What should we call it when GOPers like Trump or Bachmann bond with teabaggers

[applegrove]

over some conspiracy theory or history corrupted knowing full well they are wrong. It happens frequently enough that we need a word for it.


"Stupid baiting" comes to mind but "baiting" implies violence against said stupid people.

1. Garden variety exploitation. nt

[mrcheerful]

2. That would be tea bagged, which is the bonding of testicles to face,

[tularetom]

3. Call it "proof" - proof of the old HL Mencken adage

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people".

[MacNfries]

4. I'd call it a Godsend ... come 2012 the retaking of Congress begins!

Let's face it, these teabaggers and far right Republicans are so entrenched in the purity of "supply-side economics" that they aren't going to accept any other solution to any problem in the US. I'm enjoying watching the teabaggers in their own states getting shouted down by their own constitutes. Pretty funny stuff! What a joke they're going to be come 2012! Can you say H-I-S-T-O-R-Y?

5. Fleabaggers

[calimary]

6. I kinda like teaRACISTS or maybe RACISTbaggers. Or RACEbaggers? Which sounds better?

Better - as in - more suggestively vile?

I think we need to LAMINATE the word and concept and blight RACISM to ALL of them. Make 'em deny it! FORCE them to play defense. FORCE them to start wiggling around it and avoiding it and trying desperately to blame it on somebody else/anybody else. Make them look worse and Worse and WORSE. Hobble them with this for the next several DECADES. Hang it around their necks like a millstone and lock it in place. Surgically attach it. Let there never be air between RACISM and them.

This is NO time to make nice. They're down. NOW's when we should KICK 'em. Hard. And relentlessly. And preferably with track shoes we've worn while walking through piles of shit.
