Is refering to every idiot conservative as a "freeper" a good idea?

[LeftyMom]

We know the FreakRepublic idiots lurk here. Should we be implying that they have some sort of vast network of ideological brethren a good idea?

Would it be better framing to call the general population of idiots, be they fundies or dittoheads or mysogonists whatever sort of paint chip gnawing morans they are by some other name? Wouldn't it be better to let those little shits realize just how lonely they are instead of giving them the illusion that they are part of some massive idiot uprising?

Am I off base on this?

1. How about "troglodyte"?

or "knuckle-dragging mouth-breather"?

7. "white trash"

Am I the only one bothered by the racism and bigotry inherent in identifying a political ideology, whatever it is, with a particular race?

8. The term you mention is used to

put them in the little group they inhabit. They exist outside of the realm of actual Conservative Republicans. And they all seem to follow the same script, thus, "Ditto-heads".

Then there are your Fundies, or extremist Right-Wing Christians. Theocratic, violent doomsayers who ignore the words of Jesus.

Then there's the Pukes, or Repubelickins, ( Right-Wing extremists, any extreme description will do.) politicians and corporations and media shills with a fondness for neo-fascism. Citizens who strongly feel that ethics and law should not be applied to them or their party also fit into that category.

They may blend one into another.

But most Republicans are like most of the country, trying to get through each day. If there were enough media that did their job, they'd be out in the streets.

Some voted for Kerry. Most people are not self-destructive. Be kind to the Republican neighbors you will meet participating in upcoming anti-war protests. Do not assume anything beforehand. They don't want to sacrifice human life for anyone's suspicious and failed ventures, least of all their own children's lives.

These people are struggling with what their party is doing. Today's report that America has stopped searching for WMD is going to be a big story for them. Be civil to sincere Republicans in the midst of their doubts. "I told you so" won't cut it.

We have more anti-war, anti-Bush policy Republican citizens in this nation than the press will ever allow us to consider.

These stupid little definitions are what I mean, and what many others seem to mean, when posting.
