Proposed Name

With 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.

Sounds apt to me!

Actually, I believe DailyKos already has a movement to call these people 'Deathers' (in relation to false euthanasia claims) -- to coincide with the 'Birthers' movement.

It seems well suited since, overall, these 'Deathers' haven't the slightest fucking clue what they're yelling about -- they're just afraid of Obama, same as the 'Birthers'.

Amusingly enough, they're the ones calling the other side Nazis.
