believe the left leaners (those fitting that description based on my interpretation mind you) seem to use this tactic more than the right leaners? I've only seen a couple name changes for Obama but my goodness...how many of these have we seen?...
McSame;
McBush;
McRich (saw that today for the first time);
McLame;
oh, and let's not overlook these gems...
"Deadeye" Dick Cheney;
Darth Cheney;
Rummy;
Dubya;
Schwarzenegger: "Der Gropenfuhrer";
McCain actually called Obama "Dr. No", in reference to his energy and drilling policies I believe;

There are a number of others I've seen used in this forum but they slip my mind right now. Regardless, I'm finding it a bit amusing. Am I wrong though in my perception this is more of a left tactic?
