Maybe this is just nuance, but… Have you noticed how people have seemingly been programmed to refer to lawyers as "attorneys". Even among the proletariat, the term "lawyer" is disappearing. I think the phrase "first, we kill all the lawyers" has attached such a derogatory connotation to the term "lawyer" that the legal community has conspired to sway us. Add this to my long list of irrational conspiracy theories…
I think the term 'server' instead of waiter/waitress is more insidious. Plus, there are a lot more of those than lawyers, attorneys and Realtors combined! They could rise up at any moment and there'd be nothing anyone could do about it. We'd be stuck at our tables without service for days.
Does Chip Bok care that ALL incoming presidents routinely replace most or all U.S. attorneys? Or are actual facts irrelevant when he's looking to get off a good one on Hillary?
When George W. Bush became president all of Clinton’s US attorneys resigned, and Bush appointed new ones. Nobody made a big deal over this because it was the standard thing to do.
In the final throes of Saddam's rule, he could always count on his information minister, Baghdad Bob to put a positive spin on the worst of whatever was happening in Iraq. President Bush has his own flak hard at work to soft-peddle the scandals and to insult his enemies, "Baghdad Bok".

You're right: it's the most insidious conspiracy since realtors started insisting on a capital 'R.'
