Generation Opportunity, a Koch-funded front group whose goal is to convince young people that they dont need health insurance, sponsored a tailgate party on the campus of the University of Miami on Saturday.
According to an email by Generation Opportunitys communication director, David Pasch, the Koch brothers money allowed their organization to roll in with a fleet of Hummers, F-150s and Suburbans, each vehicle equipped with an 8 high balloon bouquet floating overhead.
We hired a popular student DJ from UMiami, the email continued, and set up OptOut cornhole sets, beer pong tables, bought 75 pizzas, and hired 8 brand ambassadors aka [scantily clad female] models with bullhorns to help out.
The email failed to indicate who won the cornholing competition.
Student activists independently brought (lots of) beer and liquor for consumption by those 21 and over. Oh yeah, and we educated students about their healthcare options outside the expensive and creepy Obamacare exchanges, Pasch concluded.

I suspect that the meaning is similar for many others as well. Leave it to the Republicans. First it was teabaggers, and now it's cornholers.
Uff da!

(And yeah, I'm aware of the "sport" that goes by the same name, a cruel joke on the guileless rubes of Kentucky and other Middle America-type pseudo-elysia. But seriously, guys... Or should that be "butt seriously!" hahahahah... I crack myself up. ooo, ooo! "crack myself up!" I better stop now, I'm on a roll. Oh, my....)

Oh, wait, they didn't know the meaning of teabagging, either.
