Proposed Name
Aug. 10th, 2009 11:58 amWith their current assault on civil debate and other strong-hand, scorched Earth policies, the far right has become incredibly anti-america. If anything, they sound most like Nazi brownshirts.
Of course, it will do no good to call them that because then they'll just scream 'Godwin Godwin Godwin', both failing to understand that just crying Godwin isn't really a valid argument and that if the shoe fits...
Just the same, I propose a slightly different name for them. One that reminds us of their roots but is updated. I suggest we call them "The Brown Pants" IE.. Like the Brown Shirts but even more full of shit.
