Gate has now been supplanted with "-
ers" which tailors the political discourse to the laughably fringe who are them maligned and hopefully kept in the minority. It's a democratic tool, in now our vernacular, which I picked upon the connections via Glenn Beck on Fox. Monitoring his drabble, he had a point...
Tea Bagg-ers = Referring to the era in which common republicans collectively went Redneck and lost their fucking minds over founding fathers, obama marxism conspiracy theories, faux-constitutional loyalty and general small minded ness. The radical hard right that went on to stormtroop the common August Town Halls, subsequently blown up by the MSM.
Birth-ers = Devolved political radicals who question the legitimacy of the Barack Obama Hawaii Birth Certificate with emphasis on African Birth and other Racial whistles
Death-ers = Policial bomb throwers who resort to policial terrorism with the masses by carefully planting seeds of extreme fear and doubt amongst the otherwise sane minded middle america public and do so at risk of every having a political career again. Good news is either may run against Obama in 2012: Palin & Newt
Flat Earthers = Conservatives, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and a cornucopia of challenged local radio dolts

The funniest part is that these conservative dolts are using Twitter & Facebook to interact in this childish behavior. Good luck as your minority shrinks permanently. When we get health care passes with a strong public option, Progressive Rule will continue unabated for 25 years and clear the way for even a President Clinton in 2016.
